I understand that you feel concern for the poor people in UK Al, but unless one has been to some 'Third World' countries and seen the extremes of poverty, disease, suffering and literal starvation (children and adults) one can't appreciate the difference. 'Poor' here is not the same as 'poor' over there.

I agree with Jackaroodave that 'White Privilege' is a good watchword. I am constantly aware of how fortunate I am, and try in an admittedly limited way to help as much as I can. But I don't personally feel responsible for colonisation, exploitation or enslavement that took place without my involvement or complicity.
