It's more common than you think

Well I’ve been to a lot of poor countries

The money and effort do go further than you think

Local economies have been ravaged by international aid stunting the ability for a local economy to emerge

I also find it incredibly condescending to think it's our duty as a first world nation to "help" "less privileged" countries than ourselves

Not sure why you think that way

Go to Cambodia and Vietnam, my mom’s friend is building schools there for the orphans, how is that condescending at the slightest

There’s definitely cunty moves done by charities too, but it’s stretching it to say all manners of charity are bad

That's a different thing altogether.

I'm assuming that the orphanage is part of a church as well, and internationally organized. So they showed initiative to build one, reached out for assistance, and are most likely helping in it's construction.

Also, Vietnam is an industrializing nation, so that helps.

We're talking about sub-Saharan Africa. It's likely that no one asked for the aid, or that they show any initiative to take on the responsibility of continuing the process they learned or acquired from the organization.

It's a case of asking for assistance on how to fish, versus "GIBS ME DAT FISH!"

My unit built a school in the Philippines. Most of the work was done by locals, and they needed assistance in the engineering process.

They actually taught OUR guys a thing or two about curing concrete in a high humidity environment.

Like that would have happened in Africa.

Now that would be sweet

That's exactly what a fascist would do

The inherent racism in this whole conversation is hilarious

cus Lammy is the biggest Racist ever

he literally cannot say anything without it being to do with race

so either we deport him to the USA or we hold him to his own standards

cus that shit doesn't wash in the UK

Yeah, but aren't you being a bit racist by conflating him with Africans?

no no no send him to Canada

we have enough of that

I say Mexico. just for the lolz

The phrase in that meme is a reference to the African aid argument earlier.

But the image is about the Labour party.

By conflating them, you're implying that mixed race politics in the UK is the same as international geopolitics

Which is pretty racist

"Oh, he doesn't want Britons giving aid to Africa. So that means he, as a black man, shouldn't accept aid from whites here in England"

For the record his parents are from here he was born in North London
