Isn't it a time such as this that India should say 'thank you UK but we don't need your aid so we shall give it to the Philippines' ?

But isn't the problem logistics in this case, not a shortage of aid?
Agree with your sentiment though.
So what is this Red Cross Aid to Britain? Is it to Britain or to the British Red Cross?
And if India pays out 328 m in aid but we pay 280m then teo questions have to be asked.
1) Why dont we just pay the net (if we must pay) and pay the rest to countries that need it (if we must)
2) 280m is of course the UK donation, how much are they coining in from other countries?

//so much money sloshing around//
India's Mars mission cost pence per individual in India
Equivilent to 300m of HS2 - 3.5 hours of Running the NHS - one eigthieth of an Aircraft carrier
Possibly the cheapest space mission ever run
It's a lot of money for an individual to have - but for a space shot it was fabulouly cheap!

thank you Ric.ror for raising this news item on AnswerBank, this was the most horrific natural disaster in living memory, and not one of us can imagine what these poor people of the Philippines are going through they have lost everything and there is no where for them to go.
Britain has pledged £6m, and also further hands on aid.

We can only hope that the rest of the world joins in to try and help these poor people out of the state of total devastation they now find themselves in?
Some have mentioned India's space programme, and this along with other's such programmes, including the manufacture of nuclear weapons designed to destroy our very existence on this Earth, makes one wonder WHY?
Nature is so much more powerful than Man will ever be,and we should be using our time and money combating nature.
I may be going on a little but I feel very strongly over this, and going back to the various space programmes and all the junk that we send into space, caused me to remember my far off school days and what our Science master once told us, and that was that if we reduced the weight of the earth by just a few pounds, it would have tragic circumstances on the finely balanced natural forces on this Earth.
Makes one think doesn't it?

obviously nobody safe in bed in the UK has noticed, but India was hit by a cyclone itself a couple of weeks ago. Half a million left homeless

Jake the peg from your post you have been taken in
Accounts (except cash flow accounts which always truthe)
can be made to say anything
As soon as you said fabulously cheap
I realised the costing had off loaded everything they could to some other capital or income account
so that if all the space team are army then their wages comes from the costs of the sstanding army as they would have to be paid anyway.
damned by your own words - fabulous.... as in a fable...

Was he joking ? We have blasted off tons of material into outer space . Way beyond it having any affect on the earth, by its absence or by its presence elsewhere.

No he was not, but in those far off years when I attended school no one knew that we would one day be capable of blasting such objects out into space.
That was the whole point I was trying to convey, noting such extreme natural changes we have come to see, generally blamed on global Warming etc, who could say that there wasn't a little truth in those far off beliefs?

'they have already said they don't need our aid'
Good they won't mind sending it on then
'We have already said we're stopping it'
Stopping but not stopped
'Keep up'
No I did not know about the cyclone in India - I don't seem to remember anything about this on the news - which is either my fault (quite possible) or the fault of the media (again quite possible)
