Just watching Sky news and there talking about massive fraud in the food aid program there, it seems the thousands of tonnes of food aid for the starving is openly being stolen misappropriated etc and then sold to farmers as cattle feed as it's highly Nutritious and the cattle love it!, now this is one reason I don't give to any charity outside of our own country these days. Why were giving aid to India in the first place beats me they a world economic superpower these days, it should be them giving it to us!.

    WOW look at that tumble weed go!.


    I personally I think this forum should be renamed the cyber grave, as Monty Python would say, "this forum is dead, it’s passed on! This forum is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late forum. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace!." well you my drift!?.

    now now not every one is up to no good but it better if help is delivered straight to those that need it a local church will deliver the goods to those that need it rather than politicians who make money off it val

    Hey del isn't that also how our politicians work here now, the minister for the armed forces knows a chap who luckily happens to be his best mate ( in more ways than one I hear) who has knows a chap who makes army boots who's also looking for a big army contract so gets invited by his "best mate" to meet the MOD and other senior staff and low and behold all the ducks get put in a neat little row so every ones happy well except the troops on the ground who find their new boots are badly made so end up getting their family to get them a pair from the local Millets posted to them out in Afghanistan.
    Bugger me spleen was slightly fuller than I thought?.
