Late last night the following notification went out to over 200,000 people who’ve signed a petition for the UK Government to more carefully check exactly what their foreign aid budget is being spent on.
This was the petition started by the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday after their huge exposure of the scandal of what happens to UK Foreign aid. The headline of their first big story centred around money that goes to convicted Palestinian terrorists and their families specifically for killing Jews in Israel.
That was followed one week later with a huge feature on Israellycool blogger and my good friend, Kay Wilson. It’s absolutely sure that her personal, British story had a big impact on public opinion and drove the petition up another 100,000 signatures that Sunday. All the facts and figures in the world can just slide by but a personal story about Kay and the two monsters who attacked her and killed Kristine Luken cannot be ignored.
It’s no small achievement by the readers of the Daily Mail to get a debate scheduled on this so quickly. Once the number of signatures passed 100,000 the Government had to respond: that didn’t stop the responses coming in and standing at over 220,000 right now.
