One has to ask, "Cui bono"?
Harrington says:
"DFID has provided us solid support across a range of sectors - public sector governance, public finance, power, health, nutrition and education ...."Right, so the government's favoured corporations are given access to India's markets - banks, energy corporations, pharmaceuticals, "big" agricultural conglomerates like Monsanto and, no doubt, Capita's in there, somewhere. And we're paying for that access.
Tell me. How much tax will these multi-national corporations pay in the UK on the profits that they make, subsidised by the taxpayer?
Might any of the top DfID brass, civil servants / ministers be lined up or lining up for a job with these corporations? Shouldn't we be told, if so?
Incidentally, I posted a comment along these lines on his article at about 10:00 this morning. The comment was promptly deleted* by the "moderator" - presumably, Harrington.
I wonder why.

Auch Fausty, no need to wonder is there?
Nope, subrosa.
This cycle of corruption via privilege and access must be broken. It would seem, however, only violent protest can do it, I'm afraid to say.
That, or don;t pay taxes!
Yes, that silken cord must be broken, OR.
I fear that corporations have far too much power and must be cut down to size.
Globalisation, 'free trade' and the WTO are all about enabling corporations to take root in countries and then, take over - mostly via debt-enslavement, which is why fiat currencies are being foisted on the Arab nations, by pen or by bomb.
The solution, it seems is to take down the corporations. Don't buy their goods or services.
If each of us elects to withdraw our custom, individually, bit by bit from these monstrous entities, we can seriously dent their power. And that is precisely what needs to happen.
These corporations, via diktats from the UN, WTO and miriad others, make our laws, pervert our laws, divert our taxes to their coffers and diminish our democracy.
The act of a single ant in the antheap can make a difference; we all know what ants can do when they of like mind and purpose.
