I agree with most of the posts above but I feel they are missing the point regardless to what country did what going back in history ,it is Mr Joe public he was talking about not giving enough even if they gave ÂĢ2 and most of it was not paid to these countries which is awful ,they are still giving their their money out of their pockets as a gift to what they can afford,he said he thinks it should be taken off of their taxes I give money every month to 3 of my favourite charites because I want to but it would not go down very well if it was automatically taken off me in taxes ,we do more than most countries and it will never be enough their own government wont help their own people in Africa ,we help with food running water medication for the sick all basic stuff we take for granted it will never be enough ,but I feel the ordinary joe bloggs are very good with handing over their money and should be applauded
Yes I agree with every word Marguerita, its easy to be generous with other people's money.
