Daily Mail (Included / Excluded) : UK households suffer sharp fall in wealth amid global turmoil
Working class is framed as economically marginalized and excluded from resilience
While the article claims the wealth drop is across income groups, it emphasizes vulnerability and insecurity without highlighting coping strategies or policy support. The omission of property and pensions from the measure disproportionately affects working-class assets, yet this is not acknowledged.
“Every income level is showing a drop and showing that people are feeling less resilient.”

Implicitly associates reckless violence with a disreputable social type
