You have to remember that poverty is relative. Coming up for 200 years 
ago during the Irish famine. If you were one of the poor, having a metal 
spoon was a luxury. Now if you have not got Sky or cable you are 
deprived. I did not have a colour TV until the 1980's and no one thought 
that was poverty. Although we have had colour transmission since the 
late 70's.
As someone who has live through 40 years in the UK and then some. I 
think that you are misguided, if not just plain wrong. No matter what 
figures people come up with.
