The 5 charts that prove John Major is spot on when he bemoans the 'shocking' levels of inequality in Britain

The 5 charts that prove John Major is spot on when he bemoans the 'shocking' levels of inequality in Britain | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Sir John Major made an impassioned call for the rich to play a greater role in ending inequality in Britain on Tuesday night, admitting he had "failed" to tackle the "shocking situation" during his five years as Prime Minister.  He called for a "crusade to widen prosperity more equally," which he said would not only "ease hardship, it will build out national wealth and health".  Too many poor people "not only live meaner lives but shorter lives," he added.
