like the old saying goes no money for the people of your own country but plenty of money for war
Is that an old saying? I've never heard that one before
Gas and electric to rise again maybe ??
Yes especially in winter than in summer they make fool of us and put it down
I don't know how much 500 million pound will help Ukraine, but it sure as hell isn't helping us.
US is sending 64 B. Be humble.
For real. We shouldnt pay our nurses and doctors more but rather invest (money launder) into sending planes to rwanda and somehow having money for Ukraine
UK’s been on a steady decline for a long time now
It will mostly be largely in terms of valuation of the equipment, which is most likely at the end of its shelf life and would otherwise cost money to decommission.
But i am sure, it will do nothing.
Where is the 500 million aid package for the people of Britain?
The people who voted for Brexit thought they didn't need it.
I wonder if some white feathers said this in 1939? 🤔. Let's double it!! 🇺🇦👍
they dont actually give 500 mil over in cash. we give them old stuff and buy new stuff
@@SamFBMso who pays for the new stuff ?
They all just split the money amongst themselves abd than blame Muslims 😅
Ukraine has never helped UK or been a friend. UK should help UK people
Go and ask Boris Johnson
Hi putler how's that old ship?
If only Mr Putin shared your logic, then tens of thousands of people wouldn't have died in this stupid war. But he doesn't.
I can't think of any nation or people Ukrainians have ever helped.
The head of the Ukrainian security service has already admitted to organizing terrorist attacks on Russian territory (The head of the SBU, Malyuk, in an interview with ICTV, admitted to organizing terrorist attacks in Russia.); in fact, they are engaged in terrorism with the money of Western taxpayers
No budget for UK but alot for Ukraine
Yesss from a real brit 🙏👍🇺🇦
Great idea, send money to the most corrupt country in Europe, it's a joke.
For terrorism. The head of the Ukrainian security service has already admitted to organizing terrorist attacks on Russian territory (The head of the SBU, Malyuk, in an interview with ICTV, admitted to organizing terrorist attacks in Russia.); in fact, they are engaged in terrorism with the money of Western taxpayers
@@onestepbeyond5221 ‘rEaL bRit’ 😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
that 500 million could of gone to the NHS to clear uo waiting times.
aid....as in no money hahahaha
Nope, it couldn’t. Because they don’t send Ukraine brand new stuff. Most items they send are well used and would have been recycled soon anyway.
@@andrewwright. Not for ukr
@@yevhenhorilyy965 there is 6.2 Million waiting on NHS treatment in England and Wales. Give the NHS the aid package and that 4 million rounds of Ammo can put our waiting list down to 2.2 Million
@@Luciry123you actually think it works like that 😂
No wonder our tax's are going through the roof
isint that 10x the PIP bill?
Pip bill is huge!! I know somebody just been given 12k handout and a 28k nissan juke!! Its a joke
TORIES MAGIC MONEY TREE BEEN FOUND 😂
Bullingdon boris just happened to stumble over it whilst exiting a fridge
I just wsh the government cared this much about its own borders.
If Putin wins then tens of millions of refugees will enter the rest of Europe from Ukraine. And that will cost much more.
What the hell? This corruption needs to stop.
Give that 500 mil. to the nurses, doctors and drivers on the London Underground not to strike!
Tube drivers already get £65k a year to sit on their backsides and push a few buttons.
Meanwhile back in Uk still nothing being done to help our own without decent rooms to live in. Britain first....
Yet another reason the Tories are toast. This is disgusting.
Always great to hear what the foreigners who have never stepped foot in the nation think of the leader.
Where was Starmer and the supposedly other 'opposition parties' opposing this? Same arse different cheeks all pushing the same agenda.
It'll be the same with Labour, but with more spending, rainbow flags and dei nonsense.
It is so epic: Sanctions didn’t work. Billions in weapons didn’t work. Unwavering support didn’t work. Counter-offensive didn’t work. Non-stop propaganda didn’t work. Rules-based terrorism is all they have left. It won’t work either. It just shows how evil and desperate they are.
I agree, but the lunatics on the BBC comment section won't agree.
I don't remember the government asking me how to spend my hard earned money
It amounts to no sick pay for Brits 😮
How did your brain possible fart that out?
@@burns281981💩💩💩💩💩
@@burns281981these bots and shills are going into meltdown because they know a storm is coming! 😎
Brits are forgetting how they relied on outside help in 40s.
that money should be for the poor not war!!!!!!!!!
So just let Russia take Ukraine then? (and then Moldova, Romania, Estonia, Belarus, Lithuania, Poland - congratulations - the border is now 1/3rd it's original length)
Прости, Иван.

