Message | I will support, but will endeavor to clarify that these are high levels of "Tied" aid, not just cash dumped on the rubbish heaps of foreign lands. |

Message | Sorry, but there is no link between either - high levels of foreign aid we approve but leaving refugees to fend for themselves (making note of the fact they are REFUGEES) is very silly - especially when looking at the bill as a whole. |
