Rejected petition STOP OVERSEAS AID. THE UK NEEDS THE AID ITSELF.

More details

I CALL ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP ALL OVERSEAS AID IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE A NATION THAT HAS MANY MEMBERS OF ITS OWN POPULATION THAT ARE IN POVERTY AND IN NEED OF AID. PEOPLE BEING GIVEN FOOD PARCELS, UNABLE TO AFFORD FUEL BILLS. ALL SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT JOBS. OVERSEAS AID ENABLES CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS TO CONTINUE IN THEIR CORRUPTION . WE ARE THE MOST GIVING OF NATIONS. LOOK AT THE WAY WE DONATE TO CHARITIES. TIME TO GIVE TO OUR OWN.
