Closed Divert 50% of the foreign aid budget to tackle social care for the aged in uk

Closed on

More councils in the uk are short of funds to tackle social care in the UK.(12 billion foreign aid budget wasted on rogue nations/state officials), to go directly to councils, so that they do not in turn raise their taxes, which are currently too high now.

This will help to pay for more care homes and after care for the elderly and release more beds in hospitals so that we can all benefit. With an ageing population, If this situation is not tackled this way, then bigger problems will arise. It is on best affordable way forward to this and still retains 50% of the foreign aid budget, which should be more scrutinised than currently is or scrapped altogether.
