I believe your statement can be 100% true without affecting the truth of the parents statement. It's possible for a government to charge high taxes and have high social spending while also funneling larger and larger amounts from the poor to the rich through regulations and government agencies that favor and act for the interests of the rich.

what are the rich anyway. UK average citizen is in the top 95 percentile in global wealth.

there are no poor in UK, just wasted opportunities.

if you want to listen how massive inequality is created in UK, start by looking at immigration

You will find inequality growing in Japan and South Korea where there’s very low immigration. How do you explain this?
