Because he defines poverty as not starving...

I define poverty as being very poor., lacking basic essential such as somewhere safe to live, and regular meals. Nobody in the UK is, or should be, very poor. If you ask for help, you get given, for fuck all, 1/3 of the national average income. Remember we're the 5th or 6th biggest economy in the world. 1/3 the average is a large amount of money when compared to the global average income.

Not being able to afford the latest iPhone is not poverty. Other people getting richer doesn't make you poorer. You talk about wealth inequality like it's a bad thing. It's not. If you get a pay rise and I don't, then you have just done your bit to increase the wealth gap. You're getting paid more while I'm not. Well done, you probably deserve it.

I don't give a fuck if you deserve it or not. It's none of my business, and it's not making me poorer. And "deserve" is one of those super subjective words, like "fair".

If you get a pay rise because the boss likes you, then you deserve it because it's the boss who in this instance gets to decide who deserves what. His definition of "deserve" is what matters here.
