As I've said before, there is no poverty in this country. That's what the govt thinks, anyway. The govt sees people with mobile phones, flatscreen tvs, family car, satellite/cable subscription, computer/laptop/tablet, gymn/sportsclub season ticket, foreign holidays, regular consumers of alcohol/cigarettes. Maybe not so much cigarettes, but definitely alcohol, which is more harmful than anything but is promoted and encouraged nationally. Not to mention all the recreational drugs too.
What poverty?
