EU 'WASTES £12BN ON ARAB AID'
h/t Gates of Vienna
Researchers found cash pumped into North Africa and the Middle East by the European Union over the last 15 years to encourage "good governance" has made little impact.
Of course, it only a waste if you ignore two factors.
(a) The personal payments (consulting jobs, campaign contributions, etc...) from Arabs to their "friends"---not just in Europe.
(b) The pathological hatred that Europeans---not just the elites---have for Israel and, to a lesser extent, USA.
Britain has suddenly started demanding effectiveness from their foreign donations, so it's likely they, at least, will demand the same from their donations to the P.A.
