    The sad thing about abuse of statistics, conflating a correlation with cause, or even hypothesising cause or relationship in absence of sufficient volume of data or control group , is people can start to believe in unproven nonsense.

    The fundamental problem with our foreign aid policy is the rigidity of it. It should not be automatic, and should be considered on an as and when basis. As Witton states It certainly should not be spent just to make a predetermined total.

    One thing EU actively prevents is fair or free trade. So many countries are prevented from such as agricultural export to generate income to Improve their own circumstance. It's one of the reasons some of us dislike EU. We should trade with them, not give handouts in other than emergencies.
