While the Tory government is discussing extremism, social inequality and poverty have reached unprecedented levels in Britain.
Watch my film for @Weltspiegel_ARD on how more and more Brits are fighting to survive, while noone in Westminster seems to care. 👇👇
Is this just up North though? I walked through the backstreets of central London a few weeks ago and it did not seem worse than 2017; perhaps a bit more uncollected rubbish. But so many new shiny houses; and gucci bags being paraded. Income / wealth inequality at its height…
Excellent, though extremely sad report. I remember there being so much poverty in the mid-90s, and last summer, for the first time in three decades, I thought, woah, this seems even worse than it was then. It's palpable in the streets.
