UK now most unequal country in the West

I would rather stay in UK than anywhere else. Sure there is the inequality but the poor in UK are much &quot;richer&quot; then the poor in other countries used in example. And the rich are much richer then the rich elsewhere.<p>The main distinction is that if you decide you don&#x27;t want to be poor here, nothing stands in your way, while as elsewhere you may end up being stuck where you are ( due corruption, casts, discrimination, lack of opportunities etc. ) unless you emigrate.<p>( I am not UK born, I lived in 4 different countries UK is fourth. The previous ones include one of the top 5 with lowest inequality and I surely don&#x27;t want to live there )
