The British edition of the Daily Mail reports that against the backdrop of the consequences of anti-Russian sanctions by the end of next winter, the number of Britons below the absolute poverty line will soar to 22%. Their number will be about 14 million people.
The newspaper claims that these people will face a shortage not only of money for heating or electricity, but even for food. The most difficult, the Daile Mail predicts, will be retirees: the average pension in Britain is 10-11 thousand pounds a year, while utility bills will reach 7 thousand pounds in the coming winter.
“The winter for Britain and all of Europe will be very difficult – this is a fact. However, the question is what kind of crisis will follow after it – with a sharply impoverished population, inflation of 22%, the ruin of small businesses and a drop in tax revenues. Winter will eventually end, but this systemic economic crisis will only continue to worsen as spring approaches”.
