As overseas aid is British taxpayer-funded money, it ought to be used exclusively here in the UK. Heaven knows there are plenty of worthy causes needing funding here at home. China and India can afford to look after their poor - but choose to ignore proper housing, sanitation and education for the poorest of their people, whilst the middle classes grow exponentially. It is only right that they address this anomaly using their money - not ours. African-directed aid simply goes into the coffers of the leaders and feeds rampant corrupion. For the many millions of aid poured into these countries, poor Africans are still verypoor; African leaders are very rich; nothing has changed.
