'they' said there would be 2 million unemployed by xmas, still not yet.. doom and gloom from the press and media..

...actually it is about 2.1 Million now, those stats only go up to December.....we've lost Woolworths in January, and a hell of a lot more....

Don't forget that this lot tends to "doctor" the figures to suit the situation....

A lot of the unemployed are shifted on another programme, forgot which one, and they don't appear on the main list as if of magic.....

Abracadabra.................
