Time to look after your own first!

The UK is sending 11 billion pounds to India and China for overseas aid and flood prevention, while the water levels in Somerset rise!.
Last year the Somerset levels and thousands of houses were badly flooded, partly because we couldn't afford to dredge the rivers.
So let me see if I have this right.  We give our money away to Johnny foreigner whilst letting our own people (the ones who gave the government the money in the first place) get flooded because we gave our money away and can't afford to fix things?  How monumentally stupid is that!  Isn't there a politician left with more than 2 brain cells? Bloody silly question really.
