The G8 summit is scheduled for a few weeks in sunny Scotland. World poverty will be high on the agenda and true to his word, Mr. Gordon Brown the British chancellor has called for the following:
The doubling of European aid by 2010 - OK this bit doesn't include you guys.
100% debt relief
The cancelling of many trade subsidies that work against poor nations
It would appear that Pres. Bush is against such proposals because it doesn't fit in with the American budget. - Well excuse me - next time a shoe shine boy asks me for money I'll be able to tell him that unfortunately I didn't budget for the expense.
Come on - have a moan at someone pleeeease - It's only money after all.
Mr Brown said "This is not a time for timidity nor a time to fear reaching too high".

Then do me a favour and have a moan about it with one of your friends, they'll tell their friends etc. etc. Soon you'll all know what the rest of the rich nations are saying.
Debt cancellation will bring medical aid and education - what's the problem?
