Isn't this just a legality to release those surplus funds that are waiting for us?

Ask Bono ,im sure he a spare 67 bil in his arse pockets !

Bob_Harris · 25-08-2009 01:38AM

I think all inhabitants of Africa should become our slaves to start paying us back instead of looking for more.

If they were allowed to trade fairly they wouldn't have to 'ask' for aid.
And i have to laugh at idiots here saying that African countries can't govern themselves.
We were given every chance and, somehow, managed to get ourselves in a hole we may not emerge from. Certainly not anytime soon.
Still, some of you had nice cars and handbags while it lasted.
All payed for by the banks; whether through loans or jobs directly related to the laughable property bubble we created and sustained.
So drop the misplaced smugness.
In the not to distant future, many African countries will become economic powers.
I hope they remember the good work that some of the honest people of this country carried out there.
And ignore you idiots.

On one hand I laughed reading this thread (some funny responses). Yet on the other hand I'm amazed it's lasted! Not that that's a bad thing by the way...

They can't, how much aid has they been given to them since the 80's? And they are still begging for more, time they learned to fend for themselves.

If Ireland was in the same situation I wonder how much money we would receive from them. Fck all I imagine. So they can go fck themselves, plenty of worthy causes here in Ireland.

In the not to distant future, many African countries will become economic powers.

How do you reckon that then?

Iang87 · 25-08-2009 03:37AM

Dear Africa,

I thank you for your recent application for an increase in your overdraft facility. After conducting a thorough review of said application I regret that we are not currently in a position to progress with the proposed increase at this point in time. The main reasons informing this decision are outlined below:

1) Robert Mugabe is not a very nice man, please get rid of him.
2) We do not believe that the proposed number of machetes on order will all be used for agricultural purposes, please revise this accordingly.
3) We believe that you have under-estimated projected income from Somalian piracy ventures.
4) There is an outstanding issue involving aid workers in Darfur.
5) You appear to be still hogging all the decent long distance runners.
6) For social reasons we have an issue with continuing funding for your current female genital mutilation programme.
7) We are alarmed at the growing rate of HIV - please stop riding each other wantonly.
8) Our past investments have actually yielded a decrease in productivity.
9) Kofi Annan
10) Bono

We look forward to meeting again next year to discuss progress in the above areas. In the meantime, we would like to thank you for your continuing custom.

P.S. Due to prevailing, market driven funding issues, we are increasing your current interest rate.

Kind Regards,

The developed world

Merciful Lord Jesus, I am most sad to hear of the passing of youe uncle the prince of Ireland. Jesus be good that you have contacted me at this time.
I pray with Jesus that this business deal can be of advantage to us both.

I will sacrifice my most beloved goat to your uncles tribute, Most glorious jesus how do we start this transaction. I have opened a bank account and deposited 238 beads to help with the business deal.

In the hands of the most blessed jesus I await your reply.

If Ireland had never had a boom many Irish people would be insisting the UK give us money for the damage they did to our country's economically.

I can see where they are coming from looking for money but they should police themselves better.

Soldie · 25-08-2009 11:02AM

The West has one a prize from the very rich Africa. To unlock this jackpot, the West must send a once-off fee of $67bn.

book smarts · 25-08-2009 11:35AM

Most of that money will be deposited into African "leaders" Swiss bank accounts anyway

The first situation are roughly speaking, cross-trading, the second situation is a far too long excess of one way shoveled out revenue and little in return, even to themselves!

smellslikeshoes · 25-08-2009 12:14PM

In the grand scheme of things 67 billion dollars is sweet **** all. America is spending more than this in Iraq every year. Give it to them with conditions, eg. improve human rights, fair elections etc.

You have a source for that? Did Irish fishing waters really make up for the structural funds received from the EU over 20+ years?

Africa wants another like $67Billion per year.... I didn't make that number up.
