“You've got a good point there B.H.Harry, but I doubt these devious so and so's would be willing to give an explanation. Not when that would have to include their policy to falsify unemployment figures.
They've even introduced legislation in parliament so they can do this with the backing of law.
Just how many 100's of 1,000's does this keep permanently knocked off the figures?

“When were the figures calculated? Is this due to the end of seasonal jobs which would have reduced the figures for the Xmas period? Bare statistics don't have a lot of use without an explanation.”
