The reality of giving even humanitarian aid
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8462717.stm

While many are generous and willing to give, there will be some in the population that feel British money is only for British activities/needs.

1. Griffin belongs in the 'scum of the earth' category
that Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh have been place in, in GD: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7488703

How disgusting to be 'MEP' next to the turd's name.

2. Griffin and his party are neo-fascist scum
A disgrace to our country.

BTW someone on GD suggested that the USA and UK should club together to sent Griffin, Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh on a one-way rocket trip to the moon! While this seems a little unfair on the poor old moon, the idea does have its attractions!

3. Stupidity is to be expected from the BNP.
It's when the stupidity spreads to the rest of the right wing that there is a problem.

The only other example of RW idiocy I've seen with regard to Haiti is the Daily Fail's abysmal coverage of the whole thing.

4. It's stupidity alright
But i've been reading the same comments form people commenting on news articles appealling for aid. They all think that western countries are too in debt to even give.
