mirror.co.uk - Tons of British aid donated to help Hurricane Katrina victims to be BURNED by Americans
From Ryan Parry, US Correspondent in New York
HUNDREDS of tons of British food aid shipped to America for starving Hurricane Katrina survivors is to be burned.
US red tape is stopping it from reaching hungry evacuees.
Instead tons of the badly needed Nato ration packs, the same as those eaten by British troops in Iraq, has been condemned as unfit for human consumption.
And unless the bureaucratic mess is cleared up soon it could be sent for incineration.
Way to piss off our allies and make them question helping us out the next time a disaster strikes. This is absolutely disgusting. Sadly, it is all too common and is to be expected when dealing with a large government bureaucracy.
I have to ask to those who support single payer socialist health care: you want these people in control of your health care? Are you nuts?
