India buys fighter aircraft rather than tackles poverty

There are actions which are so outrageous the deny belief.  A prime example now is India and how it treats its own people.  This is a country with great poverty but also great riches.  It has more billionaires than the UK.  However, rather than consider ways to tackle poverty it is now purchasing fighter aircraft from France but does nothing to help the poor.  The UK gives more in international development finance to India than India gives to itself.   India spent ten billion British pounds on these fighter aircraft, India spent money on ensuring the F1 Grande Prix included it on the circuit, India has a space program.  So why, why does the UK give any aid to India at all?  Maybe in India they do not believe in the right to life, there is no respect to it.  While here in the UK jobs which were indigenous to this country have been sold abroad to India.  Because they do it cheaper.  Then we lose employment and gain in an additional cost of unemployment benefits.  I personally detest speaking to any call centre and find at the end of the phone line is someone who is in India and has just given me an English name to call them by.  At this point I know they are lying.  If they can not tell me their real name how can I tell anything else they say to me is the truth.  My heckles raise.  I know being self protectionist and insular is a bad thing, but the facts are this is not a level playing field and it is probably about time the UK thought twice about giving away finance to countries which don't need but lack in moral values.  What happened to the old saying "charity begins at home?"
