Rejected petition Stop giving foreign aid to countries that do not need it!
Rejected on
The UK currently spends billions of pounds every year giving foreign aid to countries that do not need it or in many cases have corrupt governments. Our money is being spent to fund space programs and in some cases are funding armies. The money saved could help prevent budget cuts at home.
-India has a population of 1.2 billion and have their own space program which our money is going towards.
-Foreign aid should be pulled from Argentina if they don't give up their claim to the Falklands islands, islands which were never part of Argentina.
-The Caribbean island of Montserrat has received 400 million in aid but still doesn't have a working hospital.
-Six nations we give aid to have a space program!
