I shall get out all the figures relating to Aid paid and Interest repaid from poor African countries if you want, plus the conditions imposed by the international banks for every last cent 'given' to Africa.
And you think the EU is stifling the UK...... |
I didn't say 'aid' was any help at all. They need to stop electing knuckle heads and sort out education, lawlessness and perhaps try and make corruption less acceptable. As SP points out, there's no reason why most of them should be poor at all, given how mineral rich they can be. I can't think of a place on earth that doesn't have a few redeeming qualities, but that doesn't stop them from being shite-holes.
