Spin from Benson-Dope

David Benson-Dope is congratulating himself for manipulating the the drop in unemployment figures. There are now 44,549 on the dole compared to 42,405 in 1986 says The Dope. Yes there are. But that's nothing compared to the enormous increases elsewhere, as Lindsay Mitchell reports.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
