The Tory/LibDem Government, with Labour support, plans to double the amount of our tax money it gives away in “foreign aid” to the corrupt chaotic in the artificial Islamic sectarian state of Pakistan. Even though even a Committee of their own MPs has complained that Pakistan makes little effort to pay its own way by collecting any taxes from even the richest of its own people.The Parliamentary International Development Committee is made up of MPs normally happy to hand out cash collected from hardworking British taxpayers and give it away to all manner of corrupt and failing Third World countries. But even they protested on April 4th that it was wrong to give the British people’s money to a country in which 199 out of every 200 people manage to avoid paying any income tax at all. The tax evaders include most of the immensely rich feudal landlords who own Pakistan.
Even LibDem MP Sir Malcolm Bruce, chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, admitted to BBC Radio 4 that “we can’t be expected to go on providing money from taxpayers in Britain earning less than wealthy non-taxpayers in Pakistan.”
Despite this the government is still planning to double the amount of aid it provides to Pakistan from £267 million in 2012-13 to £446million in 2014-15, making it the largest foreign recipient of UK taxpayers’ money.
This sum of £713 million given away in just two years for nothing to Pakistani tax-dodgers compares, for example, with £545 million, which was enough to build the massive new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Edgbaston, Birmingham, from scratch.
Over a million ethnic Pakistani settlers in Britain, who can vote in our elections, may appreciate this level of handouts to their homeland. The indigenous British people, hit at every turn with tax hikes, spending cuts and austerity whilst ever more of their money is given away for nothing to foreigners, will no doubt be less appreciative.
We mere natives will no doubt also be less than delighted to hear that the latest OECD figures show that the UK was second only to the USA in the total amount of foreign aid it gave away last year. In 2012 we handed out £8.62 billion, enough otherwise to have saved us from great swathes of spending cuts and tax hikes.
Even this is not enough to satisfy our rulers’ wish to be liberal with our cash. The Prime Minister has personally promised to increase our aid handouts as a percentage of our national income by a further 25% by the end of this year. So that Britain will be the only country to meet the target set for handouts to Third World pestholes by the United Nations. Most of the UN member who set that target are – you’ve guessed! – the Third World pestholes on the receiving end.
This will no doubt help David Cameron impress his metrosexual mates in swish Notting Hill coffee bars with his liberal streed-cred. Whether it will impress the rest of us who, apart from facing ever higher prices and taxes on static incomes if we have a job at all, will have to foot the bill is another matter…

“metrosexual mates” – i like it – i’ll remember that one – kinda sums up Cameron to a tee!
This subsidy to Pakistan is really part of our commitment to the Afghan War. It should be part of the Defence budget but it looks better as foreign aid. Other costs are lost in the same way. The long-term care of disabled servicemen is lost in the Welfare budget and the treatment of injured servicemen is lost in the Health budget. The real cost of this NATO war is helping to bankrupt the UK.
What a great idea, give more taxpayers money to those great Pakistani folks who hate the west while harbouring terrorists, and don’t get any money from their own wealthy either… more of the lunatic policies of reinforcing third world dependency, from the headless chickens who are supposed to run this country…and to think that this is only a fraction of the money they throw down the bottomless pit known as ”foreign aid”…
With the NHS creaking at the seams due to funding cutbacks, our major road networks in urgent need of investment and our armed forces cut back to the bone for lack of money, one wonders why we are giving ungrateful and untrustworthy Pakistan a single penny in aid.
Yet, unbelievably, our corrupt globalist government is reportedly planning to double the amount of aid (that’s our tax money) it hands to Pakistan from £267m in 2012-13 to £446m in 2014-15.
This will make nuclear armed ultra-corrupt Pakistan the largest recipient of British aid.
Clearly it doesn’t matter to the likes of Bullingdon Club yob Cameron that the winter of 2012/13 will see the largest number of preventable deaths amongst our senior citizens in years – preventable in the sense that a little extra money for fuel and food could have saved a great many lives.
So why are we, the taxpayer, effectively being forced by the Tories to fund that country’s health and education systems – a particularly apt question when so many rich Pakistanis pay so little in tax towards anyrging? if we refused to pay our taxes on the scale that these affluent Pakistanis do would the Islamabad regime send us £100s millions in aid to prop up our NHS and education systems? Hell, as they say, would have to freeze over first.
The figures are as staggering as they are appalling: Cameron’s pinko-Tories are planning to double the amount of aid Britain provides to Pakistan from £267m in 2012-13 to £446m in 2014-15, and they intend to do so in the full knowledge of real and growing hardship here in Britain.
Now whereas it is no surprise that Cameron and his millionaire cabinet are so out of touch with reality, if would also appear that the Tory party itself has severed all connections to its grass roots.
According to a Tory spokesman we need to fund Pakistan as that country has “long-established ties” with the UK and has “real poverty and serious security problems” – as though any of that is our concern.
The truth of the matter is that the Pakistani political elite is so corrupt and greedy that it cares little about the suffering of the lower orders in that country – to the extent that a significant proportion of our aid-money ends up in the private Swiss bank accounts so beloved by leading Tory (and no few “Socialist”) politicians.
According to the experts Pakistan had a lower-than-average tax take, with only 0.57% of Pakistanis – 768,000 individuals – paying income tax last year. In comparable countries, the level is about 15%.
Statistics also reveal that 69% of that country’s National Assembly members and 63% of Senate members did not pay taxes in 2011.
Top Lib Dem politician, Sir Malcolm Bruce, recently said there was “no issue with providing aid to help Pakistan’s poorest people” – a view many would disagree with on the grounds that it’s Pakistan’s problem, not ours.
Ironically and amusingly, a group of Westminster Parliamentarians claimed “corruption was rife in Pakistan, where society was based on patronage and kinship networks” – not unlike the machinations of Westminster then!
And whilst our “Honourabe Members” sit around wringing their hands and pontificating on matters that should not concern them, it is reported that “excess winter deaths” here in Britain are likely to be 20% higher this winter than last.

( Party Official ) Despite doing all he can to undermine CHRISTIANITY in our Country , our Prime Minister , when under pressure , has taken to defending Christian , BRITISH ‘ VALUES ‘ IN UNBELIEVABLE SOUND BITE COMMENTS that are the opposite of his policies. Given the latest MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS in hostile PAKISTAN , he should call their Ambassador in to see him and explain themselves. All foreign aid to that Country should CEASE and to show goodwill , we should arrange for one Million Pakistani CITIZENS to return HOME to HELP THEM WITH THEIR ECONOMY. It is the LEAST WE CAN DO !
