The scale of Britain's growing inequality is revealed today by a report from a leading charity showing that the country's five richest families now own more wealth than the poorest 20% of the population.

First world problems.

 

You have no idea how lucky you are Andrew.

So there are people in Britain who are better off than you.

Well boo-hoo.

You are still better off than most of the he worlds population.

If it was distributed evenly around the world it wouldnt amount to much according to statistics but they vary widely

It's all relative. If you live in an area where average earnings are £25,000, and you earn £10,000, then you are poor in relation to those on the higher rate.

If you want to do comparisons on a global scale, then why not use the 5 families mentioned, and compare them with the number of houses they could buy in India, or even compare the 5 richest families in India with the poor over there?

 

I hate the "there's always someone worse of than you", saying. It doesn't make the person feel better, or solve the problems they have.
