How much is it going to cost to send ten individuals to India to study homelessness?
What on earth can you 'learn' there that is not already known here?
Taking a conservative estimate of, say, £3,000 per head for this trumped up holiday amounts to about £30,000. money which could be well spent on homeless people here.
I certainly will never give anything to homeless charities. I'd rather give money directly to the beggar.
Are you aware that of this country's third world aid budget, amounting to tens of millions of pounds, two thirds of it goes to India alone?
A country which is currently investing similar amounts of money in nuclear power and producing weapons of mass destruction.
