Signed this afternoon, now well over the 100K! I know the arguments for trade, PR, political alliances etc, but they are wearing a bit thin. While I have no problem with humanitarian aid following natural disasters, this is a concept past it's sell by date. There are a lot of our own people who need help first.

Well said.
Have you noticed MPs start off, trying to sort out local problems for PR purposes, then when they become ministers and especially the PM they forget about there own country totally and want to sort out the world.

Am I understanding this right, there is a petition going round one of the richest countries in the world that already keeps 99.3% of it's national wealth to it's self, so that it stops sharing the pittance that it currently gives....?

I appreciate that there is huge social inequality in this country, but surely we can address this by redistributing the 99.3% we already have rather than stopping the .7% we are currently sharing.

With that said I will now take cover from the incoming abuse...
