Instead of the heart wrenching pictures from Africa, that show starving children, and women walking miles every day to get water etc, perhaps they should also show us what appeal money and overseas aid really buys?

I only give to UK charities such as MacMillan Cancer and The RNLI. Perhaps seems hard hearted, but i just can't see that after billions pumped into many of these countries, very little seems to have changed.

I think the following is all the proof that is wanted.
/// Last night Lord Ashcroft, the Tory peer who uncovered the use of public money to buy the jet, ///
/// Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni bought the top-of-the-range Gulfstream G550 private plane in the same year ministers gave his poverty- ravaged country £70million.///
/// In 2005, health charities suspended some grants to Uganda, citing alleged financial mismanagement and last year the EU cut budget support to Uganda amid serious fears the regime was pocketing funds.///

I am sure Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni is a thoroughly nasty man, and he undoubtedly stole the £30million from somewhere, but there is no evidence it was from the aid money.
Uganda is rich in Copper, minerals, crude oil and natural gas. It's GDP is $42 billion, so £30million for a jet pocket money. Just because we have given the country aid money, then the President has bought a jet is not evidence in itself that he bought it with the aid money.

No one would suggest that the Consrvative Party get £millions in aid from the British tax payer, then its top fund raiser buys a private jet. Both facts are true, but there is no connection. As I think is the case with the aid mney.

What would a Ugandan dictator want with a Gulfstream jet when the rest of his country is starving, and receiving handouts from other countries. This is typical of these ignorant arrogant people. I object to aid being given to any countries, I reiterate it is like filling a bottomless pit, we are fools to go on handing out money when there are people desparately in need of it here. If Uganda is rich in natural resources, why do we still patronise them.Their perfidy and greed will only continue unless we change our method of handing it out. At least.we should oversee and control the use of the aid for the purposes it is intended for.
