This junior doctor bloke has got a point about where the money goes, but he's looking at it all wrong. It’s not about selling weapons, it’s about the government pouring billions into pointless conflicts and foreign aid that never seems to help anyone back here. We’re supposed to be looking after our own people first, not funding wars or helping countries that probably hate us anyway.
Think about it, all that cash spent on defending other people's borders or sending aid packages that get nicked by warlords. That money could be fixing our roads, building more houses so people like me can actually afford to buy one, or making sure our energy bills don't bankrupt us every winter. The NHS is struggling because it's underfunded, sure, but so is everything else in this country that actually matters to working people.
We shouldn't be involved in every scrap going on around the world.
