Poverty Safari: Understanding the Anger of Britain's Underclass - Darren McGarvey

It is genuinely excellent.

Point 2 (less serious but still a bit serious): £18.50 for a Margherita??? I'd have told Pronto Pizza to get off my ****ing doorstep!! Like a fully loaded pizza with all the meaty trimmings MAYBE, but cheese and tomato? I'd have called the police and told them there was a daylight burglar at my door.
