What is the difference between drug use, and drug abuse?
Alt, the 3 main things they're not cutting are health, education and international aid. Cutting the first 2 would be cutting their own throats, votewise. I really don't think a lot of people care about the aid thing to be honest. Personally, I think we owe a great deal of our wealth to fucking other countries over, so we owe it to them to help. I take it you're in favour of art cuts?
I don't really have a party trick. Sorry.

The main difference is "taking shitloads"

It was more that people were talking about social care issues, metal heath and then she chipped in...
with the arts thing, it was more of a WTF moment than really being anti-arts

Amateur ballet is definitely as much help to the homeless and financially vulnerable
as food stations. Don't be such a facist.

Sorry K-dog I really don't know what I was thinking
Some times I really should try to be more compassionate to the less fortunate

giving aid to countries liek Pakistan, encourages them to not bother developing systems to help their own poor
that sort of thing should be cut

Pakistan and India have a nuclear programme.
India has a space programme. If they accept aid, they should get rid of these.

Quite a few countries don't want our "aid"
as it actually comes mostly in the form of forced contracts for UK suppliers, and inhibits the development of some of their own industries as competitiors. In theory, the aid program probably makes the UK as much as it costs.

Or it would if companies paid any fucking tax.

I think Aid should come with consiquences.
"Fine, we'll give you £2b or whatever, but if we see your prime minster's wife going on a shopping spree in harrods, or your new private home with a brand new imax 3D cinema, then fuck that shit, we're taking it back"
