In Britain, the rich are richer but the poor far poorer than in Europe

I don't really find this surprising at all. Isn't this why Brexit happened? Britain was flooded with poor from all over Europe looking a piece of the wealth for which Britain is famous. It's not surprising then that there is great divide between the richest and poorest.

It seems like the article implies that now that poor immigrants have been allowed into Britain, the people who built the wealthy society are now obligated to hand over all the wealth created to the new comers who didn't have anything to do with the creation of said wealth.

Poors are screwed doesn't matter if it's EU, UK or US or even Africa.

Only the magnitude of screwed differs.

I've come up with an idea that we should do a swap, where a rich person is allowed to be rich for 2 years then a poor person takes his place.

So the richest person swaps his place with the poorest one and vice versa.
