Maybe instead of funding Madagascar's attempt at becoming a tourist hotspot, they should first have checked to see if tourists would want to go there.

The last I heard recently is that the island is being ravaged by the very worst form of bubonic plague and people are dropping like flies to this medieval disease.

Perhaps the money would be better spent on finding out why this is happening, how to alleviate the current situation and how to prevent it in future. I mean who wants to go to a place where you can pick up bubonic plague along with your tourist trinkets and baubles?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you'll feed him for life.


Give a man bu onic plague and he'll be dead in 10 days.

Try posting something other than cliche if you think you have a point to make.

Bubonic Plague is cured with antibiotics.


Sometimes. Becoming less effective.

The ravage is down to eight cases and the idea that digging up your deceased relatives for a party is probably a bad thing is being passed around instead.

I'd love to go there, the Baobabs look spectacular.

The areas they plan to develop wont be near the locals. They will be isolated areas like the small islands just of the coast.

This is the rich we are talking about - they want to enjoy the scenery and wildlife without any pesky poor people getting in the way


As with Dominican Republic - the ordinary people living in tin huts, the 5 star. all-in resorts on the coast with BIG fences around them...

Look it up.

In reality, the UK gave no aid to China last year

Another point to add is that for countries like the UK "foreign aid" is actually overseas investment (hence the use of the term 'development'). There is always some form of profit motive at the end of these investments, even if its just delevoping new markets for UK companies to invest.

For example:

finding mates for tropical fish in Madagascar,

A much-anticipated island resort hopes to pioneer a new type of indulgent but adventurous beach break

...Protecting unique species will be a key goal for the operation, which will help fund the policing of sustainable fishing policies across a 15,000ha protected marine area... (Financial Times

These sort of payments are an insult to us tax payers and our own needy and sick countryfolk.

Anyway it should STOP sune, they are nearly all here now scrounging.


You haven’t paid tax in donkey years, why are you so bothered?



I, like other sagacious individuals pay tax on our incomes and pay VAT.


Ooooh, another dig.

Last warning.




What does another DIG mean, in fact will you explain why you have given other individual warnings?, you are NOT making sense.

I expected to be banned before now but would have preferred a legitimate sacking Stooo.


It means you are a bit daft and haven't really been following the forums despite posting on all the forums surrounding this one. :smilin:

'Last year' would have been 2013, seeing as your link is from 2014.

Try this one from this year instead:
