    Aren't you just proud of this country. Looking at the donations and help offered we are amongst those leading the world to help

    I'm pleasantly surprised we have a warship out there to send. With the cuts to the Royal Navy I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd had to offer to send a rubber dinghy (Presuming it was our turn to share it with the French), but anyway.

    Clearly giving money to the EU, India, Pakistan and failed states is more important than our national security.
