Tony Blair has ordered an increase in British aid by £25m for the Pakistan earthquake disaster as the Government warned the world it was in a "race against time" before the onset of winter costs more lives.

Have very noble. Shame our pensioners who are starving don't get the same bonanaza.

Oh and we all have to work longer for our pensions now too!

If at all, I'd rather be giving the money to Niger, where the government hasn't been spending their own money on nukes.

Have the FRENCH given anything yet, or are they classed as a poor EU country?
