Friend just sent me this on email. Must be something wrong with these figures but not sure what. Feel free to pick holes in it, I won't be passing it on until I'm sure these figures are correct.
********
Someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with all of the people that are running this country!!!
LABOUR, CONSERVATIVES & LIBERALS,
ALL say We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, etc.,
In the past few years we have provided direct cash [£] aid to
£M
Congo 359
Egypt 397
Ethiopia 981
Haiti 1400
Hamas 351
Iraq 1080
Jordan 463
Kazakhstan 304
Kenya 816
Libya 1450
Mexico 622
Mozambique 404
Nigeria 456
Pakistan 2000
Russia 380
Senegal 698
South Africa 566
Sudan 870
Tanzania 554
Uganda 451
Zambia 331
TOTAL
£14,933,000,000.00
Giving them a total of literally £14.933 Billions of Pounds - and the majority of them still hate us !!!
Our retired seniors - living on a 'fixed income'
Do they get any breaks ???
While our government and religious organisations pour Hundreds of Billions of Pounds and Tons of Food to a vast list of Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside
to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
In the UK where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medication or fuel to heat their homes
And mentally ill without treatment... Etc.
YET. .. ..
We still allow illegal "Deprived People" & other free loaders on our shores.
While we are lining up to give them food, clothes, bedding, doctors, medical supplies and whatever else they need.
Can you Imagine what it would be like if "OUR GOVERNMENT" gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't forward this. I'm one of the 1%... I Just did.
