Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and because a budgetary line item reading “bribes to Chinese officials slush fund” might look awkward:
Britain sent more than £50 million of aid to China last year, despite repeated pledges to end the ‘indefensible’ handouts.
Figures released by the Foreign Office yesterday revealed that the world’s second biggest economy received an astonishing £51.7 million in UK aid last year, in spite of cutbacks to the wider aid budget.
Details of how the cash was spent have yet to be released, but it covered projects in areas such as tackling climate change, reducing demand for the illegal trade in wild animals and promoting human rights.
And thereby, cloak the indefensible with the unassailable.
I immediate reaction was “Huh???” Why one Earth would anyone send money to China????
Well, so do we.

Proof read dammit!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for that link, Burton. Let me know if/when Peter Pea-rabbit does something about this.
I have started to see “King Chuck is a homo” articles. I think he is on his way out (or maybe to the Tower like in the good old days).
Canada sent $41.9 million in “aid” to China in 2019
That’s only 4 times what we pay terrorists. Chicken feed spread out over 1.2 billion Chinese. Besides what would we do with that $42 million?
Justin did the same.
Who do these men work for?
I think we know.
Time for Romanians.
“And thereby, cloak the indefensible with the unassailable.”
Thanks. I’m stealing that.
