@npub1g0t…tvm4 I read it as more than £112.5k per annum gets you into the global 1%

It looks like if you own a house you are in the top 10% of the wealthiest people on Earth.
A net worth of $93,170 U.S. is enough to make you richer than 90 percent of people around the world, Credit Suisse reports. The institute defines net worth, or “wealth,” as “the value of financial assets plus real assets (principally housing) owned by households, minus their debts.”

The Kindertransport was an organised rescue effort of children from Nazi controlled territory that took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 children. The programme was supported, publicised, and encouraged by the British government.
How have we come from this to Suella Braverman’s Bill to label child refugees criminals, and hold them in detention until they can be deported at age 18?