@@petef15 Russia is only interested in the US puppet aka Ukraine
Not my problem. The erosion of our living standards and the amount of homeless on our streets is. I am not concerned with Ukraine. I am concerned with our standards of living, and everything that goes with that. And don't bother calling me a russian bod. I really, really don't care who wins and who doesn't win. Iam British, and I don't have dog in this race. But I know that my utility bills and my shopping bills have gone up for no good reason @petef15
@@petef15 who cares if they do? let russia do what it wants and let our government look after our own first
Once again taxpayers paying for wars while we struggle to pay our taxes! Cheers
Wrong! they don’t send Ukraine brand new stuff. Most items they send are well used and would have been recycled soon anyway. Keep paying taxes and don’t worry
@@yevhenhorilyy965 What does a £500m aid package mean?

Someones making ££££ Money , and , probably , A Tory party Donor
They don't have long.
I was surprised to hear Ukrainians are returning to Ukrain to access decent health services because UK waiting times are so long.
even the degraded remnants of Soviet medicine are better than today's British healthcare system.
Then don't drink, smoke, ride motor bikes and exercise more.
Sure, 500m taxpayer money laundered
plus the money pit tp rwanda and the zionists
500 million will go nowhere, couple of months and Ukraine will be back to congress for more aid if they last that long.
Their last big waste of money before Sunak gets evicted. 500 million. That should have been spent on the NHS or the homeless. I am so sick of both our government and the beggar of Kiev
Has nothing to do with NHS money.
@@yevhenhorilyy965 It has everything to do with the NHS, and everything else. If our unelected PM squanders tax money on projects that have nothing to do with us, then that money is gone, and not available for the things that matter, for example the NHS or our homelessness crisis, or the attack on our standards of living. Some damn civil war a continent away is not, nor should it be, our concern. Let's put British people first. Besides, it's bad business. The beggar of Kiev will not, nor can he, pay back all the money he has scavenged of the world and his wife. Never!!
500 million for 500000 dead people, Average age of Ukraine soldier now 50,add pregnant ladies and mentally ill individuals.looking good Rishi

Hands off the U.K.’s hard earned Taxpayer’s money. This mad figure is URGENTLY NEEDED HERE AT HOME. Let other countries pay up
....peace sooner than later....to stop spending..........✌️
He won’t be here long so he can promise what ever he wants
This is cross party assistance. It is irrelevant who is in power.
What's this with the " glide " bombs doing so much damage. One county is using 2000kg bombs and is leveling entire city blocks in densely populated area ( and they are not "glide " bombs )
No money for the british and yet we have money for war 😂 absolute joke
Hypocrite people and media. First of all britain and USA shouldnt take nuclear arsenal from ukraine in 1993 and second they shouldnt use ukraine as a weapon against russia and no .3 ukraine it is a made country that took territories from Hungary , Poland and Romania.
Hungary Romania and Poland do not care Trollski.
The nuclear weapons were given up by Ukraine in return for support if Ukraine needed it. Are they getting it?
I thought Russia had the nuclear weapons.
Ukraine never possessed a nuclear arsenal - the nuclear arsenal belonged to the USSR and was controlled by Moscow. Missiles with nuclear warheads were also in Kazakhstan, the Baltic States, Central Asia and the Caucasian republics! The USA and the British insisted that the Russian Federation collect its arsenal because the others did not have the knowledge and the ability to maintain it and were afraid that it would fall into terrorist organizations! Ukraine could not even build a cartridge factory in 30 years.
@@nickzak9163 These were Soviet nuclear weapons that were controlled, owned by Moscow, just as American nuclear weapons are now in the EU, completely controlled by the Americans, and owned by the Americans.
Is the PM going to give a package to sort out umpteen things in this country, at some time ?
lol over 20k views and only 320 likes. MSM are dead
Its right to help Ukraine .. To many people only think of themselves..there's much more than 500 million wasted through corruption and incompetence ..

