What the petition asks
We have no problem helping anyone in times of need (tsunami earthquake or famine) however we give away billions every year.
Why are we the tax payers paying to support countries and nothing changes.
In time of emergency we have no problem. But you send money every year abroad yet ignore us.
The people that suffer winter floods homeless and hungry people get little help. Our industry and small businesses suffer and get nothing.
The NHS Police and Fire services struggle like our armed forces. Business struggles.
BUT STILL YOU SEND MONEY ABROAD.
CHAIRTY BEGINS AT HOME.
