How do you feel about this news?
I am all for richer nations supporting poorer ones, however, is Britain still a rich nation? The Autumn statement by the Chancellor today declared that Britain needed to further tighten its belt, more cutbacks and austerity was the way forward to bring down our deficit.

Well, if I haven’t got enough in my pocket to feed my family, I certainly would struggle to feed others.
Not so sure on the priorities of this one.
