"How are you doing today, Britain?"
"I'm fine, thank you for asking," says Britain in typical British fashion gritting her teeth against the pain!
What I really want to know is how many of those 333,000 people that are in employment that weren't a year ago (putting it that way is a travesty of statistics but you know what I mean, I hope) were born in the UK. It seems to me, and it's a gut feeling, that if you tie in the number for people out of work and the number for people in work then you'll get a very different answer today from the answer that you would have got a year ago. It would need a better statistician than I ever was, let alone am, to arrive at the answers. And someone with more time than I've got at present.
