I could post links to video clips of quiz shows where privileged citizens (public figures) of countries which owned very large parts of the world literally could not (exactly the case you point to, and much more - not even their own former and present colonies, not even after wars...).

So, while I agree with your statement (which I would not have written in those terms), do not underestimate the dire situation of societies.

You're quite correct, but as you point out, that doesn't make my statement false. If anything, it paints the GP as even more of a banal moron.
