Foreign aid to be shifted to support UK policy, Johnson says - BBC News
Give that man a medal! So for years DFID budget has been used to fund sandal wearing graduates to do the low-level social security work of corrupt evil governments such as Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, while their politicians line their pockets - and he has just caught on!
I hope that the savings from DFID budget can be used to develop MOD capabilities to help the governments of friendly nations who have been totally overwhelmed by problems that are not of their own causing (particularly earthquakes, climate change).
Does MOD actually have an emergency response coordination department for UK interests overseas?
Remember, this is a man who told us that we've save £350m a week by coming out of the EU. Which would go to the NHS. Then he denied all knowledge of it.
