David Cameron reveals first world war centenary plans
guardian.co.uk — Prime minister says £50m will be spent on a series of events to mark key dates in the 1914-18 conflict
Does "Stop the War Coalition" oppose WW2 as well, I wonder?
"Stop the War Coalition" to issue statement tmrw: it is trying to stop WW1. (Opposing Govt commemorations starting 100th anniv July '14)
@peterjukes No, it hasn't. I suspect you might be looking at pre-tax data.

Dorling's figures for income inequality refer only to the top 1% & wealth inequality is nowhere near pre-WW2 levels blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/12/26/the…
The Egalitarian Coalition
blogs.independent.co.uk — I have a column in The Independent today with which some people do not agree. Which is interesting, because it is mostly factual, reporting two sets of figures that were published in June and July this year. They suggest that the gap between rich and poor has, if anything, narrowed under the Coalition Government.
Fear that truth has only just got its boots on about "Gatsby-esque levels" of UK inequality timworstall.com/2013/05/21/the… …
The thing is, this isn’t true
timworstall.com — In Britain and America, inequality is now back to Gatsby-esque levels. It isn't I'm afraid. Yes, I know, it makes a lovely complaint over on the left but it just isn't true. Market income inequality is up at pre-WWII levels, yes. Inequality of marketable wealth is (although the composition is wildly different).
