I LIVE IN THE PROMISED LAND

I know i have not blogged for some considerable time but i feel with the elections coming in about 80 odd days it about time to start again.   Having listened to all the promises that have been made by all the political parties that are not costed or will cost us in the future i make the following proposal.   There is a major problem with Health, Social Care and Education that needs to be fixed quickly as without health you have nothing and without education you fail the test for the future of the country.   So how do we pay for all these without effecting the public purse and without putting the costs onto the future or our children's generation.   Well perhaps we should look at what we give away in foreign  aid which currently runs at .7% of GDP far more the many other countries such as France which gives .45 % of GDP.   So my suggestion would take half of the current foreign aid and put £3 billion into the Health Service, £1 billion into Social Care and £1billion into Education.   The is less the half of the £11.3 billion we give away in foreign aid now and bringing down the aid bill to around that of France.  This would remove the burden of the country where we currently have hospitals, a care system and education are in crisis.    The national debt has increased substantially over the last five years and we need to control debt because that is the future of our children we are playing with.
