So David Cameron said yesterday he is going to give Pakistan £650million of tax payers money in aid, to help with schooling over there.

    Depends. If it was only going to be spent on something relatively useless like opera anyway, then why not spend it on teaching little kids to read, even if they're foreign?

    We're not actually as poor as politicians like to claim we are. But however skint Britain was, we'd still give aid. It's a political decision, we don't just do it out of the goodness our our hearts. Politicians do it because they think it will benefit Britain too, usually.

    i think it is a good idea for our government in wanting to help out children in Pakistan but, rather than just sending loads of money they should sent out organisation too. They need to make sure that the money we give does benefit the children and not just some politiction in Pakistan.
