A bloke's house burns down and they refer to him as a millionnaire. Would they print 'skint bloke' house burns down. I never got this aspect of reporting, whats his bank balance got to do with anything?

Not a lot of use to him if he and his family have burnt to death as reported.

It's much the same as them saying "Polish family in fire tragedy" innit.
