Decrease and stop giving India most of it; it's a BRICS nation for god's sake!
@5BSKZTW4yrs4Y
Increase for very poor countries including those poor countries suffering natural disasters. Monitor situations carefully-e.g., why give to India which, overall, is rich enough to have advanced technological projects in some areas?
@8SMSXHT4yrs4Y
Aid should be humanitarian in nature and in the form of goods delivered direct to those who need it, not cash to corrupt governments and agencies who redirect it for their own purposes.
@8SKPVCJ4yrs4Y
Government need to sort out poverty in the uk
@9XKMHLM3wks3W
increase but on a quid pro quo basis meaning that we receive greater commercial and diplomatic access.
@9QYGR2Q4mos4MO
We should increase funding to countries that Britain directly impacted the development of, e.g. India
@9QVJ4JV5mos5MO
Decrease current spending proportionate to other nations as it is important to be a force for good and stand up for our allies. However withdraw spending from nations that promote terrorism or violate human rights
@9QQLQN65mos5MO
The current model of aid distribution is counter productive in recipient countries. Needs to be a ground up approach
