African and Asian kleptocrats celebrate as British police and soldiers are fired
By David Craig, on October 5th, 2013
This week, our useless government announced that another 3,000 troops are to be fired as part of its plans to reduce our military by 40,000.
I estimate that the government will save around £2.6bn from sacking 40,000 troops and 32,400 police.
The news of the latest redundancies must have caused great joy in the gilded palaces of Africa’s corrupt, kleptocratic dictators and in the luxury mansions of Pakistan’s and India’s venal, tax-avoiding ruling elites.
Why? Because by making these 40,000 troops and 32,400 police redundant, our government will be able to afford the increase on April 5th this year in our foreign aid budget of £2.6bn from £7.9bn a year to £10.5bn a year.
Repeated studies of the effectiveness of foreign aid by the UN (documented in books like Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo and The Bottom Billion by Paul Collier) show that around 80% to 90% of all aid to Third World countries is lost due to corruption and incompetence
Yet, even though our government knows this, it continues to decimate our armed forces and police to enrich utterly corrupt, brutal Third World elites.
