WORLDS APART Mums too poor to buy nappies, 200 rise in families using food banks – why Biden’s G7 heaven is hell for residents

WITH its private beach and £1,500-a-night rooms, Cornwall’s Carbis Bay hotel will host the world’s leaders at next month’s G7 summit.

But as Boris Johnson, Joe Biden, Angela Merkel and Co discuss cancelling Third World debt, they will be doing so in one of the poorest parts of Britain — where thousands struggle to feed their families or buy nappies for their babies...

...Operations manager Joyce Duffin, 47, from Camborne, added that many families face an “eat or heat” dilemma. She said: “They have to choose between paying the fuel meter or feeding their children.

“When you think about G7 leaders eating steak and seafood up the road, it’s hard to find the right words.”

anybody know about the plot to cancel third-world debt - again? How many times are we going to pay for China's projects in these countries through the back door of debt cancellation that does nothing to improve the world as a whole and, in fact, creates resentment?

The contrast in optics of the uber rich invading a seaside town surrounded in poverty to basically give money to foreign nations isn't going over well. Johnson (and the US) have been presented with an open door to walk through that would repay them politically in spades of goodwill, should the dire conditions of the mining villages around Cornwall be addressed, but it's doubtful either will take advantage of it. Imagine how we could improve our own countries, the same as China does, by refusing foreign aid to anyone save a few cherished allies and billing our costs for projects in foreign nations.

The founding fathers warned against foreign entanglements. No alliances or intervention in the affairs of other nations. Today’s federal government’s obsession with imposing “democracy” on other nations, using our military power and economic sanctions, would be considered tyranny by the founders.

The founding fathers believed “free trade” meant the freedom to trade with any nation, not an open market for foreign goods. In fact the US had high tariff rates through most of its history and a robust trade with other nations.

The founding fathers, in the Constitution, restricted the activities of the federal government to specifically defined and limited enumerated powers.

The founding fathers believed in sound money and balanced budgets.

The founding fathers opposed the income tax and disproportionate taxing. They funded the federal government with the high tariff.

The concept of the citizens of the US being taxed to pay the debts of foreign nations would have been unthinkable to the founders of this country.

By departing from the wisdom of the founders, in the conduct of foreign affairs, we reap the consequences. Much of the world hates us and a number of foreign powers wish harm on us.

One of England’s sporting events is watching seniors freeze to death because old folks can’t afford to pay the bills for heating.

The stumbling drunk Tony Blair racked up thousands of deaths, favoring a policy of bringing in curry chefs to England with taxpayer subsidies rather than giving old folks a few shillings to pay the heat bill.
