Assuming this is true, is this where we should be spending our money when our own NHS and people need it in this crisis?

Not only is it important that we do help other countries, we will never keep it out of our own country if we let it rip through pooere countries, it will just keep coming back

The BBC explained that this is one of the reasons for doing it. I hope they are selective with where it goes, for example giving foreign aid to India when the country is funding its own space programme might nit be the best use of money.

Very glad the voting is looking the way it is although shame there’s still 16% think that withholding aid to countries who desperately going to need it is acceptable

I think that when a vaccine is made, us and other richer countries should be contributing to vaccinating people in poorer countries for everyone's sake

It is the least wealthy countries can do, unless you agree with the US set up if you can't pay you die. It is all very well to feel disgruntled under the wing of the free NHS.
