Background
This practice needs to stop. UK funds should prioritize addressing domestic needs, especially during times of financial strain. While international aid has its place, we must ensure that the nation's own challenges are resolved first. The UK is not a charity, and its resources should reflect the priorities of its citizens.
Perhaps the government should start a dedicated charity and ask for voluntary donations, rather than giving away money that doesn't belong to them.
