£15,500 for a mobile phone while 1 billion people are starving. The World has gone mad.

Yep, a bit crazy. One for the lottery winners or professional football player.

The prices, and the 'while people are starving' argument, are all a bit 'old news', aren't they?

I mean what about the scandal of £4000 TVs? Think how many people that money would provide with clean drinking water, etc.

About a quarter of what a £15,500 phone would buy???

No questioning your maths, but then the world's a bit like that. Take that argument to its ultimate, and none of us should have hi-fi systems, buy magazine, have computers to access the internet, etc, while there are those less well-off than we are.

Or we could have a totally equal world with all 7 billion of us starving for food every day.

I don't think that that would count as progress either.
