British foreign secretary William Hague has announced that UK taxpayers will increase foreign aid to Pakistan to £665 million as leaked Afghanistan war documents revealed that the Taliban is controlled and funded by the Pakistani government.

The utterly twisted priorities of David Cameron’s ConDem government have been well-illustrated once again with the announcement that £67 million more is to be spent countering roadside bombs in Afghanistan — when the obvious solution is for Britain to leave this pointless £5 billion-a-year war completely.
