[Rooster1]

[Levo-Lon]

That's only the one's who pay tax and have a NI number

No wonder the country is skint.

 

[Welsh wheels]

So pretty much all of the population in Britain eligible to work are unemployed. Man, things are bad. I must be the only person left with a job! I think it's time to emigrate.

 

[Dirk]

I blame the pensioners.

 

[Rooster1]

And there's more

 

[Markymark]

It includes northerners who either don't work or don't have proper jobs.

Remainers init? and imigrunts init? Init?

 

[Crackle]

Sorry I never saw the typo. I don't think those who reported it did either. @Rooster1 back to you.


....makes mental note to read things properly

 

[Spinney]

IS it a typo, though? It is talking about 32 million people IN work, not out of work.
The ONS also says around 32 million IN work.

...

Ah never mind.
but it's the start of the way things are going... gradually down hill.
But we wont be sticking out or legs and going 'weeee'. We'll be giving a thumbs down and going 'boooo' every time a Mod think they detect some politics going on.

Yep 32 Millions in work around 28-30 Million scroungers, what would we do without you

 

[Rooster1]

I was just reporting the typo. They have now massaged the article and the 32 MILLION OUT OF WORK is gone.

The latest version of the headline is better:

(although "UK workforce about the same as it was last month" would be more accurate, given the vagaries of collecting statistics.)
