'According to an authoritative new survey by the Hurun Global Rich List, Britain now has an astonishing 56 sterling billionaires. London already boasts more than 30. ...... Around half of Britain's super-rich have come from abroad, attracted to the lifestyle, private schools and the rule of law. There is also less scrutiny of tax and general business affairs than in some jurisdictions.' (Daily Mail, 7 March) We trust such cheering news will enable you to cope better with your mortgage and rent arrears. RD
