Havent we been trying to feed Africa since the 80s?
Africa is more prosperous than it has ever been. Why would they want the imperialist colonising UK to continue to tell them what to do?
They’re proud to stand on their own two collective feet
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!
How can the UK abandon it’s colonies!!! We must support the colonial governors!!!
Oh wait, sorry, I thought it was 1925, my bad….
Well yeah, it’s not the 80s any more. Won’t be long before the Massai Warriors are releasing a charity single for impoverished Brits.
Is sanity coming to the UK government? Or, is it being re-directed on the QT?
The truth is we are in a debt hole that is getting deeper, not less. We, truly, can’t afford to be magnanimous with taxpayers money any longer
I mean, now we’ve all been informed how insidious the „white saviour“ complex is, this seems only fair?
Can’t afford to look after ourselves let alone others country’s
Eventually, the UK started to realise that it needs to focus on itself if it does not want to end up begging other countries for food. You can not feed your neighbours‘ children if your children are already starving.
This is good, I mean not great, but, they won’t get anything either if the UK goes bankrupt. So let the UK get back on its feet (if it can), and then we can pick it up down the road. Can’t be sending money to Africa when children at home are starving
nothing to worry about, when they arrive here by boat they will get 4 meals a day.
I’d much rather my tax money went where it could do the most good. Imagine a zero tolerance illegal immigration policy… that would free up £6bn. Here that _”helps”_ about ~40,000.
Aboard that could provide fresh drinking water, food, vaccines and education to hundreds of thousands.
For those who see this as a bad thing: much of what’s called “foreign aid” is often tied to military support packages or strategic interests, not genuine humanitarian assistance. In many cases, it ends up fueling conflict rather than helping local populations.
Across Africa, there’s growing resistance to Western involvemen, many Africans are actually glad to see foreign powers stepping back. Just look at how countries like France and the U.S. have recently lost control over gold mines and aviation contracts. These aren’t isolated incidents; they reflect a broader shift.
Africans are increasingly rejecting foreign influence because it has often been more about control than support. The so-called aid was less about lifting nations up and more about keeping them dependent.
If you want more context, research recent events in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. There’s a clear message: Africa is redefining its own path, and foreign aid cuts might actually help, not harm, in the long run.
This shift may create inflation, but we should never have expected to get products so cheaply in the first place without the exploitation that made it possible.
I think African needs to start looking after itself
The world wanted the west to pull out of African countries anyway, why are people complaining? This is a huge win for everyone!
im just gona say, if we as a country cant feed outselfs, why are we handling out aids to other? prioritise its own ppl first
Makes sense, foreign aid should be zero when there’s people here struggling and living in poverty. Sort your own house out first.
Good. We shouldn’t be interfering anyway. Let them get their own houses in order.
Africa with aid: Colonial oppression!!
Africa without aid: Save us oppressors!
I know a guy who worked out in South Sahara clearing mines, one of the charities built a well in a village there for clean water, less than a week after it was built the villagers killed a woman from their village and threw her body into the well, immediately rendering it unsafe to use, this is one of the problems with sending money to places where they are potentially 100+ years behind us.
I don’t get it – I thought the UK was built by Africans? Why didn’t they bother building Africa?
Things will be tight for corrupt politicians and generals for the foreseeable then
They can have their aid when they take back all the immigrants.
Its about time they improve their own countries. They have had so much aid over the last few decades and shouldnt expect it forever
I’m confused. Isn’t this what the people complaining about the white saviour complex wanted?
They always tell us how they dont need our aid and can do fine on their own, so I see nothing wrong with this
We’ve more than made up for any possible „colonialism“ and frankly, nothing is ever improving on that continent and we need to be looking after our own first. By our own, I don’t mean the Afgan man who came across on a boat who is bring 6 children with him either.
Once we have our own house in order and our own people housed and fed, THEN we can go back to being benevolent surely?
I’m glad to hear this. For example – India. Why the hell are we sending money to a country that has a literal space program? Make it make sense.
