Inequality really needs addressing. Our "benefits" are very low for a country of our wealth, not enough to live on and a contributor to poverty. There are plenty of disabled people who will never be able to work which the government just halved their universal credit payment from today. The other side is people stuck out of work unable to get and keep work in places where there just isn't enough and we do extremely poorly at giving them opportunities and skills instead of just punishing them. The country needs a complete attitude adjustment or the situation is just going to get worse.

Hey, look over there: immigrants arriving in small boats, muslims praying in public, Prince Andrew, anti-semetism, trans people, pedos after your children...
... don't mind those people running off with bags filled with your money. They're billionaires and they're entitled to ransack the UK and hide it in offshore accounts. Nothing to see here... just keep your eyes on those Turkish barbers on your high street...

If you remove 1/4 of the populations jobs the uk is poor. No shit.
Places like australia and the us really cant understand what having almost all a nation within daily travel distance of a single city means.

I like that the image for poverty in the UK is a railway bridge in the rain, in black and white. We do have colour photography, sometimes.
replies:
Yes, Australia famously has no poverty.

Oh the shade thrown by the former convict colony. At least we got Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farrage, Boris Johnson and Prince Mountbatton on the way out.
