Third world people deserve better

A report on Department for International Development corruption does not find that it is corrupt - it is much more transparent than most departments with an "aid tracker" web site and a link to report corruption in any specific program you see tracked.

The same report says that its efforts to reduce corruption in countries where it works are muffled towards zero by political sensitivities. In other words, British taxpayers have to subsidise the people of whatever country that has poor people in it, but British politicians will not offend the rich people who live in that same country and extort money or run it badly or do bad things.
