I CAN assure Messrs Urie and Greenhaigh that my claim regarding the actual cause of world poverty is in fact correct.
If they click on to the Transnational Institute website tni.org/ they will find a video by Prof Philip McMichael entitled “The Causes of The Global Food Crisis.” There is also a study paper by Prof Thomas Fritz, which explains in depth the role western multinational companies, global elites and their institutions play in creating poverty in developing countries. It would be beneficial if they actually did some research before stating their erroneous views. (Oh, and I live in social housing not in a “castle in Llanyravon.”)
