The UK is not some benevolent charity who wants to help other countries, we want to get busines

Yes exactly...you stroke my back and I'll stroke yours.
Now if that works all well and good but lets not allow our government to put a cloak over this 'gift aid' and have us all believe its just going to build wells in Sudan or jabs against measles in far away Africa. Few of us begrudge real aid, in fact a lot of us contribute to the foreign aid charities who constantly advertise for help, but when I hear my tax money has gone to build a wind farm for a chemical company in India, I want to know and understand why.
