A very good article and I agree with every word he says. We are just throwing money away that would be best spent on health and social issues her in Britain.

I think the Express version of this is ridiculously bias. Its not an opinion piece I just read, its a blog that's trying to tell us how to think.

We give 0.7% or 70p in ever £100 in foreign aid and I don't think that's a bad thing. The bad thing is, we hand that money over to a central body who then allocate it how they see fit. If we are going to give foreign aid, we shouldn't be giving it to Indian housing associations who use it to put air coolers in peoples houses. We shouldn't be giving it to self sustaining countries like China but to countries that don't have clean water, medicines and even food. Money needs to get to the people it should. We need to research and start focussing on what makes a 'real difference'.
