Just let that headline sink in for a moment. “The richest people in the UK have increased their wealth by 183% in 10 years.”
183%. One hundred and eighty-three per cent. Combined wealth in 2009 was £256 billion. Combined wealth in 2018 is £724 billion. Seven hundred and twenty four billion pounds.
They’ve made £468 billion in the ten years we have seen Nurses using food banks. They have made £468 million each in the ten years we have seen disabled people taking their own lives because their benefits have been cut. They made almost £47 million a year each in the ten years that has seen assaults involving a sharp instrument rise 15%.
How has that been allowed to happen?
