Contrast ' There is no poverty in Britain today; if people are poor it's their own fault' with ' There's still a lot of poverty today, only.it's hidden; people are too complacent. They think they've never had it so good-they don't notice the poor.' Those are two conflicting opinions about contemporary Britain. Which of them more nearly reflects the truth?
