    People expected unemployment to be 1.2 trillion then? She must have been taught maths by her husband. Or her boss. How depressing that these people are ruining, sorry running, the economy.

      I think she included the illegal aliens in that assessment.

      Not just illegal aliens from other countries, but the illegal aliens from other worlds as well.

    Lol! 400k allowing for a few ‘manipulations’ of the figures here and there. Remember, when you’re in power the figures can be spun anyway you want them, and as we all know nu-labour think of themselves as the masters of spin.

    Reality tells us the truth though and the people have their say on that in 6 months time!

    Any nice simple round number like £400K looks like headline grabbing nonsense, except when it applies to Ed and Yvette’s expenses.

    In which case billions are saved on unemployment benefits and the deficit comes tumbling down.

    Oh dear maybe not.
