Then Africa sees we can't afford it and gives it back so we can keep some hospitals open here.

It's because India puts special anti-corruption measures in place for us.

We could of course appoint Bono as an agent, give the money to him so that he can dole it out honestly and fairly on behalf of the whole world.

I did have you lined up for that job, but you'd just blow it on Ford Cortinas.

Which means -

Britain get trade from India

and

India gets trade from Africa

Aid is just another form of bribery.

Foreign aid robs from our country's poor to give to some other country's rich.

All foreign aid with no quid pro quo is a bad thing.
