Slash foreign aid and the sending of money to overseas to reduce/stop uk cuts

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

In times of continued austerity it is disgusting that goverment continues not only to send millions to foreign countries which has this year increased ever greater, our people and public services are in dyer need of funds and we cannot allow this to continue any longer unchallenged, sign and share

Goverment departments have been ordered to find ways to cut budgets by 40 per cent, providing a serious challenge for services such as the police, local authorities and transport systems from an ambitious chancellor revelling in his renewed mandate, this must not be allowed to happen. Mr Osborne the concept is flawed, the projects profligate and our approach absurd, far better to show the courage of some European friends by ending this foolish splurge abroad.
