We give so much money away that the hardworking tax payer fork out very little of which seems to help us! (the UK) amazingly it's not rare to see government say were making NHS cuts! closing libraries! closing youth clubs! we must cut police force!

Fore example In 2016, the UK spent £13.4 billion on overseas aid, in line with the 0.7% target.

^^^ imagine what a benefit that would have been within the UK!!!

Overseas aid often is an investment to garner trade within the donor country, like India. Its a sweetener to get UK business contracts

Agree Sue. We need to concentrate on our own before giving so much to overseas aid.
