Thats the sort of overseas aid I approve of - not the sort that lines the pockets of corrupt officials and pays "consultants" £800 a day.
So why yet again is HM got being charged an extortionate amount for landing fees and services.......did we learn nothing from the Pakistan fiasco......having worked for the UN alongside NGO'S such as Oxfam I saw first hand the financial waste they spend on air fairs (business class) and will be directing my money to UK charities. Extortionate landing fees for aid aircraft have to stop.
