Gordon Brown - grovelling for his life in Pakistan.

I'm watching Gordon brown holding a press conference with the Pakistani Prime Minister and it is truly cringe worthy. He is kissing arse like he's never kissed arse before. It looks like he has been snubbed by the President for our treatment of the 11 Pakistani students arrested under terror laws earlier this month. If you remember Brown had a bit of a go at Pakistan for not doing more to stop extremism.

The man is a disaster. By the way, the Petition asking for Brown to resign now has 15,000 signatures. You can sign it by clicking on the boot.

It's time to think twice about foreign aid.

We must call time on British financial aid to China So says Shadow international development secretary Andrew Mitchell. Andrew points out that:

"British taxpayers need to know that their aid money is helping the poorest people in the world, not going to countries which have enough money to tackle poverty themselves.

"China... has an ambitious space exploration programme and is sitting on foreign exchange reserves of almost £2 trillion."

A while ago I asked why we were giving aid to Pakistan. Let's face it, these countries do not need our money for aid projects, this is all about greasing the wheels.

£480m Aid for space racing nuclear power Pakistan!

Pakistan has a Defence Budget of $4.4bn. A massive Nuclear Weapons Program and a Space Agency. Are you seriously telling me that they need a £480m support package from us? Look at this dip-shit smile. Aid my arse.

President Musharraf demands free and fair elections.

Nicked from The Spine. Thanks mate!

Why are we giving aid to General Musharraf's Pakistan?

I can understand why the foreign office is considering measures to cut back on aid from the UK to Pakistan. What I can't understand is why we have pledged to give them £480 million by 2011. I know that Pakistan is not a wealthy country, but it can afford to run a nuclear weapons programme. I'm sorry, but if they can afford to spend their money on nuclear weapons then they obviously don't need our money. Apparently the US have already given Pakistan $10bn since 2001.

You could I suppose be cynical and call this "aid" a bribe for Pakistan's cooperation against the war on terror. What do you think?
