This is not 'poverty' this is the shame of having being the only one in your class still using a Nokia.
In the UK we are ALL living at a incredibly high standard of living.
Life is no longer nasty, brutish and short for the greater part of our population.
Do stop whining your Grace.
Why not try a bit of New Testament revelation and celebration as we head through Advent, rather than emulating 'lamentable' Jeremiah, sent by God to point out to Judah that it's all likely to go tits up tomorrow?

Have you been to a foodbank? Why not volunteer for a week and see how many people ship up and how many genuinely need it as a lifeline. Why are so many of them coming about now? That IS poverty. I believe I posted some Trussell Trust details before, what is it you disapprove of?
Will you be denying the Holocaust next?
I presume your raison d'etre is either to play devil's advocate with me or make me toil in the virtual-world like a 21st century Job avatar. Whatever your purpose, please lay off the disgusting denial of poverty - get informed (sincerely).
