the world wont give a monkeys...what afterall is tax payers moneys....for but throwing around in displays of largesse and making many undeserving oiks wealthy....while those many tax payers of the west do without the necessities of their own homes and certain medical and educational resources because of the migrants coming to the west from such countries as can afford space programes
think of all the housing which would be freed up in the uk alone if people from Pakistan,,China..Nigeria and Ethiopia were not in our county....no need to build on greenfield sites
our leaders would rather see us starve before such a thing would happen
