Yes but you can't buy as much for the same money here as you can else where.
And try to stop insulting people, its against the rules.

Hoestly someone who clicks into a thread and says something like

Not the point i was making, was more talking more around the motivation and effort of our workforce.

Got a problem with my OPINION? Cry me a river. I don't appreciate tax payers money being wasted on another country.
Also trying to rip on my user name is utterly pathetic. Failboat for you.
you keep calling other people morons for a start.
Yes, its the fact you think its wasted when you never know you maybe in the reward area in the long run. So you believe its wasted and even if you did you still may get the reward which tbh i find pathetic.
You are nice aren't you.
Yes I am nice at times, thanks !
however if your giving the money as aid expecting something in return, then it's a bribe and illegal, so there should be no return
I was referring to people saying things like that to be considered morons which tbh is true.
No that's just directed at everyone who doesn't share your view and is just childish, and if you want to insult people over the internet please go do it else where.

Depends how you look at it, i scratch your back you scratch mine, is a good way of looking at it, there should be no return expected however if the country recieving aid decided to return the favour than thats up to them
TBH theres 2 ways of looking at this,
"brown a moron" spend it on this country, deciding factor is where to spend it
or
spend it on a big country and have the favour returned which could help us even more

yes thats called bribery and is generally frowned upon in courts, as shown by the whole Saudi Arabia bribe typhoon thing.
Wow fantastically unbiased way of putting your point across there.
And why do you think India would pay us back?
And how exactly?
I'd much rather this money went to giving the police their 2.5%.
But if we where going to give that aid, it would just quicken the process of them becoming a stronger economy and increase there exports,
So even if we didnt give the aid, they where still getting stronger as a country and economy.
We just acted as a catalyst and hurried that process up, so one way or another we where going to trade with that country more.
So it can be seen as that money was spent just to help our economy out etc.

£800m to india
India spend on themselves etc train workforce education etc etc
India stronger able to manufacture etc compete with China
Trade done with England, cheaper products available in England
England cash flow improoves, better supply and demand etc
Indias cash flow improves Englands cash flow improoves, good strong relations remain with a key country.
Something along those lines
Care to explain how a country increasing its exports helps our economy ?
Just means we're sending our money abroad making our imports greater than our exports isn't exactly healthy is it?
