Feeding hungry children

[Gonnagle]

Dear Udayana,

Guarantee's, don't think anyone can give you guarantee's, what I can say, a fool and his money are easily parted, and spending on Trident is foolish, better to give that money to education and give the poor the education to work themselves out of poverty, no handouts just a helping hand.

Gonnagle.

Udayana has a point. I think people wouldn't object to higher taxes were it not for the continual pig's ear that is made of public spending.

I too think he has a point, Rhiannon. There are no guarantees, we can't trust the government to spend any saved money where we want it to go. A lot of it would just sit in the vaults while the powers that be talk about it! It is very sad indeed that there is such a lack of trust.

Agree with Gonnagle that more money should be put into education for the reasons he states but I've no objection to people having handouts if they need them, especially the most vulnerable in society which includes kids.

Wot NS said. The hypocrisy of maintaining weapons designed to kill innocent children

Weapons are designed to kill, true, but to think that any Government here would put killing children top of the list if it came to the point of using the nuclear bomb is utterly ridiculous.  It is a weapon of very last resort and its presence so far has probably helped to prevent their proliferation and use in or by less stable countries, and \I see no reason why they should not continue to do so.
I'm with Floo on this. And I shall not respond to any other posts on the subject.

No one said it would be at the top of the list. Just a fact that children would be evaporated because they are indiscriminate. If you don't want to discuss things, then I suggest you shouldn't misrepresent people.
