EPISODE 1 – GREED & AUSTERITY
Through 4 years of a coalition government, austerity has been forced on the country. In reality the cuts and savings are being directed at public services and benefits, which only affect the middle classes, the poor and the most in-need in our society. Yet the country’s debts and financial strains were directly caused by the practices of the wealthiest with the banks being the main culprits. The UK has an estimated £119 Billion deficit due to tax evasion. Are the rich getting away with murder at the expense of the poor? And how exactly does the economy work?
