A common refrain from people who object to Overseas aid......and usually the first people to also object to helping the homeless and the poor here in the UK.

 

  How about yourself ?

Do you think that its correct of UNICEF to give the UK aid ?

Is the UK are most needy Country in the world and thus deserve UNICEF aid ?

If so, the UK should stop giving money to other Countries, if we are THAT poor .

What is you opinion on UNICEF giving aid to the UK at the expense of African/poor Countries ?

1. As the 6th richest nation on Earth the government should be ensuring no child goes hungry.

2. No the UK is not the most needy and it shouldn't (or its poorest shouldn't)  have to rely on UNICEF

3. No...it should do both...maybe if we didn't hand out contracts on a chumocracy basis there would be a lot more money to go around.

4. Sad that they feel/think/know it is necessary to help the poorest people living in the 6th richest nation on Earth

 

Don't you feel the government should be stepping up to the plate?

   They gave £ 25 000 to ONE London borough .

 

So, all the UK hungry kids were all in the same place ?

Will that small amount of money stop all the "hunger "

Why not open up feeding places all over the UK ?

I can absolutely guarantee that there are many more , millions more kids in the world who are in more need of that food 

The company I work for offered the option of donating the value of your annual Christmas hamper to a charity helping the homeless, great response, close to £6000 was raised, not too far behind a big organisation such as Unicef, not bad for few generous thoughtful everyday workers it would appear, and we seek no publicity - Merry Christmas

How about some facts then, instead of opinionated hyperbole, since that's quite some defamation of the PM.

 

And if you don't know what "taking back control" means since 4.5 years of debate and explanation which is as clear as the nose on the end of your face, then there's no hope. 

 

Remarkable, isn't it. 'Taking back control' is apparently as clear as the nose on my face, but you are unaware of just how utterly unfit for public office our PM is? That must take some effort to be just so blinkered.

 

But while we are at it, maybe you can tell me what no other Brexiteer has managed to elucidate - how will this new found sovereignty manifest itself? How will our Great British Spring feel like?

It’s nothing to do with the wealth of the nation, it’s a matter of children suffering hunger which is a direct result of the failings in ‘wealth distribution’.

 

Foreign aid is used to directly fund programs to help the poor and disadvantaged in other countries that have failed their own poor - and buys a great deal of political and diplomatic good will for the UK.

 

The lesson to learn here is the UK has children who meet the criteria for UN food support - that’s an indictment of the UK’s public policies on poverty and wealth distribution.

 

The fix is address wealth distribution, which is why millionaires and their shills are so offended.

They did it as a stunt to advertise themselves and receive more in donations 

Who has told you all this ? Do you hear voices ? 
 

You’re claiming wild assumptions as facts which isn’t making you sound too clever. 
 

As for claiming one hungry child can’t be as hungry as another hungry child and therefore should be denied food is frankly stupid!

I told you (in your original guise) that picking fruit & veg was the norm during school holidays in my youth; as was clearing rabbit warrens with a ferret down the ol' Y fronts or a trip to the coast armed with mackerel feathers. If I were in UK today i'd be clearing invasive crayfish from the waterways as that to is a 'Brits-won't-do-it' affair in the eyes of remainers yet they're easy to catch, delicious to eat & it's FREE to do so.

Look up your word "manifest" and then the answer to your question will be made obvious.... as in "obvious" from the definition of manifest.

 

Or do you still not yet understand that we are leaving on that date, i.e. finished with the EU membership. What else would you call the UK's status after that timeline, other than a sovereign independent country, or do you need the word sovereign explaining for you as well?

To be sure I checked the list of Sovereign nations 2020.

 

191 countries have undisputed sovereignty, 15 with disputed sovereignty.

 

Belgium is among the 191 countries, so is the United Kingdom.

 

Maybe next year there will be another category added :

 

"Super sovereign" : The United Kingdom.

I don't believe for one minute that all this hatred for Boris is down to his lying, it has more to do with his unenviable task of extracting us from the vice like grip of the EU. The remainers lost the democratic vote and they don't like it, so will call him all the nasty names under the sun. A bit like a child asking Father Christmas for a X Box and getting a Jaffa orange, even Santa will take some abuse from the child not getting his own way.

By the way, .a no deal is worse than an Australian deal, at least they have some reciprocal arrangements on certain goods and products, easing sustoms arrangements.

And now UK truck drivers have been told no meat or dairy products can be taken in their cabs into EU territory. I can see trouble and strife ahead.  After queuing for days in Kent, their moods are already going to be sour, and then their bacon sandwiches are seized!

Never mind, they've still got their Yorkie bars.
