Rejected petition Slash Foreign aid

More details

The UK currently gives over 7.3 Billion a year in aid and it is set to rise every year.

Much of this taxpayers money is given to corrupt regimes ,such as Zimbabwe,Ethiopia, Nigeria etc and much of it finds its way into private bank accounts of officials and government hacks or ends up being controlled by terrorist warlords.

Foreign aid should NOT be ring fenced and should be drastically reduced in these recessionary times.
