‘We’re sponsoring Indian Moon launch’: Tories mad at £98mn aid package.
Tory MPs have branded UK plans to send £98 million to India in aid by 2020 as “truly idiotic” given the ex-British colony has not only splashed millions on its own space mission but is also itself a foreign aid donor. The UK has plans to send aid funds to India totaling £52 million (US$66.7mn) in 2018-19 and £46 million (US$59mn) in 2019-20.
According to the Brookings Institute, India’s poverty reduction rates are faster than in any other country, with 44 people being lifted from poverty every minute. Up to 71 million people, around five percent of the country’s population, however, are still extremely poor.
India also looks to catch up in the space race, spending the equivalent of £95.4 million on its moon landing program – the Chandrayaan-2 probe, which will seek to land a rover on the moon when it launches in January. Conservative MPs believe this means the country is too well-off to receive British aid. Tory MP for Monmouth David Davies told British newspaper the Daily Express that “the Indians don’t want or need our money. In effect we are sponsoring an Indian Moon launch.”

3. Jaguar (Tata, India) Jaguar | British Car Brands Jaguar was part of British Leyland until its privatisation in 1984. It was part of Ford’s Premier Automotive Group from 1990 until 2008, before being sold on to India’s Tata Motors.
4. Land Rover (Tata, India) Land Rover | British Car Brands Land Rover was purchased by Tata as part of the same deal to buy Jaguar from Ford in 2008, the total value, along with several other brands was £1.7billion.
HAHAHAHA Instead of putting a flag they will shit everywhere to mark it as they went to the moon. I'm okay with it. Mankind will know the indians as the first people that stepped (shitted) on the moon, since the last one was staged.
Bong here. As if I'm not ashamed of my country enough already, now we have to pay for some Indians to poo on the moon? We...we can't even pay for our own poverty crisis. We can't even protect our own citizens from foreign invaders and we have thousands of *known* terrorists/isis militants living among us.

Hey Bongs! Thank you for this kind gift!

It's not a manned mission. It'll either be a rover or a satellite

The Chandrayaan-2 will run using revolutionary pooclear fission of enriched Indian fecal matter

I don't think a single Indian scientist knows what 'scat' even means. That shit was invented by you guys when you were inventing all kinds of porn tastes.
