Football team wanted by Manchester Oxfam group

6 Mar 2015 - 10:20 by michelle.foster

A football team of 11 players committed to losing a match against a single player is wanted by Oxfam, despite your skills! Reason: your legs will be tied together with scarves.

The match will be used to make a short film to illustrate inequality, and how the huge majority of poor people in the UK and the world are disadvantaged in life by taxes, prices, low pay, for example, while the very few wealthy people get richer because of the power they wield.

The richest 85 people in the world own as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people. In the UK, the 5 richest families own as much as the 12.6 million poorest people.
