Further to Ian Berrell's excellent article in today's Daily Mail I am horrified to discover last year Britain gave Pakistan £265 million and WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM £446 million by next year. We are ruled by oafs - Cameron, Clegg and Milliband are rich callous men who care not one whit about our British people.

Time to think of the people at home to get then stabilised. A suspension of foreign aid or even half of it for 3 months would be a great start.

the overseas aid budget should be cut.So
all flood defences and other work required to protect families from future situations same as we have this winter in the united kingdom.

All work needs ongoing maintenance so ALL overseas should be channelled to all coastal defences and inland flood prevention to ensure this does not happen on this scale again.

If the news of the flooding our country has had over the past months had been anywhere else in the world our government would have been pledging money and aid of all kinds to help THOSE POOR PEOPLE.What about US!

This petition is very welcome in our house even if it is long overdue. Aid to countries who use it for reasons other that what it is intended for should stop immediately and diverted back to where it will do most good. I.E. BRITAIN. After all, charity does begin at home

Well done Daily Mail, why does it take a disaster such as the awful flooding to bring the publics blood to the boil and attempt to bring the Government to their senses and accept " we have a disaster so spend tax payers money at home ".

Charity begins at home. My heart goes out to all those affected by the floods and money should be used to help these folk and flood defences are put in to stop anymore flooding in the future before it goes abroad

I have been saying for some time that as a country we are supposedly in debt, so how can we donate large amounts to other countries, many of whom are rich countries. Sorry as I am for those people in the Philippines it is not our problem and we, as a country, cannot afford to offer help. Also, a lot of aid sent to other countries doesn't get to the people it is meant for, it lines the pockets of those in charge.When we are debt free and all our home grown problems have been solved, then we can think about donating money to other countries.

Absolute disgrace as usual government rhetoric takes over from providing proper funds to eliminate this problem once again caught with there pants down still we can take comfort in helping India to launch spacecraft with our overseas aid how does that help the problem of global warming Mr Pickles you are all taking the P--- big style and those poor flooded families are paying the price for your gross incompetence

Charity begins at home -when the flood subsides and all the damaged repaired then consider sending aid abroad.

I believe that charity begins at home, and should be so, so that every assistance be given to the people in G.B. first
