ANOTHER £100 MILLION

                                                         ANOTHER £100 MILLION

It's funny, isn't it.  Whilst Nick Clegg was being ever so pleased with himself with his announcement to the world that our government is about to pledge a further £100 million to Syria, I fumed at this use of  our - yes, our money.  He seemed to take great delight in stating that Britain was 'Leading the charge', and that 'We cannot avert our eyes from Syrian people'.  I could, and can, very easily in fact. IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM!  I thought this country was broke?  Isn't this why VAT was increased to 20%? Were we not 'All in it together'?  I don't expect Messrs Cameron, Clegg or anyone else in government to be in touch with the public or their views, but surely they must have considered using the money to top up their pension funds or their expenses at least.

Still, the one thing you can be sure of is that if they are not being self-serving, they will be contributing to those who have never contributed to this country and will never thank us.  Whatever we do - or give -  we will  always remain 'Those western imperialists'.
