Misery for the residents of towns swamped by flooding - but Britain still sends £1BILLION in aid to the world's most corrupt nations [see No. 20]

York drowns in the tide of filthy floodwater that has devastated swathes of the North. The scenes of misery across Yorkshire and Lancashire triggered outrage last night over Britain sqaundering cash on foreign aid. Residents asked why they had been told there was no money for local flood defences when £12billion a year is spent on overseas aid - including, it emerged yesterday, £1billion to the 20 most corrupt nations.
