Two thirds of children in Africa not currently in primary school could be educated for the cost of two new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy, Britain’s development secretary has suggested.
Andrew Mitchell said that Britain would continue to fund and support the campaign for universal primary education around the world but that it could not increase its spending without saving elsewhere.
Mr Mitchell was speaking at a summit of world leaders hosted by South Africa’s president Jacob Zuma ahead of the World Cup final. Western donors have pledged to spend £7.3 billion a year to get 32 million African children into primary education.
I think that if we are going to cancel the AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, it should be for operational reasons and not to educate some FUCKING AFRICAN CHILDREN, who probably could be in education by this time if their COUNTRY'S LEADERS stop nicking the aid money that is sent from western democracies. According to this DICKHEAD Britain funds the education of 5 million children around the world and 4.8 million in this country! Apart from that if we can cancel the carriers, THE MONEY SHOULD MAYBE BE USED TO PAY OFF OUR FUCKING DEBTS FIRST, YOU PRICK!
