Winter weather and politics.

So Britain is in the grip of the worst winter weather in years. On the news they interviewed some British pensioners who have to decide whether to eat or put the heating on and yet our illustrious leader Gordon Brown backed up by David Cameron pledges billions of our money to developing countries. I make no apologies for saying charity begins at home. How can you give our money away knowing that British oensions are amongst the worst in the EU.
It strikes me that our leaders are more concerned about how they appear on the world stage than for the electorate. Or are they just hedging their bets for a nice cushy well paid job in Europe once they are chucked out of parliament. Can't go upsetting the Europhiles now can we!!!!!
