How come we're the only country who has to continue to lash ourself about stuff that happened so long ago?

If India was starving, if there weren't so many multi-millionaires and billionaires there, if their economy wasn't MASSIVE, then I'd probably agree something has to be done. However, when they have a space programme and are still holding out their hand to the UK and holding us responsible for their poo, then something is wrong with them. The real trouble is that the class system in India is twenty times worse than the good-old british class system and the high-caste Indians have no interest in their own poor people.

Yeah you do have a point, there's not much point chucking money away if it isn't being put to good use, the problems are too ingrained for them to be solved by a bit of foreign aid from the UK
