Robin Hood tax







Robin Hood tax for the rich

Quite a lot according to the latest number crunchers at the Institute for Fiscal Studies

As we can see from the charts above from the Independent, Financial Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, all sourced from the IFS, that the three consecutive Labour governments have redistributed our wealth, from the very rich, to the very poor

At the Telegraph, the hardest part of the chart was choosing the right terminology

Transforming data into information, hard wonk speak into words that you and I can understand

Which infographic right?

I guess we should ask 'how much do I now know'

Local sources communicate to 'stringers' and provide information for our news desk

If the 'know' is reported to us as 'fact' then we have to rely on this information

Or contact the source direct
