    Top 1% workers, not top rich.

    Look, here’s a thing. 40% of all land in England is owned just by around 200 families. And they are laughing their arses off when they hear that peasants earning £181k per annum are rich.

      Top 1% of income from all sources which includes your 200 mega rich families. 1% of 70m people is 700k people. Of course the top 0.1% are way richer.

        No, these 200 families don’t have PAYE income at all. Man, you people are so ignorant… No wonder the rich play you like the fools.

          So? A lot of people dont have PAYE income, they still have income. What point are you trying to make? Are you trying to argue that £181k doesnt put you in the top 1%?

            People on PAYE are not rich.

            His point is the only really rich people are the fantastical ones in his mind and are cartoonishly rich instead of just real life rich cause it’s easier to draw a dividing line and come to an answer.

      If you’re earning that much money, you’ll pretty quickly end up in the 1% of net worth.

      And these people earn around 10x the typical household income.

        No, you won’t.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
