I presume you understand the meaning of the term "emotive" - do you really think it is accurate to state that because I earn £80k a year less than my friend, I am poorer? I may not be as well off, but "poorer"?

(4 bed house in a upmarket suburb, two cars, a couple of holidays a year, two kids at Uni - must be a new definition of "lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society" I hadn't come across before.....)
