I AM rather intrigued by an item in the media, that Indian companies are now producing the cheapest solar panels and are looking for new export markets in order to expand their business and oust the Chinese from the American market!

Why on earth are we still providing large sums of money to their country when it is apparent they have no need for aid?

They now have a huge armed service, nuclear weapons and power plants so, why do successive governments continue the folly of shoving unneeded finance down their throats?

The same situation of course is also apparent with our aid to China, which is now the number two in world trade and is destined to overtake America in the very near future, to claim the number one spot.

Why do our politicians continue with this largesse when their own country is suffering with huge deficits, and is having to borrow money to finance this aid?
