Rejected petition Cut the aid to oversea countries and focus on building a better Britain

More details

Cut aid to overseas countries and use the money to focus on looking after the children and older people who are starving and going without heating or even a roof over their heads, some of the money could be use to improve education.The government are too concerned about sending money to other countries rather than putting the money into social care and health. If india think our contribution is "peanuts" give it us back and build better housing for children and families who live in cramped, cold and damp houses on crime ridden estates.
