Common man lives unique life

The common man seems to have been a bit more confused as to what they should actually follow. Whether they should use a little less cooking oil or burn traditional diyas for the family's good.  Many people could deny that they are just consuming less mustard oil and avoid making a fast shift to other packaged refined oil in their everyday lives.  Therefore, consumption of usual cooking oil has already been reduced to a more considerable extent. Then, an appeal for a ten per cent reduction seems to have no impact at such a tender moment.  As regards burning a diya for at least two long hours, it is quite difficult in today's inflationary period. The small houses appear inconvenient for burning diyas in the intensely humid air.  What bothers the residents most is the smoke, soot and agonising smell that could force the households to remain farther from the house precincts. In some cases, dwellers leave the house to avoid intense smoke.  

'UK has fewer millionaires'



What concerns British analysts more is that there are fewer millionaires than at any time since the global financial crisis began. There were as many as 442,000 millionaires last year, as said. It is down 7% since the year 2024. 

It also shows the lowest level since the year 2008, when there were about 400,000, according to a millionaire tracker. 

Andrew Griffith said: Britain now has fewer millionaires to contribute to the tax pool to raise jobs and businesses. 

This exists due to declining real asset prices, a low household savings rate and the emigration of high-net-worth individuals.

Each millionaire means less money for the NHS or defence, higher taxes for working people, and fewer suitable jobs. We can’t make an economy on jealousy, hence.

One in six people and families did not appear in the 2026 rankings, with experts indicating more homegrown British billionaires relocating to regions such as Dubai and Monaco.

The fall in the number of millionaires may be lauded as a hit by some on the Left, but it should rather be regarded as an alarm signal. 

Every millionaire that leaves means less capital for British businesses, fewer international links, and weaker entrepreneurial spirit in the economy, as experts hint.

Lately mooted anti-wealth proposals, such as a wealth tax or balancing the capital gains tax rate with income tax, will only make the position additionally flawed.
