"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few." Benjamin Disraeli. "Power To The People!" Wolfie Smith "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" Abraham Lincoln

What Is Point?

Indeed. To use the phraseology of the Bangladeshi waiter at the Indian restaurant I frequented in Manchester, "What is point of £135.7m annual British Aid to Bangladesh?" Helping very poor people in an overpopulated, geographically cursed muddy-streak of an artificial, unsustainable country you might say. Well I read this today on Defence Industry Daily. How wonderful that a country with a per capita income of US $1870 spends $1billion per year on defence and is intending to buy fighter jets and maritime patrol aircraft. FFS, DFID blethers on about "climate change" being a great threat to the wretched country. What is point?
