I have been screaming about this for years. When I hear Jack Straw serendipitiously lying his way through tricky questions on the matter and answers which normally decay into "condemnation" strategy it sickens me. Knowing that his country are the biggest suppliers of military equipment to places like the Sudan. "We have spent 30 billion on AID to places like Africa" - is the usual line.
How many arms contracts were tied up in that 30 billion? How many Tornado jets were lumped into the "aid-package" on export credit guarantees. This came to light a few years ago during the Thatcher years that several of the worlds poorest countries were given aid only if they would accept huge arms deals from the donor country also - like Britain for instace, who has this weird system that if the "patient" country then defaults on payment for the Tornados the British taxpayer then pays the bill.
As for the Irish aspect of this story, I'm truly unhappy. What needs to be changed to prevent this happening?
The Government needs to be changed! Government needs to be changed!
We really need to take control of our own destiny as a nation and not continue to allow these braindead self serving moneycrats to dictate policies to us based on the coca cola economic model. We, the people should dictate government policy and not be subservient to dictatorial government and archaic religious institutions. Democracy is a sham it's all done with mirrors.
