Society/Culture UN body spends more on travel than AIDS, malaria

[medusala]

The UN (and charity sector in general) has long been a grotesque waste of money. Never ceased to be amazed at how utterly repugnant so many human rights campaigners are.

Would be interesting to see the amount of taxpayer $ that has been urinated against the wall on legal fees with respect to illegal immigrants. Oh but its all about "justice"

Taxpayers’ money is being used on first-class airline tickets and hotel accommodation for UN health leaders, documents have revealed.

The World Health Organisation spends about £153 million a year on travel compared with £55 million on fighting Aids and tuberculosis, and £47 million on malaria, according to internal documents.

Given up Habeas Corpus have you Meds? Or is it just a waste of money when applied to brown people. Always strikes me that modern conservatism seems to be about pulling down the institutions that you purport to respect, and conserve. Apart from marriage.

Does anyone know what an appropriate amount to spend on these overheads would be?

If you run a business that you want to succeed then you must remunerate appropriately to get the people with the talent and motivation to enable that.

Just the same, business look for savings and first class flights might be a start.

You seem rather confused Gough. It was Blair that got rid of habeus corpus. One wonders why you think i would be in favour of getting rid of it.

As for institutions, its the church that conservatives link to marriage not the state. Rather silly to think that any conservative would therefore support gay marriage by the state on the basis of respecting institutions.
