I was talking to Mrs. Higgins from down the road last week. Her son's in the forces, stationed out in some godforsaken desert I can't even pronounce the name of. He's out there, risking his life, and for what? So we can send millions of pounds to a place that probably couldn't point the UK out on a map and doesn't buy a single thing from our local businesses. It just doesn’t make sense.
Our foreign policy needs a serious rethink. Instead of throwing money at countries that have no strategic interest in us, we should be focusing on building genuine partnerships. That means prioritising aid and trade agreements with nations that actually benefit us, and by us, I mean people like you and me, not just the politicians in Westminster. Think about what that money could do here.
