You have been sending foreign aid to parts of the world that are richer than parts of the UK.
British taxpayers have funded anti-congestion measures in Kuala Lumpur, flood prevention in Mexico City and an all-female Chinese opera in Shanghai.
Kuala Lumpur is home to the second tallest building in the world, the Merdeka 118. That cost $1.5billion to build.
They have got their own money over there. Some of the stuff you've been paying for is absolute guff.
Patrick Christys blasts UK's foreign aid spending

You have spent £202,000 helping to foster dialogue among local craftsmen in Shenzhen province in China. That's according to research by the Institute of Economic Affairs.
I mean, another 200,000 has been splashed on fostering creative citizens in China through co-design and public maketspaces. What the heck does it even mean?
For context, some of these places have the same GDP per capita as places like Swansea or Walsall. Do you not think that maybe taxpayers in those areas might prefer the cash themselves?
China has sent a robotic craft to Mars, and yet we're still sending them foreign aid while pensioners in Britain are coming to terms with the fact that they might not be able to heat their own homes this winter.

Now, apparently, in 2022, we sent £353million to the Taliban stronghold of Afghanistan. How's that going?
As far as I can tell, there are two main points behind foreign aid.
Firstly, soft power. Well, I mean, again, how's that going? The Taliban hate us and China is eyeing up an invasion of Taiwan. In fact, outgoing US President Joe Biden secretly upped America's preparedness for nuclear war after China added 90 nuclear warheads in one year last year, to take its total arsenal of world-destroying weapons to 500. Please tell me again why they need our money.
The other aspect of foreign aid is stopping people fleeing their own countries from coming here and being refugees or asylum seekers. How is Calais doing? It's not happening, is it?
In the past, we've given money to an Ethiopian girl band called Wagner. We gave millions to Kenyan rainmakers, but that was in the past. We have to look at what we're doing now.
And I wonder whether at a time when hard-working Brits are really struggling, and our new Labour government has just borrowed £3.1billion more than expected to help fund public sector pay rises, is it really okay to be sending so much money abroad for highly dubious projects?
