Aid to African countries totalled US$ 58.4 billion in 2021, or 33.6% of aid. In 2021, 20.7% of aid went to low-income countries, 27.0% to lower-middle income, 11.7% to upper middle income, and 0.1% to high-income countries.

When you start quoting figures,  will you make it clear which country you are referring to and where you  get your figures form.

 

You should have realise also that I am questioning how this "so called aid"  is spent because much is used to secure contracts and to line pockets rather than help the people on the ground.

 

It makes no difference now because we didn't do it and  the tide has already started to wash northwards,  upsetting you,  Grey and others in the process.   Too late mate.

It doesn't make me angry, more sad to be honest.

Myself,  sad and angry,    because we already have problems enough and we have no one who knows what to do about them.

If you want to help the world's poorest then convince them to stop breeding 

 

I'll donate £100 a month to any charity that sends them birth control

 

Educate them that if you don't have food then stop having more children

 

It's a decision that billions of people do around the world do and most have job, skills, food

 

Because at some point there will be 10bn then 15bn then 20bn people 

 

Until we all have nothing

 

I guess that's the socialist wet dream 

According to Attenborough, the education of girls in poor countries will drive down birth rates. More education meaning less religious control and patriarchy. It’s not popular to mention population can’t expand infinitely but I’m yet to hear a convincing argument against it.  I heard stuff about how this will resolve itself in time but it’s all very vague and distant.

Fair enough

 

If you can't keep your legs closed Then stop sending your poor unemployed children to Europe on boats 

 

Keep them there and give them the fishing rods we sent them

In a  lot of third world countries the women are subservient to the men and therefore it's no surprise to me that the women have so many children.

No it's because they don't have pensions so they have as many children as they can to look after them in their old age

 

It's a culture

 

Unfortunately they send all their sons to the UK with no money and no where to live 

 

Most can't even speak English 

 

It's ok though.....they just claim asylum and we give them whatever they want

I have heard that it's to look after them in their old age before so that may be true.🙂

It has to stop 

 

In Italy they elected a "far right" leader and she's done nothing she promised

 

The left have poisoned the west

 

And now it's doomed 

 

But it's ok because the people who don't believe in borders can afford to build huge walls around their homes and employed private security

It is true.

 

Most Eastern European folk I know when asking me why I don't have children say " who will look after you in your old age"

 

 

I just reply Mister Gee and Mister M and Mel.
