Decrease and stop giving India most of it; it's a BRICS nation for god's sake!
@5BSKZTW5yrs5Y
Increase for very poor countries including those poor countries suffering natural disasters. Monitor situations carefully-e.g., why give to India which, overall, is rich enough to have advanced technological projects in some areas?
@8SMSXHT4yrs4Y
Aid should be humanitarian in nature and in the form of goods delivered direct to those who need it, not cash to corrupt governments and agencies who redirect it for their own purposes.
@8SKPVCJ4yrs4Y
Government need to sort out poverty in the uk
@B5988HJ3wks3W
Increase, with a strong emphasis on effectiveness, transparency, accountability, and a focus on directly reaching the most vulnerable populations in recipient countries, while also promoting good governance and human rights in the long term.
@B58C8CX 3wks3W
Increase, but we should look again at how we aid foreign countries so that we are certain the aid goes to the citizens that need it and aren't used for drugs, weapons or embezzled by leaders
@B57W9MX3wks3W
only supply aid to counties that are not at war and those that agree with social values of the uk ie no country that treats women or the gays badly should have aid
@B3H865Q3mos3MO
We should slowly start to decrease spending to conserve our own economy, but still be fair and kind to other countries to conserve relations. Also countries that have human rights violations and harbour/promote terrorism/extremism should not be given any aid.
