some of the arrogance in this thread make me feel ashamed.
don simon, quite clearly there’s poverty in the uk, just because you do not choose to acknowledge it doesn’t mean it;s not here.
because there’s worse poverty elsewhere in the world the poverty here is in someway less valid.
i’lll leavee with this quote
“poverty can be seen as a sort of extreme and we have every right to overcome this and assure our physical comfort, On the other hand, too much luxery, pursuing excessive wealth is another extreme. Our ultimate aim in seeking more wealth is a sense of satisaction, of happiness. But the very basis of seeking more is a feeling of not having enough, a feeling of discontentment”.
