    Re #52 map. How come the Republic of Ireland, the country formerly(?) of huge deprivation, the country of Angela's Ashes poverty not that long ago, doesn't register in those poverty ratings? Is it because it falls into that dubiously phrased "selected EU member states"? Or could it be that poverty isn't measured in the way that the UK and those participating selected EU member states choose to measure it?

    Another question that one might ask is, given that the UK, Germany, France and Italy have economies largest enough to be in the top 10 world economies, why is poverty a factor in these countries? Poverty, I might suggest, is a willful choice and not an accident - just like praising the emergency services for their professionalism at Grenfell then, within a fortnight, refusing to remove their 1% per annum pay cap.
