LONDON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Britain will committ 665 million pounds ($1.08 billion) in aid to help Pakistan stabilise its violent border areas and tackle the underlying causes of extremism, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Friday.

Brown confirmed the funding in a meeting with Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari, who emphasised the need to upgrade Pakistan's capability to fight militants.

Britain has some 9,000 troops fighting the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan and says that three quarters of terrorist plots against it have their roots in the region.

In their meeting, the two leaders discussed efforts to boost economic activity in Pakistan and moves to get more Pakistani goods into European Union markets. The return of illegal immigrants living in Britain and Pakistan's relations with India were also discussed.

Britain and Pakistan in May pledged closer cooperation on counter-terrorism and economic development.

Britain said it will help Pakistan in the education sector by providing textbooks for school children in the border areas of Pakistan and support 300,000 girls from poor families to attend secondary school.

Britain and the United States have both adopted a new approach to Afghanistan and Pakistan, focusing on tackling al Qaeda and Taliban militants on both sides of the border.

:censored Why is this man's head not on a spike?

They have enough money to send to the Pakis to ensure they are nice and safe whilst the people of England and the rest all have to make do. What about our underfunded health services? Education? etc.., Mr McBroooon?

with this in mind:
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money to spend.",

mister brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_brown) is currying favor
with future "english" voters

and lining up more doctors and nurses
for the national health service

which over the past decade has grown
in to the third largest employer on the planet,

but, with more administrators than doctors -
drastic action is required to remedy current staff shortages
(hence, the trip to pakistan
and other third world exporters of labour/voters).

the ponzi scheme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme) nature of socialism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism)
requires an asymptotic influx of immigrants.

With over 6 million people unemployed and a current policy of not providing funding to local work schemes and future cutbacks proposed, Mister Brown is sowing the seeds of his very own destruction, regardless of which 'ism' it is.

If this £665 million was securely invested into re-boosting apprenticeships, part time college schemes, etc.., the reliance upon foreign imported workers would cease to exist within 5 years.
