Rejected petition CUT FORIEGN AID NOW

More details

The UK currently pays out over 7.2 billion pounds in foriegn aid each year and the current government has ring fenced it and promised to increase it every year.

We are not responsible for the problems of the world and whilst giving aid is good we cannot afford to do so in the present economic climate at the present rate.

Much of the aid goes to support corrupt and despotic regimes like Zimbabwe and Etheopia.

The UK government must cut foriegn aid by 50% and use the money saved to reduce tax and debt in the UK otherwise we will be asking for aid in the future.
