Now don't get me wrong. I believe that as a rich country that has benefited from an Empire which built this nation up to what it is today, we should contribute to overseas aid.
The problem is however, that we are skint. Broke. Up the Yangtze river without a paddle. Through the Department of International Development, (DFID), we contribute 0.7% of GDP or currently £9.1 billion. I don't know about you but I was astounded by that figure. Both Labour and the Tories have committed as one of their election pledges to maintaining that percentage. We also of course contribute as part of the EC. We currently have a net contribution to that fine institution of £7.6 Billion. That's a total of £16.7 billion.
We as a couple contribute £30 monthly to Medicins San Frontiere. We did seriously consider if we should stop that payment as we like many other people are financially squeezed. I decided as I believe in the 'what goes around comes around' principle to leave it in place. Can you imagine however, if as an individual, you were BANKRUPT like the UK is and you had to make arrangements with your creditors but you insisted on giving a sizable amount to charity, well then I would imagine you would be told to fuck off in no uncertain terms. I would think that most of these POOR COUNTRIES don't have a national debt of approaching £1,000,000,000,000. So maybe it's time we cut back, just for a few years, our aid programme.
Oh, BTW, the DFID are boasting on their website that they've just made £150 million pounds of 'efficiency savings'. UNBELIEVABLE!
A pair of homosexual men claim they were turned away from a bed and breakfast because the owner said it was 'against her convictions' for them to share a bed.
Police are investigating after Michael Black, 62, and John Morgan, 56, complained that the owner of the Swiss B&B in Cookham, near Maidenhead in Berkshire, had unlawfully discriminated against them. The couple, from Brampton in Cambridgeshire, arrived at the £75-a-night guest house on Friday and were met outside by the owner, Susanne Wilkinson. 'She said, "It's a large double bed in a double room" and we said, "yes", and then she said it was against her convictions to let us stay.
Quite right too. It's her house and it's up to her who stays in it as far as I am concerned. Call me homophobic if you like, but then most purely heterosexual men are, if they were being honest with themselves. I for one am fed up with the GOVERNMENT and the EC telling me what I HAVE TO THINK. I thole Homosexuals, but it doesn't mean I HAVE TO LIKE WHAT THEY GET UP TO!

A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT PENIS PICTURED YESTERDAY
Following on from the controversy over BENT BANANAS, the E.C. is to bring out legislation banning BENT ERECT PENISES, (OR PENII).The legislation is required after GAYS complained that BENT PENISES are enlarging their ANAL CAVITIES to such an extent that sometimes surgical operations, ARSEPUCKERS, are required to remedy the situation. This problem however, doesn't seem to arise with women as their sexual cavities are designed for the purpose of intercourse and of course may at sometime be used for childbirth.It is thought that this PENILE KINKING has been caused by men urinating, using the same hand time after time. MASTURBATION TECHNIQUES have also been blamed.Under the legislation, MEN whose penis strays by more than 10% when ERECT will have to apply SPLINTS which in time should remedy the problem. These will be available freely on THE N.H.S.Even men who are currently HETEROSEXUAL will have to undergo the treatment as under forthcoming legislation ALL MEN will have to UNDERGO A HOMOSEXUAL ENCOUNTER at least once in their lifetime, so that GAY HUMAN RIGHTS are not abused.
