All true, India should spend it's own money helping the poor but they don't seem to do so. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/9666249/Britains-280-million-aid-to-India-will-be-scrapped.html So aid to India is being stopped in 2015, but the money will be deverted to other poorer countries. We can't just keep the money since we have to stick to the 0.7% of gdp target for aid. ...
Perhaps the aid is only to be used for certain causes such as poverty.
@HuwMatthews2 , 100% true.
The leaking of secret state information has endangered the lives of people that work for the security services. People that put their own lives at risk on a daily basis to protect us. For many decades people have risks their own safety and sometimes paid the ultimate price for the safety of us all. Anyone who thinks Edward Snowden is a hero should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
@Taylorjack913 , same here. only one group of kids (with an adult) came to the door, i gave them some sweets and there were no problems at all. i hope it went as well for everyone else.
I can't decide whether to get some sweets to hand out or just don't bother answering the door?
I just don't see how a traitor is viewed as a hero. He leaked state secrets, he is untrustworthy and has let down the country that has given him everything. I'm very grateful for all the other security workers that do carry out their duties responsibly and don't seek fame. Thank you
Oops I missed out a word. I meant to type - 'as long as it is not leaked out'. Never mind. My point is that none of what Edward Snowden has done is good for us, difficult to understand people calling him a hero. Why did he really do it? I believe he just wanted fame and fortune.
It is obviously advantageous to tap world leaders to get an upper hand when dealing with them, as long as it is leaked out.
They may not be terrorists, but I don't see anything wrong with wide spread tapping to look out for terrorist related communications. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2400702/British-surveillance-facility-based-Middle-East-revealed-Snowden-leaks.html - Why did he revealed this?
