Time for you all to clamber back on the outrage bus as David Cameron commits an extra £814m funding to immunisation of children in the Third World on top of the £680m already committed.


Personally I think every pound spent on Overseas aid, and moves such as the one above, do more for our long term security and stability than any similar amount spent on the defence budget could ever achieve.
Ah, the old spot of good will goes a hell of a long way ploy eh!

All very well until there is a clash of interests somewhere along the line, but I should imagine the state of HM Forces at present, not to mention that of other western countries, may increasingly prompt less benign observers to feel unduely emboldened.
