How many £ Billions
I was looking at some annual cost figures over the weekend and it is clear that the countries priorities are totally warped :-
Current UK Foreign Aid budget £11.5 billion
Cost of Social Security Benefits £160 billion
Cost of EU Membership £28 billion (plus bailing out the basket cases)
Cost ot proposed Youth Employment scheme £2 bilion
and bringing up the rear something that impacts on just about every family in the country
Estimated cost if Govt funded all elderly care £1.7 billion

A few Telegraph, BBC Guardian articles I scanned through quoting official figures. I cant find the original article that prompted me to look it was about the Govt dragging its feet over the homecare issue - in a recent Times or Telegraph I think

I echo your sentiments, but I thought the overseas aid budget was more like 1 billion.
