Au contraire Mark. The arrogance of the left ie “ you don’t get it” doesn’t cut it as an explanation. So the reason that has gone over my head is what ?. 
 

Maybe if we gave the left a more binary choice.

 

42m divide 4m = 10.5 days of dingy hotel bills.

So Pakistan or out on the streets?.

 

Or both equal a win win

I agree that the perceived 'arrogance of the left' is a problem which needs addressing. You're clearly not an idiot; I struggle to grasp how you come to terms with your views on the world, and I suspect you feel similar towards me. That doesn't make us enemies, it just means we disagree. I think that most people want a world where we all get along. Most of us have some common ground and that's what we should be building on instead of tit-for-tat shite.

Then explain to me how the likes of the £133 million to Pakistan  benefits UK tax payers. 
The arrogance isn’t perceived Mark it’s right there for all to see, you exhibit it often enough as do the majority of the left leaning types on here. 
What I value most is straight talking honesty Mark, that’s how I was brought up, something a lad from Newbiggin would I thought have realised. Dealing  with smug condescending BS and waffle is just a waste of time. Probably why I have such a low opinion of people like SP who just won’t answer simple questions with any semblance of honesty.

Sooo, they can afford a huge military and space programme, plus nuclear power.

 

Yet you want us to fork out for their poor, erm I fail to see any logic.

 

Unless you're saying give us bread or I'll fire the nuclear weapons ?.

Seriously !!!

Yes, its showing humanity.

 

Reading this I suspect this is showing more your ignorance on how international aid works than anything else to be honest.

 

 

 

 

 

As for arms, the UKs defence budget is about 54 Billion and with 16 million people living in (relative) poverty. Perhaps we should look to our own house if the preference is to reduce arms spending to lift the population out of poverty.

Are you literally smoking something!.

 

Why would you give Pakistan a penny!.

It's almost the exact same retarded argument you'll put forward for giving money to China.

 

They have more than enough money to spend themselves without giving them ANYTHING.

 

They don't need anything except a reality check, not cheque btw!.

A classic example of the arrogance of the left 🤷‍♂️. 

I do wonder as a rather well received post recently questioned about the state of your mental health at times. It’s literally a different planet you must be on. Mind you office based SNP worker that would break anyone over time.
