The uks on the verge of bankruptcy. At least we don’t loan shark poor countries like China
I work next door to the local Food Bank and each year they are busier and more people turning up. We need to get ourselves away from becoming a third world country, before we can help anyone else.
65 years ago, as a school kid we collected milk bottle tops to help fund water scheme for African countries. Didn’t help then and won’t help now.
All the money we have poured into bilateral commercial investment programs have never really done much to help the the people in the countries we “invested” in.
British investment banks, infrastructure suppliers and the odd corrupt African politicians did rather nicely out of them though
We abandoned out own poor about a decade ago so makes sense we would abandon everyone elses. We cant even convince people that our own poor need help, why would the party elected on politics that kill the poor spend money to genuinely help foreign poor people?
I can’t believe the UK is trying to make some money during an economic crisis, they should be dumping all their wealth in poor nations that the millions of charity that’s sent there every year have done very little to fix. That way everyone can be poor except corrupt officials.
