Rejected petition Foreign Aid

More details

Due to the current financial situation that Britain finds itself in, and the fact that certain countries treat our aid as an endless 'Gravy train', I would like the Government to follow the example of other states and reduce the overseas aid drastically!
Charity starts at home and our politicians should get out into our poor areas before rushing to throw our tax money away!!
