/// AOG. as has been pointed out numerous times on this thread, the total sum of overseas aid is under 0.6% of GDP. ///
Yes and so is the spending on the Royalty or our nuclear deterrent etc, etc, only a small percentage of our GDP, but that doesn't stop others from moaning about the costs, and calling for an end to them, or are the lifestyle of corrupt dictators more important than our Royalty or defence?
Incidentally
/// The UK economy grew by 0.6% in the second quarter of 2013, up from 0.3% in the first quarter of the year, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). ///

May be only 0.6% but important enough to make a difference, now without overseas aid that figure would be 1.2% now that would be a step in the right direction.
