DAVID Cameron was yesterday confronted by a sobbing cancer sufferer demanding to know why he is spending £12billion on aid while she cannot get treatment

Yes, let's blame foreign aid for the lack of medical funding. Not the military adventures, nor the London Games, nor anything else. It's those pesky foreigners getting our money for irrelevant stuff like family planning, and food. How dare they.

It's hard not to feel sorry for a cancer patient, but Anna appears to believe that she is entitled to a quarter million dollars, and that she deserves it more than those foreigners who get aid.

It's more than a quarter million dollars - not quite a half million dollars, but still...

[sesmo]

Right you are. A quarter million British pounds. Otherwise, the same argument applies.

[mutive]

Yup. Otherwise do agree with the argument. ;)

[polietics]

This.

Forgive me if I sound like one of those pesky people with sanity, but if we'd just stop renewing our giant death machine then we'd be able to sort the economy and pump money into health and education - and it's education that forwards the frontiers of medicine, after all.

Yup. I have so much sympathy for her but seriously, why is it foreign aid people always want to cut? Ugh.

[anjak_j]

Agreed.

I think it is quite arrogant of this woman to believe she's more worthy of the £250,000 than the many people that could be helped in places like the Sahel.
