dig deep now children !

[fireblake]

I'm the type of bloke who would listen to other peoples opinions. My politics are more right than left but one thing that really totally pisses me off is when I'm wrong or don't understand the bigger picture some know it all calls me a racist or a bigot or as nutty as a fruit cake.
Explain to me my errors, not call me names. When I mentioned to a local Labour candidate about Coming out of Europe he practically called me an idiot, (I already knew that) What I didn't know we're the Pro's and Con's of leaving/staying?  Alas most of what I read or hear is about positives of leaving. But if someone calls me a racist bigoted idiot for asking why, I'm more likely to think totally opposite to your opinion
But to get back to the original point of the thread, why are we giving aid to countries like China, I know they have extreme poverty but they are the richest country on earth in real terms. If they choose to buy American debt rather than educate or feed their own people why should we give them aid. The same with India, when you see children living on rubbish dumps but they can send rockets into space and we can't. I'm over simplifying  this but to all the ignorant bigots please explain why their taxes are given to other countries when this country has so many problems. They maybe smaller than the countries receiving aid but they mean a lot to those living here.