An 'aid package' with my money, against my will! 👎
A new pair of diamond earrings for Olena Zelensky maybe, as her people suffer ?
Or two more luxury villas in France.
Stop spewing Kremlin nonsense, bot.
@@Xenomorphine NAFO 77ths & ukrobots should have learned to read the room by now 😂
It will help in the short term. But depends what will be sent and when. If nothing is available.
Doctors ask for a pay rise and we have no money, so where does this £500m come from? Never gets explained.
They've awoken a sleeping great bear from it's slumbers (that is angry as hell with all the piggy's) and now a sleeping dragon is being poked. The scorching.
Russian trolls don't like this trick.
I wonder how much of that will be going out the back door?, not one of them calling for peace talks.
Zelenski will be offended and refuse that paltry sum......
It's theft of our hard earned tax
it’s at scale globalist money laundering
How about £500 , 000 being spent on our 3rd World Roads.
Zelensky needs 500k solders to replace the 30k that they lost.
The Russians, by the way, have already repaired the old road from Donetsk to Mariupol , road better than in London.
How about 5 billion instead. The Russian Fascism needs to be stopped.
@@efghggdxlmfn33for military purposes; Putin follows the old Roman Empire model when it comes to building and upgrading roads.
That could help Britain s school s
What is Military Aid - is UK giving the arms to Ukraine or is the UK sending Ukraine the arms and Ukraine has to repay the UK for those arms. If the latter then with the US & UK aid Ukraine is in a lot of debt ??
Think Ukraine just belongs to the us at this point
What a disgrace the money is needed here the uk
500,000,000 is not much. For the military? This will create new jobs for UK citizens but... it feels like it's missile a 0 in there.
and zelensky needs just 500k solders to replace the '30'k that he lost.
@@efghggdxlmfn33 We don't know how many were lost because that is not public information and we, the allies, are not reporting it either even though we have open source information just like we do for the dead, wounded, MIA Russian invaders.

Hyper inflation coming soon and they will still blame liz lol the worst part is some people believe it
i cant believe ppl still believe the fake stream media
They'll blame the poor, like they did with the recession, even though it was caused by the banks and the rich.
Pensioners and disabled need that money
Write a petition to Putin

I don't think so is not the first time
Probably help bail out Lord Ashcroft from his dicey investments there.
The headline says Sunak announces 500 billion !
Never any war footage is there .........
Ffs taxpayers money for citizens of this country!!!!
The UK is a USA Province, it can not make Independent decisions unfortunately. When the USA says they should pay , they jump and pay . They were dragged into Iraqi and Afghanistan wars because they can not make any Independent decisions. Shame
Ricky quite good at spending English people's money on other countries
he was trained well in financial crime during his time at Goldman $achs
I don't want to spend my money over there.
Just following orders!! Having said that....Labour would be doing the same, probably more!! WE are well and truley stitched to f..k up!!

Love Mick, great job.
Great work Heroes! 💙
Ukraine is NOT Russia
#PutinWarCriminal
Zelensky's Ukraine doesn’t allow free speech, a free press or elections, right
The U.S. gave over $60 billion. Is that the best the UK can do? What a bunch of Brokies.
Clark is so kool. 😎
a good job this is only one thing this government can do
If we don't spend the money helping Ukraine now, it will cost us far more later. If the democracies fund Ukraine well, they can beat Putin.
Stop paying taxes
Warmonger
Warmonger is Putin's middle name.
They decide to send hundreds of millions but don’t fix their own county
U cijelom svijetu mir mir mir mir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
...and whilst he's giving such sums to foreign countries, he has this country's most vulnerable in his crosshairs.
Fk the Ukraine mafia.
Let them fund the fights they pick themselves.
What does the UK get out of this VERY expensive arrangement?
We could billed new homes improved transportation create new job opportunities instead of a proxy war so that nato can expand and save Ukraine life !!
That s it Ukraine 1st Uk last is govt motto. More homeless more struggling cant live adequately .. cant heat cant eat...why is this givt backing Ukraine not it s own people 😢😢😢
Prolonging the war will cost more lives. Ultimately Ukraine will not win the war.
Nowhere man Ritchie Sunak and two chumps arrive in Warsaw.
Am sorry for the people of UK to have a such type of government ,,, I normally see UK people crying ....and now supporting wars stupidity ...okay let them send but Russia is not easy in return uk people will be suffering .

