Letter: I'm amazed by our foreign aid donations

Letter: I found it totally amazing to read in the press recently that the Government is going to give £650,000,000 to the Pakistan Government to spend on their education system.

Tories: Wake up and smell the coffee. What about "our" education system, the massive cuts in funding for students, increased fees, maintenance grant, etc, etc?

Increased taxes and national insurance . . . fuel prices going up . . . food prices increasing . . . massive cuts . . . child allowance cut for many people and many other things.

All these actions are because of the terrible mess the previous bunch of idiots got the country into. But have we changed one bunch of idiots for another? Really, £650,000,000 on the education system of another country - I am flabbergasted.

Too much is spent on foreign aid as it is, something in the region of £11 billion before long.

I really feel the Tories do not care about the people of this country. They seem intent on failing to keep many of their promises.

Did we get a referendum on the EU? No. What have they done about human rights legislation? They promised action to curb it but, as usual, talk with them is cheap.

Local elections are coming up and it is a sorry situation.

I am struggling to think that I could vote again for the Conservatives.

I would never vote Labour so will probably not vote at all to show my disgust with the Conservatives.
