This picture was taken in a quiet neighborhood in Hackney, East London. It shows a clear divide between the upper and lower classes,and illustrates the split between the two sections of society within London. On the right we see a cobbled, bumpy brick road, old uneven pavement, and a dash of graffiti on the abandoned garage door. While right opposite is a smoothly paved entrance to a neighborhood with newly built houses, a Bentley parked right on the edge. It portrays the reality in which we live in, how those suffering in extreme poverty are living side by side with those on the opposite end of the socio-economic spectrum. We may never know what lies beyond each side, but it just puts into perspective the extent of social inequality in the UK. While many are suffering just to get through the day, and provide for their families, we see the politicians eating into the pockets of the elite 1%, paving the way for their own future careers and furthering their own interests. To make significant change in society, we need MPs who are able to represent the working class and the majority of people properly, which is certainly NOT happening, with the number of MPs who have actually experienced work outside politics decreasing, and 1/3 of them privately educated.
