Tories to tackle global poverty

Short on detail but I think it is potentially significant that the party of the right in Britain looks as if it is shaping up to be serious about issues of poverty in the world at large.

Let's hope it marks serious thinking about development that isn't just about making markets and arrangements both to sell British stuff [usually airms] and will take seriously that facts about cash flows between nations particularly in relation to historic debt. If that happens then perhaps a sufficient consensus can come about on world poverty in Britain for some serious and holistically helpful interventions by UK Gov.Ananova - Tories to tackle global poverty
