    Don't really see the point of Green peace doing that .

    A bit like dumping barrels of oil in the Thames to protest oil spills .

    The government has fended off an attempt by MPs to force it to reverse its cut to spending on overseas aid.

    The House of Commons voted by a majority of 35 to keep the budget for international development at 0.5% of national income.

    But several Tory MPs joined Labour and other parties in an attempt to reinstate the 0.7% figure in place until earlier this year.

    Ministers say the cut is needed to keep public debt down during the pandemic.

    The government has faced cross-party criticism over the reduction - including from all the UK's living former prime ministers - which amounts to almost £4bn.

    I'd be totally in favour of increasing foreign aid, but only if it went to those genuinely in need to help them out of their situation and to rebuild a future. From what I can see, very little reaches those people, as others take their cut first, or the funds are diverted, and the schemes do not seem to be sustainable.

    so because saying three black people missed penalties it's racism
    does this mean that in future match reports should never say that a player shoots but doesnt score if he is black
    how are club executives going to comply with the rule that they interview a black person for manager positions when they would be taking part in "hate speech" if they identified the person as black?
    "We have had five applicants for manager." "Are any of them black?" "No." "We need a black applicant otherwise we can't appoint a manager" "Go to black people and ask them to apply to be manager until one agrees"
    "Paul Ince attended an interview to be our next manager. He wasn't selected as manager." HATE SPEECH!

    An interesting take on Jamaica's request for reparations.

    He's basically arguing that they could perhaps have a claim on the Spaniards, as they killed the native Carib's, but to show a loss, they'd have to compare to non-slaves. Given the average wage in Jamaica is far higher than West Africa, the Jamaican's haven't a claim, and possibly owe us money. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The rest realise the public cant afford to pay more tax and made the right choice.

    But feel free to give up our own money to charity*
