Pooley, you gave an opinion; people chose to comment, agree or disagree as they felt appropriate. You freely admit in an earlier reponse to Grufty that you weren't interested enough in evidence that was presented to you to 'look it up'. That hardly inspires debate does it? It seems a bit disengenuous to fall back on the "opinions being allowed or not" schtick just cos people have chosen to disagree with you on a couple of matters.

As it happens, I don't think SJD's comments were particularly helpful or warranted in response to...er....your response either.


Well, ok. I wasn't interested enough to look it up, and took them at there word. turns out that maybe i shouldn't have, as the figures were much less than suggested earlier. Still, there you go


Hang on a second. I didn't "suggest" any figures and I hope you weren't implying some level of dishonesty on my part. I quoted the UK's national statistics office and linked to the page.

As far as I'm concerned, those are the official figures. Where have the other ones come from?


Sorry, Grufty, I most certainly wasn't implying any dishonesty on your part. Really sorry if it seemed that way, I could have phrased it better. But, Looking through this thread there are different figures, and it seems when you take out certain groups that cant work, the figures shoot down to a more realistic level.
