I remember reading this article earlier in the year, and then today I read this one.

 

This seems to be why we pay taxes in the UK. Great, innit?

Your treading on thin ice there Elton the pc bridgade will be on your case.

 

Must not complain about the fact they can support space exploration but fail to support their own.

Amongst many others, we, the taxpayers of Britain are providing aid to both India and China.

These are the two fastest growing economies on the planet, these are both countries with sufficient surplus wealth to fund their own space programs and nuclear weapons programs and I wouldn't be in the least suprised to discover that we have a trade deficit with both country's.

 

Mad ? It'd make a cat laugh.

Spot on,

 

How are we justifying this lord alone knows, and to make matters worse this is money that has to be loaned, because we are up sh1t creek our selves so however much we give them dont forget to add the interest.

Hear hear! Both India an China have enough of their own money. They simply don't appear to want to distribute it fairly. I really resent paying a major part of my pay packet in taxes, and then VAT and duty, when this is forced on us. It's bad enough how government squanders our taxes here, let alone giving it away to countries that don't need it!

 

Pssssst :

It's a load of b****cks, isn't it? We're also busy hamstringing our own industries with binding commitments on carbon dioxide emissions that don't apply to these countries while not only exporting manufacturing but white collar IT and customer service jobs (though funnily enough they never consider offshoring the executive board to somewhere cheaper...).

One of the things that I feel is realy noticable, and steve Has touched on above is the sudden dissiperance of Climate Change, all those hours of worry I have invested in something that could have been adressed by a Credit Crunch.

Well the credit crunch along with oil prices have certainly cut back co2 problems here However we are probably financing the problem in India and China as our hard earnt tax money never arrives where it should do.
