we could think of far better ways in which to spend it
For sure, "we could" but
WE don't have the possession of " public chequebook", some expense swindling, party hack, lobbyist bought and paid for, never had a real job, sanctimonious f*&wit has, and the last thing he/she gives a rats ass about is what "WE" want regardless of who voted them in, there snouts are now at the trough and they ain't gonna stop gorging till were completely skint.
Exhibit A:
The Conga has billions in natural resources, we are going to give them 700M quid over 4 years in aid, at the same time the Congolese president has sold of billions of state owned diamond and other mining concessions to "businessmen" based in the British Virgin Island for pennies on the pound. An guesss who makes up the shortfall for the the destitute citizens? the usual chumps, you and me!

I know its a bit off topic but when I hear the government is spending money on dubious stuff in this country, I say great, coz the money is getting spunked anyway.
Well that's my rant for the day
