  Dear Sid Perkins,
  Have to say I admire your wit, unfortunately the fact that this country still provides aid to China is no laughing matter. Along with dozens of affluent countries one would never imagine need to have there grubby hands stuck in the UK cash box.
  I do not have any figures to hand but it does not take a brain of Einstiens calibre to work out just how badly we are being taken to the cleaners.
  Two examples come to mind, millions of our money are given to the red cross and oxfam and what happens to all that money?? well lets just recall the list of organisations who lost millions in the Icelandic fiasco?? you've guessed it the red cross and oxfam among others.
  I would not want any one to think I have made a mistake when I say that we as tax payers "GIVE" these organisations money directly through taxation, we dont, but it is given through the department for overseas development and aid .
  We should be grateful for the outcome of the election in one respect in as much as the secretive Douglas Alexander was relieved of his power. Hopefully the running of the aid department will be more open in future,we shall just have to wait and see.
