2 Billion pounds for Syrian aid given by David Cameron.

[The Grand Nudger]

I don't want to make a choice of straighter teeth and debts paid for natives vs humanitarian aid for a crisis because that decision bares no relevance to the actual decision being made in reality.

Agreed.

The NHS is where most tax payers have to go for their health care, things like cancer treatment, radio therapy, broken bones, heart problems, pregnancy.  Life of death things.  So all this straighter teeth talk is nonsense.

I think they'll cut back on straighter teeth before they cut back on cancer treatment..if they cut back at all.  Look, if the money well runs dry and you reach a point where the cash you're offering would be more helpful to yourselves than it is to them...then can get behind that, completely.  Something tells me you have a long way to fall before that's the case...judging by just that picture above.

David Cameron, his friends, they won't have to use these services, they will be well paid enough to afford private care easily, it's not a decision that will affect him.

So it's really a choice between good health care provided for the people of Britain vs aid for another country.  And the money isn't coming out of thin air, it's being taxed from the workers of Britain, it isn't just landing from outer space and we're deciding which country the alien money should go to, it was taken as tax which is supposed to be used for things like the NHS, education, schools and the police

I do understand this, I really do.  My country also spends an exorbitant sum of money on foreign aide and it -doesn't- have an NHS.  While I can see that our government -could- spend that money on it's own citizens........ and it's undeniable that this -would- lead to a quality of life increase or decrease for those people.........

...we have those pictures above to consider.

At the -very worst-, we (as in your country and my country) can borrow the money to float our bills while we help out a neighbor.  That's an option they don't have.
