Re: The £295m question: Why does the UK give aid to booming India? Just because their economy is booming, that doesn't mean there aren't people living in abject poverty and squalor. The British economy was booming throughout the nineteenth century but the quality of life and living standards of your average Briton were nothing short of atrocious and intolerable. The same applies to China and India today.

At last! King John was NOT actually a villain. The Chroniclers of the day lead an amazing smear campaign which has been perpetuated by Hollywood etc. In one account King John is accused of personally murdering a priest. Several years later the same man goes on to become Bishop of Ely. Not bad for a murder victim. It's about time someone stook up for him.
