Oxfam says UK's top 1% took quarter of all new wealth over past 15 years
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/mar/14/oxfam-uk-1-percent-quarter-new-wealth-15-years
This article is about reporting how 1% of people in the UK, which is about 600,000, has taken up a quarter of the wealth for 15 years. Which has resulted in about 3.7 million each over 15 years. The article uses many quotes from people who are a part of Oxfam and understand the situation, such as the chief executive, who show a very clear opinion that this is not a good situation, this shows clearly how the Guardian feels, this aligns with their left wing view, where they are going to be more inclusive and think about everyone, they also put emphasis on the low 10% too, showing how much lower their standards of money are, its clear they want you to sympathize with them, such as saying things like "More people than ever are relying on food banks" The title of the article makes it clear to a reader why they should read it, saying the source of this information along with the shocking statistic. In my opinion I think the statistics they show prove how bad of a situation this is, and something should be done about it.
