One of the companies overseeing the scheme was none other than free-market ideologies, and all round dipshits, the Adam Smith Institue.

They have a history of shilling for the UK Government overseas on behalf of the privatisation crowd which inevitably turn bad (unsurprisingly)

I read that today, just another to add to the very long list of reasons why we should stop foreign aid under any of it's guises. We have better and more pressing needs at home and £13billion a year would go a long way towards sorting those out.

Will those needs involve developing new markets and help ensure profitable investment opportunities for British capital - Especially ones free from any pesky regulations that will prevent them dumping the costs (both environment and social) on the locals?

Cos the international development racket does

UK business and their political lackeys aren't interested, their motivation is more on the personal self enrichment side of things.

Video less than 30 minutes and should be watched in full but for those with short attention span, 7 minutes 19 seconds is where the funders are exposed.

Watched it all Fletch, what chance do ordinary people have when the world is ruled by liars? Like I said in my thread title, Propaganda & Conflict the best of bedfellows.
