Closed Stop the Government from cutting Benefits in the UK while increasing Overseas Aid.

Closed on

Stop the Government from cutting Disability Benefits down from around £12billion (and other Benefits), while continuing to increase Overseas Aid currently at over £12billion, plus all the extra one off payments to one scheme or another.
The Government is voted in by the British people to look after Britain and the British people, maybe they have forgotten, so the Government should explain why they are favouring other parts of the world over the people they are meant to represent.
