What the petition asks
It is illogical and unfair that the lives and property of UK taxpayers should be regularly put at risk through flooding whilst the UK Government gives away c£12bn per annum in Overseas Development Aid, much of which is wasted and/or misspent by corrupt and undemocratic governments
