"Numbers of Britain's rich falling at fastest rate, says report". O well, if you say so, but I'm sure what they have left will still be a tidy pile?

A new report shows how credit crunch has reduced the number of rich Britons by 26% to 362,000, the steepest decline in world trends including the US

The number of Britons who can call themselves rich has fallen at its fastest rate in more than a decade after the credit crunch laid waste to their fortunes.

o-O-o-O-o-O-o

I like that bit about the credit crunch, laying waste to their fortunes?

Awe what a shame, but of course we only have their word for that.

Anyway, I'm sure that the world's poor will join with me, as I shed a few tears for their, (the rich folks) misfortune?

Only kidding about the tears for the Rich folk, but I have to admit that I do sometimes shed a few tears for the general condition of suffering Humanity, because of the destruction, through poverty, war, and famine.

The fat cats only lose money, we lose our livelihood, and millions a lot more!

Must it ever be so?
