Trafalgar Day [Moved]
-
21st October 1805 Nelson defeated the villainous French at the battle of Trafalgar. To mark this we have lost The Ark Royal, no Aircraft for our Aircraft Carriers for 9 years and major cuts across the board. I always though Navy Cuts were a type of cigarette, (We know how sailors love tobacco, always up for some rough shag). Strangely, despite having to cut £3,000,000,000 from the defence budget, we appear to be giving foreign aid. So help foreigners at the cost of defending the country? Very odd. Personally we should cut all foreign aid to countries with nuclear technology, if you can afford that you don't need our money. Also we have to pay into EU Funds. That should stop as well. Oh look, I have just saved £20 Billion a year! /rant

Does make you wonder in times of hardship why the government sees fit to give our money away...
Over a billion a year to India! We can't afford to give old people a decent pension, but can give this kind of money to a country with a space program!

Just said pretty much the same thing in SoapBox 1.0 I ma baffled by increased bribery foreign aid - was it £11billion? Disgraceful - our armed forces should come first.

Really? Would you please provide a link on how to apply such aid? I know a couple of countries more qualified (they have no old people and no space program). :-D

You are the Arab equivalent of knowledge, you hardly came up with anything original and just propagated what you came across. Besides, you can't rape a woman and claim to have given her an opportunity to experience the joy of motherhood.

QFT. I have read that India is planning to reject the aid offer from next year onwards. I hope they stick to it. The legacy of corruption needs to give way for something more sensible.

we will build our own. You guys still give money just to prove that you are still a great power in the world, nothing else. We dont care who is greater power as long as money comes in. :) Thanks for your prompt Tax payments. :laugh:

Agreed, India is booming, it should not need aid. However there may be some major problems in the next 10-15 years. Water[^], and it is only going to get worse.

They (I mean colonial British) created those articles of "development" that you hint they are only to be able to colonize better. They needed a better means of transport that could carry off the loot quicker to the docks. Every single "legacy", including corruption, was to ruin the land and nothing else. I hope how the allegory of rape is clear.

My city Bangalore is accelerating towards that as well. The ground water is over used. Whatever is left is contaminated. But who cares, people are going to emigrate more than usual...well the "west" must care :D

Man are you so bitter and living in the past that you believe the shit you are peddling? Never heard of Richard Trevithick[^] or George Stephenson[^] I forgot how advanced and civilised India was. With it's disease and malnutrition, and it's interfaction rivalries, it was an absolute paradise, and today, 50 odd years after you have run your own affairs you have managed to stop all the problems the British caused, like Malaria (or is that not the case that there are 500,000 malarial deaths a year?), Water Shortages (Oh, wait, 600 foot drop in Water table in last 50 years), Religious Intolerance (Damn, still got that) etc.

Where will a billion people emigrate too? No country will take them, and no country has the resources to feed and water them. India must address population control or there will be major problems. And why do you say the West 'Must' care? The west will not be in a position to help. We have our own problems, or have you not seen the news? Riots all across France, Poverty in most of Southern Europe, Britain in Financial trouble, the US has major unemployment. This will take 20 years to clear, India probably hasn't got 20 years of viable water, so what can you do? China is the same, they will be invading Siberia soon!
