its time to modernise this country get pepole that think its a joke to sit on the dole its better than work we all pay for them in some way in our taxes
also family allowences if you earn £45,000 in all not seperatly then i think you dont need it savings have to be made its nasty but if we carry on we go bust we must stop borrowing to give to other countrys

i agree with everything you said it is time we looked after ourselves and let the rest of the world look after it's self.
I think you have a good point Andrew and well done you for having the gumption to post your thoughts.
Since when has it been an offence to not have as good grammar or punctuation as others around you.
I don't believe people should be ridiculed for not being "perfect".

Apparently there's a tariff on spelling properly as well.

It's not a matter of perfect. It's a matter of being able to be understood. On that score, the poster has failed miserably.

I don't get why being selfish and insular would make this country modern?

I'm with Ducati on this issue. I usually find that "charity begins at home" is the mantra of those who have none.
Agree totally with you, A B.
Limiting foreign aid would be in direct contravention of the United Nations and Unesco rulings. All UN coutries are expected to contribute a percentage to international emergencies.
and as members of the commonwealth we have a moral obligation to support the former Empire
As the USA found out in the middle of the 20th century, you cannot turn your back on the world and expect it to go away.
If, as a country, you need to have influence in the world, then you had better be prepared go out and do.

Classic quote there George, hope you don't mind if I use that.

"We"did that already thought....didn't we? The Scottish Enlightenment laid the foundations for the modern World.........just a pity we forgot to follow it at home!
