UK halts Palestinian aid over ‘terror’ suspicions

The UK government has put on hold aid payments to Palestine over claims that the funds are ending up in the wrong hands.

Britain’s International Development Secretary Priti Patel brought to a halt a £25 million aid payment to the Palestinian Authority until an investigation about the distribution of the fund was completed, The Sun reported over the weekend.

“We are not stopping for the Palestinian Authority overall, just delaying it to a date when we know our money won’t be going to people who do nothing in return for it,” a source within the ministry told the paper.

The money is reportedly one-third of London’s total payments to the Palestinian Authority, which operates under President Mahmoud Abbas.

Wow....they're slow but they're waking up.  Trying to throw off the sluggishness and disease of socialism is no easy feat.  And maybe some day, even the USA will start to wake up and throw it off....instead of rushing headfirst towards that same chasm.  Hope springs.
