See the size of the gap between rich and poor

Submitted by Kathryn Busby on 11 February 2010

Church Action on Poverty have produced a helpful new resource for anyone campaigning on inequality: a chart showing the scale of the gap between rich and poor in the UK.

Printed on sheets of A4, each sheet represents £100,000 of income. Symbols represent people on various income levels. It illustrates dramatically the gap between the UK's richest and poorest people. While 90% of the population only earn enough to get halfway up the first page, the very richest people are 30 pages away.
