Rejected petition Reduce Overseas aid

More details

Cuts in health service,police,education,benefits etc yet we plan to give £12billion in overseas aid much of it to corrupt foreign governments many of whom have little regard for the UK
We cannot afford that luxury and the government should do what it was elected to do
Look after its people first and foremost until you can afford to be a benefactor

I call for the government to significantly reduce the level of overseas aid until we are out of our current economic decline
