You should see the road outside my house. I've been to Beirut and there are better roads there.
Has Britain become a third world country?

"Where do our taxes go?"
This shows it pretty well
Notice how small international aid is.
About charities - I work for a charity and there is a general rule of thumb that you have to spend £1 to get £4, be it on fundraisers' salaries, TV ads or marathon places. Once a charity gets to a certain size it has to employ staff and salaries, even small ones, end up being a very significant part of the budget. Oh, and Britain is not a third world country - most people in third world countries would die to come here and alot of them do (die trying that is).

Stop giving aid to countries that can afford space programmes and nuclear weapons, but can't afford to feed their own people, and spend it on something worthwhile at home.
Stop all new development until the drainage infrastructure has been upgraded to cope with the surface water run off it creates.
And stop wasting money on benefits, cars and houses for foreign hate preachers who come to live here and spout their vitriol.
Drago for PM!

Silly thread!!!
Unless you have been to a real 3rd world country, you cannot imagine the poverty that exists in this world. I have seen it up close in India, and can't imagine what some parts of Africa must be like.
England is rich, we may not feel like that, due to taxes and the high cost of living ..... But lets NOT compare blighty to a 3rd world country!!!

What's a third world country these days? This year Brazils economy surpassed our own, but they still have slums and shanty towns.
