I'm not sure we are as poor as you are making out. For example, on average, each household in Britain spends (

£10 per week on booze and fags
£52 per week on recreation and culture
£29 per week on restaurants and hotels
Isn't it worth cutting back a bit on some of the above, and helping out families who are living in the open without food or fresh water? Or children dying from malaria?
Think about it the next time you have a take away fish and chips.
