My post on 4 October mentioned that, under its 'foreign aid' budget, DfID (Department for International Development) had paid £1.2 million to its chums in the T.U.C., here in the U.K., for supposed 'advocacy'. 

Let us be clear.  Not a penny of this 'foreign aid' money went abroad.  It went to trade unionists here in the U.K. who, of course, donate money to the Labour Party.  It stinks. 

But the figure of £1.2 million was apparently wrong.

A new report by International Policy Network - A Closer Union - says that the amount of money siphoned off to the T.U.C. out of the 'foreign aid' budget, since 2003, has been £3.6 million.

And what does Mr. Cameron propose to do about this scandal?  He says the Tories will protect the 'foreign aid' budget from any cuts.
