Wait to see what it is after they change the statistics back. They'll have really screwed it up then.

Interesting that the number claiming job seekers has actually reduced by 26k...to 1.5million....suggesting (as we all know) that people who've paid their way in tazes over the years get absolutely fk all help when they lose their jobs, a whole million of them!

And the number of people who are of working age population who DONT work, due to long term sickness, disability or early retirement has increased to 8.5mil. 8.5mil! I'd love to know who many (or how few) are in the early retirement column, and how many of them took early retirement for medical reasons.

Will they alter the way they produced, could be a frightening result, this made me chuckle economically inactive:

There was also a rise in the number of people classed as economically inactive - those out of work and not seeking work. They rose by almost 100,000 to a record total of just under 8.2 million.

You can laugh, but mark my words, the Liebour Party will soon start to explain how all these issues were either the fault of Thatcher or the fault of the ConLib Coalition........ They just need a quick bit of smearing each other to win power before moving on to smear the Govt.
