Letter: Why are we giving aid to India?

Letter: The Con Dems are cutting up to 100 RAF top gun pilots and are to dump half of its Tornado fighter jets.

They have axed the Ark Royal and the Harrier jump jets and the Nimrod spy planes.

And the Invincible has been sold for scrap.

So why are we still sending £280 million in foreign aid to India?

This country has been independent from us since 1947. It has its own space programme and aircraft carrier and has commissioned its first nuclear powered warship. The Con Dems care nothing about our defences.

What next, pensions for Al Queda?
