@kittee The UK is rich but a large and significant fraction of the population is not. There are a lot of complaints in the UK about prices of food going up. But the real problem is that the poor simply don't have enough money. According to Wikipedia the poorest ten percent of the population has only one thirteenth of the income of the richest ten percent (and a Gini index after tax of 0.355). In Norway the poorest have one sixth of the income of the richest ten percent (Gini index after tax 0.263).

It's not that the country is too poor but that the income of the country is not being wisely spent.