Slava Ukraini from IL 🇺🇸 to all the Russian bots, Enjoy your mobilization😂
Rawanda bill VS Ukraine £500m….
I'll summarise this comment section so nobody needs to scroll through it: "As a genuine britisher person myself, we need this monies to buy our british things like fishes and chips and not defy glorious leader putin"
500 million that could help the poorer BRITISH FAMILIES!!! HE will spend it on another yacht no doubt while MORE young Ukrainian men die for America!
No cash money has been given. Only military aid, mostly used items that are no longer in use by the British army.
Zelensky just needs more 500k solders to replace the 30k that he lost. And money for sure.
@@yevhenhorilyy965 🥴🤦🏽♂️🤡
It will swell the offshore accounts of Zelensky and his favourites.
compared to Putin's its very embracing
The US and Europe must keep giving unlimited money and arms to Ukraine for as long as it takes. For what exactly?
for covering Ze&Biden's crimes
I need some of that money.
People are dying due to late treatment because of Tories failure, more money going toward Ukraine, Palestine, Israel.
It could pay for uoti 5 missiles to stop 5 Iranian drones supplied to russia
Iran doesn't supply drones to Russia (they may have at one time). The Russians make their own under licence.
If old vincey was Ukraine I would spend it all on sweets
They should be paying Tommy Robinson's legal fees.
Stop the boats
Stop the boats
The only way the boats are going to stop and all the other nonsense going on this country is to put all the corrupt politicians on trial before the men and women of this country as their jurors and carry out the appropriate sentencing for treason, which is........?
So our tax money will go to their friends iin the weapons manfacturing?
PNAC PROXY WAR
PNAC PROXY PUPPETS
Good
it was a question .... so ?
MONEY LAUNDERING WILL NOW BE CALLED FOREIGN AID
USA gave a retirement amount for Zelensky. Britain gave cash to buy toilet paper.
It will help Ukraine pay salaries of Ukrainians government employees.
the irish govt just spent tens of thousands on importing ukronion ‘refugees’ pets 😂
Sticky Vicky had to quit, her project is going up sXXt creek.
USA gave 60b and UK only 0.5b? Please give away at least $10b of your taxpayers hard earned taxes
for direct military assistance, only less than 10b will remain. the rest is interest payments. BlackRock is happy
UK should give 70b because UK is in Europe.
@@user-kr4uv2jt1w military experts are already predicting that the loss of the Donetsk fortified area (and this is where everything is heading), which took 10 years to build, will lead to the uncontrolled advance of Russian troops and the loss of Ukraine’s entire left bank.
@@efghggdxlmfn33 UK needs more debts because of bad karma.
Unelected sunak throwing our money away on an unwinable war, whole UK infastructure falls apart.
So if $200 billion on game changing weapons, a failed offensive, the loss of 100s of thousands of Ukraines best soldiers, the loss of most of Ukraines air defence systems, and Russia gaining ground in Donestk. What is $60 billion more gonna do?
another boost for M.I.C. shareholders
Why do they hate Russia so much
Because Russia is sat on trillions upon trillions of minerals and resources and don't want to share, the west knows this and was hoping Pultin would of been ran out of Moscow by now to walk in and take what they want...
But now they've bit off abit more than they can chew and now entrenching their own people into poverty...
old historical British pain.
Another representative of the Conservative Party, T. Attwood, in an impassioned speech claimed that England had been subjected to unheard-of humiliation. Tomorrow the Russians will have fortresses in the Dardanelles, and it will take a million pounds to dislodge them from there. He ended his speech on a hysterical Russophobic note: “In a few years, these barbarians will learn to wield a sword, bayonet and musket with almost the same skill as civilized people.” The time has come to declare war on Russia, “in order to raise Persia against it, on the one hand, and Turkey on the other. Poland will not stand aside, and Russia will crumble like a clay pot.” Attwood was not alone in his anger; J. Temperley wrote about the “barking of the parliamentary pack.” [Since 1833, the ruling circles of England have been trying to achieve the cancellation of this treaty and weaken Russia's position in the East.'
