No, poverty is a choice made by a badly educated electorate who are being lied to by better offs, who are sharper, more able and more lucky and who consider this a legitimation of their position. To a very large extent, 'we' can feed the world, even the so called 'democratic' coutries could do a lot of 'good', but its electorate chooses not to. It chooses governments that protects their perceived interests. Now of all thing, the perceptions are most easiest to influence by those who are sharper, more able, more lucky. It influences by making believe that liberty is the highest value for a human. And the electorate believes it, and thus it sacrifies it's securities and rights so that those who are sharper, mpoe able and more lucky become even more lucky.

The laissez-fair regulation and obsession with the City of London pushed by Gordon Brown was a large part of the UK's exposure to the financial crisis, from which the UK is still to recover. The flattening growth he blames on the Tories can be dated right back to the errors he made as chancellor and PM. Not to mention the gold reserves he flogged off after announcing he was going to do so, and thereby depressing the price right before the sale. The Tories should have got their act together by now, but Brown blaming them for everything is like me crashing your car with my shit driving, then chastising the mechanics for not fixing it in time.

If I remember Prime Minister Brown sent millions of pounds to China just before he was ousted. China had a bigger economy and space ambitions than the UK. What about our poor, hungry children then? They needed the tax payers money you sent to China. The reason you gave for sending it? Well the lower classes in China need it. We needed it for our own (all nationalities) poor. It is such acts that ensure I will never vote Labour again.

weak post. Sold gold reserves. Got decent price. that helped with economic recovery. Thatcher never held to account for North Sea oil (Thatcher blew the oil windfall). Gold reserves sale was positive due to historic under-performing. It was paying no dividends to the Exchequer. It meant that national debt could be reduced by 20% and keep repayment interest rates down.
