I READ in the papers that our national debt is £1,300 for every man, woman and child in this country and yet the Government is still giving millions in aid to other countries who have disasters.

To top it all, they have agreed to put £7bn towards the Irish bailout.

Does this mean that we are getting even deeper into debt?

And David Cameron was quick enough to go on about Gordon Brown when he was bailing out the banks.

I wonder, if we had a disaster, who would come rushing to help us?

With Government and our councils, they really know how to blow our money: easy come, easy go, until there is nothing left.
