UK still donating foreign aid to rising powerhouse India?

A bit of a touchy subject here in the UK atm in these current times of austerity as I'm sure you can imagine.

The present governments thinking appears to be that it is easier to buy friendship and keeping these countries onside than having to spend countless sums of money when military action is called for...not that we have much of a military capability anymore.

Personally I'm split but would probably err on the side of 'charity begins at home'.

Nice one Jason...I've never seen that one before but had to laugh at the typical weather conditions as he neared the UK
