Interesting that this isn't anything new, more a continuation of the labour government previous plans.Britain is one of the world's biggest aid donors and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has stuck to the previous Labour government's goal of raising foreign aid to the U.N. target of 0.7 percent of gross national income by 2013.Do we just ditch international obligations.There's more to it than you think. DO you really think India would be signing agreements left right and centre to buy British products without this? Thought not.The agreement to provide aircraft to India is worth 1.1 Billion alone and that's just one contract. As ever, look at the bigger picture.

Do I detect a unhappy Tory voter?

How can anyone slag the Tories off? In such a short period of time they have already:1. Achieved record level of youth unemployment(according to todays news).2. Allowed Bankers to continue taking the piss by awarding themselves obscene bonuses.3. Vowed to cut the number of Police Officers4. Already announced the closure of some prisons and vowed to reduce the number of criminals being sent to prison.Not to mention the increase in VAT, & record fuel prices.The futures looking bright isn't it?
