Great we give away 5 MILL and our country is deep in shit

[halfpint]

Our growth for the UK is virtually at 0 and our government are trying to squeeze every penny out of us to get our debt payed off, but low and behold they can pull an extra 5 million pounds out of thier backsides and give it to opposition groups in the Syrian conflict ..way to go GB you rock

I very much dought we do after all the sanctions we now have in place and we have allready sent them 27.5 million pounds for humanitarian aid and food and tbh I dont give a rats arse about Syria or there civil war, let them kill each other, and let us stay out of it because when ever we intervene we just make things worse and waste a shyte load of money which could be better spent in our own country which is strugling.

yeah that's called being closed minded and ignorant

pre-conflict is what i am referring to

how can saying fuck you to people who are getting the shit shot out of them going to help your country ? helping people live could hardly be called 'making things worse'

you see halfpint you cant get your head around it. your not alone though. most people cant feel for anyone other than them fucking selves

sitting in their fancy houses with their fucking internets and their alcohol cigarettes money cars tv's every fucking thing imginable while meanwhile somewhere in the world some cunts mother has just been shot in the head, in the kitchen in front of their family

thats good you dont give a rats arse about a situation like that because you wont be surprised when someone, just like you, doesnt give a fuck about you or yours

[ottopottomouse]

It's an investment.

Clueless you are.

Yep i know a lot of people who dont give a rats arse about me or my family so no suprises there including our dumb idiotic governments, You really think giving money to a civil war helps ? most of it ends up not even going to where its supposed to go but ends up in the hands of militia groups who end up buying more weapons to kill more people, so nope I still do not give a rats arse about the Syrian Civil war No amount of money giving to any conflict will stop people from getting killed and especialy in tribal areas. Let them kill each other but dont get our country involved we cant afford it..

[weewilly]

U.S does the same
We pumped billion into Iraq. Who received the benefit Chinese,French and a couple more Euro.
We pumped billion into Afghanistan. Who will benefit. China, Russia

United States worst empire ever

[helterskelter808]

I don't think the UK appreciated Americans or Libyans sending money to "freedom fighters" in the IRA, did they? The "freedom fighters" in Syria are far worse; Islamist lunatics, many from outside Syria, committing atrocities and already targeting Christians. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea if they win is delusional.

I get the feeling that the rebels are going to be just as bad as the govenment already in place.

5 m pounds is nothing. thats a single politicans retiuremtn fund

you spent that today feeding your soldiers in afghanistan

fuck you. your attitude fucking stinks.

2012, and people sleeping under a sheet of carboard in London while the olympics are on, and the UK govt has money to send elsewhere rather than look after people here - fuck that shit.

2011 and old age pensioners in the UK dying because they can't afford to put the heating on

I could go on, if I could be bothered, but I can't. It's not about not giving a fuck about someone getting shot in the head elsewhere, it's about priorities, and fact is people die over here due to homelessness and lack of warmth. In 20fucking12. Look after your own first (no matter what colour before any cunt thinks I'm on about race), just the same you'd like after family & friends first if if was them or a stranger about to get shot/stabbed/insert-your-own-ertzert-here.

[Jel]

and tbh I'm more pissed off with the govt spunking £27m on a 'look at me!' opening ceremony for the olympics (as well as whatever the practice run cost) - most of them wouldn't give a homeless person a nicker.

[papill0n]

yeah its true - its shitty when your own government is seen to be helping other people before its own

similar situation in australia - we spend millions of dollars to send navy ships to other countries waters to rescue people who are being smuggled illegally into the country

then we house and feed em all for years

it seems like a lot of money when singled out but it is a very very very small percentage of money all our governments are wasting on fuck knows how many things - the list would be endless

[papill0n]

and when the syrian guy that you said 'fuck you' immigrates to the UK he will remember what you said halfpint. he will live in your culture quietly and one day he too shall say 'fuck you'

Not quietly, none of them live quietly

[helterskelter808]

They're not doing it to help Syrians, they're doing it for the same reason the US and Israel are supporting the terrorists: to destabilize and weaken Syria by keeping a bloody civil war going for years.
