If you are of the opinion that our £15bn+ annual aid budget sends all of these funds to assist people in distress and poverty - you would be grievously mistaken.
Moreover, far too many £s go to countries with their own nuclear weapons programmes and space travel ambitions.
How much goes to nations and is filtered out by corrupt leaderships?
If every penny goes to direct aid for the poor and afflicted I shall demand no cuts whatsoever.
But until the time it does - we must selectively cut back and can do so without adding to the burdens of those who suffer.
