Occasionally when talking about global poverty in Scotland, I am confronted with<div>'there is no poverty in Scotland' statement (people have social problems but social security sees to most needs, in the absence of income)</div>
<div><br></div><div>i wonder if either way, poverty is a matter of perception, and if people in general</div><div>could be better informed about the facts</div><div><br></div><div>I would be interested to open up the question, and tackle it from various angles, </div>
<div><br></div><div>Wonder if a TEDx event to coincide with TED Global in Edinburgh could be useful, to</div><div>devote proper attetion that get shoved under the carpet, despite considerable</div><div>local, national and international investments</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ir someone is interested to collaborate on someting high profile, we may have an opportunity to dig up and expose hidden truths *whatever the BBC is not dealing with?</div><div><br></div><div>Ping me off list and lets talk at your convenience</div>
