Reduce foreign aide! As we receive anyone from anywhere in the world, re-channel total cost of supporting those migrant families allowed into UK, for cost of their accommodation, education, health, Utilities, BENEFITS, pensions, Translators etc, from Foreign aide ring fenced (£11.4bn in 2013& in14 )
This year, Britain became 1st country in G7 to honour a commitment to ring fencing foreign aid 0.7% of gross national income. 2013- £11.4bn Taxpayers money spent on overseas development. Estimated 2014 as£11.8bn. Only Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the UAE met/exceeded 0.7% target in 2013. NO GERMANY, FRANCE here. Volume-UK is 2nd leader in OVERSEAS aid. Government says that International aid "HELPS PREVENT failed states from becoming havens for terrorists, 'REDUCES MIGRANT' pressures and promotes global prosperity" Proved a failure!
