Brown forgets about Poverty

Campaigners have expressed disappointment at the UK government's
decision last week not to withhold any World Bank funding over the
harmful conditions attached to debt relief. Despite the best efforts
of over 10,000 campaigners, Norway was the only country to withhold
any funds in protest at the World Bank's continuing practice of
forcing economic policies on poor countries. The UK had promised a
tough stance, but paid up in full.
