Whilst reading Ironies this morning, I followed a link to the Conservative East Africa Appeal. They "generously" gave over their Party Political Broadcast spot to air this particular piece.
JUST PASS THE SICK BUCKET PLEASE!
As Martin says "Cameron's complete indifference to the plight of the British people, as was so clearly illustrated in the completely callous, Conservative Party Political broadcast, last evening".
Charity/Aid is either donated or given in times of extreme disaster or when "life is good" and you have a few bob to spare. It is not handed out constantly in huge sums to grease the ego of a leader who has suddenly realised he wants to become the next messiah!
When people in our own country are being forced out of work, being made homeless and struggling to make ends meet, you do not give their money away!
THE UK TAXPAYERS ARE NOT A FUCKING CHARITY, CAMERON YOU SHITHEAD!
Conveniently, The Guardian has just done an excellent interactive graphic of how much of YOUR MONEY Cameron intends to piss into neverending black holes like Africa, Asia and anywhere else you like to mention.
Here are the figures taken from it.

And ? Same old repetitious grovelling by UK Govt to aid Africans. What about Thailand, Burma, Philipines etc ?
ReplyDeleteCharity begins at home.
There are plenty of very rich black people worldwide who could immediately give generous aid, but they won't because that is the nature of Afros.
Nature is more powerful than mankind.
I don't mean to sound unchristian but we really aren't doing them any favours. They will never become self sufficient if we keep them in cash bonded slavery.
ReplyDeleteAnon. I wouldn't mind so much if the funds got to where they were supposed to go but we all know that they don't. Perhaps if these people had to rely on themselves solely they wouldn't have so many children and be better prepared.
ReplyDeleteThanks for both the plug and your support!
