The current definition of poverty is if I remember, an income of half the national wage.
As wages rise and we get wealthier, so do the those defined as poor change.

Not third World poverty, that is grim.

Define "poverty" please

Gecko, I'm of the same view, it feels like the cartoon character has gone over the cliff and the legs are thrashing just before it plummets to the ground. The 90's were bad, this feels like it's going to be worse.

Nick100, interesting article. As he says any slump is already priced into the share price and like we know plenty has been set aside for that eventuality and property will be reclaimed on defaults to make a lot back. So, if a big slump doesnt happen then Lloy looks very good for a sizeable rebound.

Banking crisis and the rest Lefrene.

It's fat lady singing and tin hats time.

Going to be far worse than 2007-2008 financial crisis. Far far worse.

People seem oblivious.

goldie40, I believe it's all about reducing risk at a time when the world is in the biggest (hidden) banking crisis of all time. The real slump has yet to arrive.

Yesterday Biden warned UK that unless they prevented a hard border in Ireland, to Americas satisfaction there would be no trade deal.

Munchin warned recently that if we tried to tax American digital companies we would be punished.

Trump warned us and ordered us to strip out our Chinese 5g kit, or else.

When will you Brexiteers learn that Brexit will mean that we shall lose control.
Key decisions will be made in the White House.

We helped negotiate the rules of the EU.and could veto any we did not like.

Subject: : Japanese Doctor's Advice




Love this Japanese Doctor!


Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Fruit very good. Brandy distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Grain good too. Bottom up!


Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...good!


Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad?


Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!


Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me.


Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is shape!

Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

AND......

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
