  The flawed thinking Mark is in the so called relative poverty that exaggerates the poverty figures. There will always be the relative poor, some people will simply never make something of themselves no-matter what anyone else does to 'help' them. What is important is to ensure there are opportunities so no-one is locked into poverty who has the determination to lift themselves from it. Only too often the policies promoted by many particularly left wing politicians, specially those policies related to 'relative poverty', just help lock people into low incomes and state dependency. As I have already said relative poverty, as a concept, is also an insult to the many all over the world as well as our own predecessors who really do or have suffered real poverty.
  
  Real poverty is rare in this country which is not to say it does not exist. The main cause of real financial poverty in this country is more a 'poverty of spirit' that infects far too many people for whatever reason.
