reported where?Sorry, I think the comparison is fatuous. I'm in South Carolina at the moment and, having toured a rice plantation yesterday, I'd say the slaves were worse off than the poorest in the UK at present.
Anyway, I'm off for a mint julep.

I believe the statistic springs from herehotterthanapileofcurry.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/londons-rich-poor-gap-widest-divide-since-the-days-of-slavery/
it's saying how rich the rich are, not how poor the poor are. I assume slavery is used as an example of rock bottom.

Slavery would give someone zero wealth, zero debtI'd guess that now, there are people with little wealth, significant debt (albeit with greater freedoms than slaves).
