SCS EPISODE 109 - A FOOL AND YOUR MONEY

SCS EPISODE 109 - A FOOL AND YOUR MONEY

This week I round off the audit of the FCDO by looking at UK Aid, which also falls under the name of ODA, which means Official Development Assistance.

There are various contradictions to this form of Government sponsored fraud, as you would expect, and the numbers never seem to add up, which also comes as no surprise.

Considering the 'outrage' of the EU's reference toward the Falkland's, that might want to be tempered when you understand we do it as well, and various details of huge sums being ripped off, which is where any outrage would be more usefully targeted.

I do refer to an error made by the WFP, which we should never let them forget, and the metrics any normal thinking person would expect. I also call BS on the fake 'alternative' being widely promoted.
