this is something ive said all along, the uk raises millions of pounds for children in the thrid world but no sign of any of it for our own country, what happened to charity begins at home? also when we see footage of the third world why do they have umpteen anounts of children and then complain that they havent enough food to feed them???
Fecundity rises with poverty (and bad nutrition in particular). From an evolutionary point of view, it makes sense that if the chances of any single offsping surviving to adulthood are small, you should have many offspring.
Low birthrates in the developed world have a significant correlation of their own with poverty - an inverse one.
Moreover, I'm reasonably certain that Bob Geldof singing 'I don't like Mondays' is unlikely to have a significant effect on the speed at which the insurance companies pay out - though possibly anything to stop the tuneless git....

Whilst some people may have lost a chimney breast and had their road closed for a day due to structual surveys, I don't think it was on the same scale as world poverty or hunger in Africa.
The Kent earthquake had one minor casualty, whereas about 50 African children will die from malaria or starvation as you read this.
I therefore think it is just a matter of needs be where needs must. Africa needs assistance more than Kent. If your water mains are down in Folkstone, you can drive to sainsburys and for a few pounds buy a weeks bottled water. In some parts of Africa, children, maybe even toddlers, have to walk miles each day tin hostile environments o refill their gerry cans.

how long is the third world going to need help for, over the last few decades this country alone has sent countless billions of pounds there, and they are no better off now than when it started, if we are so rich as a country , why are thousands of women being denied the brest cancer drug, herceptin, that will give them a few more years with their children, it is to expensive we are told, but never mind the third world is more important, lets send another couple of billion. by the way how do you know the people of Kent dont need any help, has anyone asked, what about if someone had forgotten to insure their house or could not afford to, wouldnt they need some help.
