Re: 5% Savings and £1B from Defence - What goes?
Read somewhere recently that by the end of this Governments tenure in 2020,our overseas aid budget would be somewhere in the region of £23bn,but what we spend on national defence would be less than £20bn!. Said article also stated that £5m of our money recently went to promote the development of a "...
