Ukip

[trev]

I read it all Trev. Those UKIP policies I mentioned would never, ever, be Tory ones.

Only because the tories are not tory enough for them.

India has a space program and we send them foreign aid. Go figure.

 

[trev]

As do many other countries, I never said that I agree with that though.

Foreign aid isn't actually aid. It is a bribe to keep countries in your sphere of influence. Would you want india to go over to russia or china.

Sorry Trev, that was not directed at you. That was just a general rant

 

[trev]

And as Rap said, it's a bribe. One that could well be worth paying.

I am afraid as a country we are skint and cannot afford to play international troubleshooter anymore. We need to sort out our own backyard.

 

[trev]

TJ, it's funny how we are too skint to give our police officers, nurses, teachers, bin men etc a pay rise but we aren't skint enough that we can't afford a bloody good old war now and again.

Foreign aid, to the like's of China, Brazil, richer than us, don't make me laugh.

I always took it as read that foreign aid was just a cash reduction on the cost of whatever we as a country were selling the nation in "need". I wonder how many countries we supply aid to actually then buy arms and technology ect from us with the very cash we gave them....then down the line we will frack their country and mine their minerals ect.....swings in roundabouts ect ect.

 

[telectrix]

but india needs our foreign aid...... to keep them bloody annoying, can't understand a word, call centres open.

2 "choices", 2 big parties, you vote one, they come to power and mess things up, people are not happy and vote the other and they mess up, repeat.

 

[D Skelton]

You claim to be politically left leaning, but you are ready to vote ukip, i think you are confused

Like I said, no idea at all.

Maybe it is time the brits dropped their pretentions of being an imperial superpower and hunkered down with their european neighbours and work together collectively to achieve their objectives. The uk if it wanted could be one of the power brokers of europe currently it has managed to alienate itself and left the eu to the french and the germans
