A kind soul has been educating me. Apparently unemployment figures traditionally fall in the first quarter due to the availability of seasonal work and that every ten years or so this factor is amplified by temporary census employment opportunities.
Furthermore any initiatives to reduce the number of folk excused work due to illness or parenting will of course lead to an increase in the unemployment figures in the short term.

Looks for :hallelujah: emoticon....
However, I'm not sure that those, as you say, excused work for "parenting" appear in the unemployment figures since they retain their employed status and receive Maternity (or Paternity as appropriate) or paid parental leave from their employer. A woman electing not to return work after the birth when the statutory periods have expired would be required to place herself under the JSA arrangements and be available for work if she required State benefits (she may as well retain her existing protected employment) or she would just drop out of the system altogether.

Of course we shouldn't let such facts get in the way of prejudice or scare mongering.

Of course not; but where in this thread have such devices been used?

Well we shall have to see. What if YOU'RE wrong, what then? You still haven't provided any proof to substantiate your claim about the "private" Bank of England...because you can't, can you?
Some 6 months ago you sent me a P.M. forecasting impending financial doom on the following day when the financial markets opened. Guess what..it didn't happen.
So if it is, as you have now said several times, the "Big One" what are you doing to protect your £120K salary and your £750K house. Come on, give us an insight to that wonderful economic brain of yours and let's have some practical advice for a change.

I think all these post`s from guls is giving the ability to see in to the future max
hold on ?....... i think i got one coming now !! .............Ooooo its a strong one .........oh yea here its
its a thread called "Phase 2,345,761 of the turn down" lol

or due to the rise in the cost of living ,maybe the the dole no longer pays enough ???
i also believe immigration has fallen while migration has risen leading to more jobs becoming available dunno

Of course we shouldn't let such facts get in the way rolleyes

The sooner people wise up and realise that full employment is an impossible dream, the better !!
We need to work out how to reduce the population and still pay for the increased costs of the ever ageing retired population.
Refusal to confront the real problems and continuing to allow the population to increase in the eronious assumption that the employed will allow themselves to be taxed to pay for the retired while the casino bankers are bailed out every time they fuck up is a recipe for disaster.

Well said, but have you read John Gray, "Straw Dogs"? If he is right then the population will decrease and there are some encouraging signs that it will. Erectile dysfunction is becoming more and more common (though predictably most of the men who suffer from it reportedly deny that they have a problem) and the sperm count among young males is getting lower and lower.

most of today`s cases are related to such things as smoking and drinking as apposed to natural causes
(though predictably most of the men who suffer from it reportedly deny that they have a problem) andthe sperm count among young males is getting lower and lower.
again i think this is probably down to the chemical cocktails that youngsters are throwing down their throats such as skunk weed and stella mix..........in fact you`ll probably find the sperm count is ok but the poor sods are so out their heads they don`t even know where to put it lol

i did read however a few years back that within 2 centuries the natural blond will be extinct

Would I be totally wide of the mark if I was to ask if this was a fall in the number of unemployment benefits claimants and not necessarily unemployment ??
How do we measure unemployment now ..... they have changed their minds so often

I'm not sure about now Staggers, but it seems Labour spent £billions on developing these..

only to find they didn't count past whatever Gawdy Borown pre-programmed in to them...
and the result decreased every time you used it...

Oh, I don't know Staggers... they do tell us that there is unemployment, after all.
Ah, the blessed Margaret. She always managed to score straight down the middle right into the back of the net every time. No need ever to move the goal posts at all wink
