The UK Government Hand-Outs List
Or to put it more accurately - theft!
Our government makes us pay a very high amount of tax, then they tell us the country is broke, and then they give billions of pounds away to other countries in 'aid'.
It's not just one of the political parties, it's all of them, Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats.......
All of them constantly tell us we've got no money, they say, we're "broke" and can't help our own pensioners, ex-armed forces, orphans, homeless, NHS etc.
In the past few years the UK has provided aid, in the form of cash to all of these countries -
Country £ Million
- Congo £359,000,000
- Egypt £397,000,000
- Ethiopia £981,000,000
- Haiti £1400,000,000
- Hamas £351,000,000
- Iraq £1080,000,000
- Jordan £463,000,000
- Kazakhstan £304,000,000
- Kenya £816,000,000
- Libya £1450,000,000
- Mexico £622,000,000
- Mozambique £404,000,000
- Nigeria £456,000,000
- Pakistan £2000,000,000
- Russia £380,000,000
- Senegal £698,000,000
- South Africa £566,000,000
- Sudan £870,000,000
- Tanzania £554,000,000
- Uganda £451,000,000
- Zambia £331,000,000
Yep, that's a total of £14,933. Literally Billions of Pounds!
Proving money can't buy you friends, as the majority of these countries hate us.

Our retired pensioners are living on a 'fixed income'.
Do they get any benefits from our government?
Or are they struggling to survive, going without adequate food, and sitting in cold homes because they can't afford to turn on the heating?
Or are they struggling to survive, going without adequate food, and sitting in cold homes because they can't afford to turn on the heating?
Our government and religious organisations 'donate' hundreds of billions of pounds, and tons of food to a long list of foreign countries.
Yet we have more and more people being forced to used food banks just to feed themselves, their families, and to survive.
We have hundreds of children in the car system who are waiting to be fostered and/or adopted, but their needs are being ignored in favour of adopting orphans from foreign countries.
Why? Because our government makes it so difficult for prospective parents to give these children a permanent loving home.

It defies belief that we give away so much money to other countries, when in the UK we have homeless people without any shelter, children lacking the basics like clothing and going hungry, the elderly going without food, essential medication, or fuel to heat their homes, and mentally ill people being left to fend for themselves aka 'care in the community'.
All of these things are happening, that's a fact.
There's proof that we aren't looking after our own people, and yet we still allow illegal immigrants to come to our country and not only do we not send them away, we welcome them, give them food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, education etc.
I'm a nice person, I'm all for helping those in need, but not before we help our own people first.
Charity begins at home. Doesn't it?

Wouldn't it be nice if our government, who work for us, and are paid by us, gave us the same support and care they willingly give to other countries?
Even when a foreign country says they don't want our aid money, we still give it to them. Why? Because as with everything in politics, it's not really about helping is it? It's about power, and money.
All politicians care about is power and money, money and power.
With the UK general election only a few months away, politics is obviously being heavily reported in the media.
I wish all of the political parties would stop acting like two-year-olds, blaming each other for everything that is wrong with this country, stop slagging each other off, and start telling us what they're going to do for Britain, what they're going to do for us.
I think our whole political system needs a shake-up. It's crazy the way it works at the moment; we have a general election, a party wins, and then they are in charge for the next 5 years.
They never do what they said they'd do - not that any of them are saying much about that at the moment.
Or worst still, we have a coalition government, as we do now; Conservatives and Liberal Democrats - who are in power for 5 years.
Five years! of being governed by a government that not one single person in the country voted for.
How can that be right? How is that democratic?
It's not, it's not democratic, which sadly is not a shock - as we don't live in a democracy.
Once a political party has won a general election they should be made by law to carry out all of the plans they said they would in their manifesto.
And during their 5 years in power, we the people should have the power to kick them out of they step out of line.
After all, they work for us. They want us to think they are our bosses, but they're not.
One last thing, slightly off topic; but then I've rambled from billions of pound in foreign aid, to general elections....... so I've already wandered slightly.......
The current government seem obsessed with painting all benefits claimants as lazy workshy scroungers, which is seriously outrageous considering that, as I've said in other blog posts, the majority of benefits claimants are actually employed people, not unemployed. They are working, but they're not being paid enough to live on, so they have no choice but to claim benefits.
And the biggest benefits scroungers in the UK are without doubt the royal family, closely followed by the politicians.
Phew! That's it!
Rant over!
I'm not sure I feel any better having got that out of my system, I think I probably feel even more pissed-off with the eejits in power.
How do you feel about our country?
Our government?
The politicians?
I'm interested to hear your thoughts, just post them in the comments.
