Milestones

The UK has a massive debt and we believe it is in decline, with a very high tax burden on its citizens. We think it is the duty of the UK government to put its citizens and the UK first and it is irresponsible to spend taxpayer's money on any overseas project.

We believe we need to reduce the national debt and provide for UK citizens before any overseas aid is considered. We consider that the so called "Soft Power" that the government may hope to gain by giving away billions of pounds of taxpayers money is not an acceptable excuse for spending funds that are needed at home for the improvement of infrastructure, defence, education and health services. UK citizens must come first, we cannot continue borrowing money while giving money away overseas and struggling to pay the interest on the debt.
