Rejected petition Make the Gap Between Rich & Poor the Eighth Wonder of the World

In 2011 The Onion published the following: “PARIS—At a press conference Tuesday, the World Heritage Committee officially recognized the Gap Between Rich and Poor as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," describing the global wealth divide as the "most colossal and enduring of mankind's creations."

"Of all the epic structures the human race has devised, none is more staggering or imposing […] It is a tremendous, millennia-old expanse that fills us with both wonder and humility […] And thanks to careful maintenance through the ages, this massive relic survives intact, instilling in each new generation a sense of awe,”” (The Onion, Issue 47-04, 24/01/2011).

Sadly the UK government has failed to recognise their responsibility for the Gap Between Rich and Poor, even though its very foundations lie within our borders. It’s time to take action. We call on the government to make the Gap Between Rich and Poor the Eighth Wonder of the World and give it the attention it deserves.
