    I Think the estimate is Low more like 30 Million about 75% of the Population are Poor, it seems its the Only Growth Industry Argentina has.

    Some 14,5 million Britons, 22% of the population live in poverty, with prospects of worse times ahead...

    - I Think the above estimate is quite low because this Engrish analysis is from 2019..., prior to COVID19...
    - More like 20/25 million..., about 30/35% of Little Britain's population are mosl likely poor today..., it seems that..., considering the upcoming No Deal Brexit..., poverty is the only Growth Area the (Dis)UK soon will have left...

    Caro Think,
    Even if it's always poverty, the facts show that two cents of the British pocket are worth more than the Argentine cents in the same pocket.... Capisce ???

    Well...
    NOPE...!

    But..., if you THINK that it is meassured incorrectly here..., why are you wasting your time here...

    2 Think....
    Who knows if “Anglo Turnip” it's a flattering title !!!
    With all my respect..I don't know which is more turnip here, maybe you who live in a bubble that don't you know which red or blue pill you have taken from Peronia Matrix
    In any case, clarifying a concept is never wasting time.
    I hope if you “capisce”

    Ahhhhh....

    Them Anglo Turnips are soooo foreseeable...They always follow their A B C...:

    A) They luuuuuuuuu to crow haughtily over Foreign Miseries...
    B) When presented with their own Domestic Miseries..., they get disoriented...
    C)Their typical Anglo riposte being..: “Our Pound of Feathers ain't as heavy as your Pound of Lead...”

    Capisce...?

    2 Mr. Think....
    mmmm .... let's try the letter game ?? Always with all my respect ...
    A) With the Anglo subsidy, a poor British person could live in Argentina without being poor.
    B) With the subsidy (IFE) a poor Argentine could be worse off in the whole planet
    C) .... “C” as Capisce ????

    What a brilliant Anglo Brutish Turnip Idea...!

    * Giving your subsidized tired..., your poor..., your huddled masses yearning to breathe wealth..., to them warm, dark foreign... **“Shithole Nations”...

    ** (Recent quote from Anglo President Donald Trump...)

    Jupppppppppp...

    I'm flattering the Chutzpah of those “Proud Engrish Turnip Boys” in here..., defending to the last drop of (other people's) blood..., the indeclinable human rights of some 3,000 Malvinas/Falkland Islanders whilst at the same time applauding the construction of wave machines in the Channel to sink thousands of migrants in their small boats...

    Capisce...?

    Ahhh, “European Baby Eating Illuminati Technocrats” orchestrating it so them stinking murderous Kurepi, Argy Squatter Planter Bastards, stay poor then.

    I sense the hand of the Engrish Pirates at work here!

    OK, everything as it should be.

    It's remarkable that a regular contributor — using the identity “Terence Hill” has been involved in constant troll like activity — to harass other contributors at this news site designed for the civil interchange of information and debate. Recently, I found out the actual identity Terence Hill and politely warned him that I would share if he did not cease his troll antisocial activity.

    Terence Hill did not, and therefore I share his sad lifestyle:
