    Someone should tell Gordon Brown.

      I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the New Lie spin machine was using when describing the number of people no longer in poverty under Labour.

        Bill Gates is the fat tail on the distribution curve.

        Besides the figure is incorrect anyway, there over a 100,000 people in India alone who earn more than 110K a year.

        I would say there are probably a few million people in the world who earn more than 110K a year.

          Usual pinko guff

          Totally meaningless comparison as illustrated by Polish labourers migrating and sleeping on the streets.

            Well, I beat all you lot.

            "You are the richest person in the world!"

            Apparently it's not about how much you have after all...

              I stuck in a quarter:

              "You're in the richest people in the world!"
              "I'm the 5,780,722,892 richest person on earth!"

              And they still ask me for donations! I was hoping they'd tell me how to get my share of you lot's donations!

              That still puts me above milan though!
