Nothing more dangerous than statistics as they can be twisted to fit whatever scenario you like to choose.

Trust me Keith!
You will realise in time I am invariably correct.
All I know is that if you live on max state benefits of £296 a week, you're still in the top 4% of richest people on Earth, and that globalisation, whilst making minor differences to some UK workers' expectations of what somehow they 'deserve' in spite of their low productivity, has cut extreme world poverty rates by over 50% in the past 30 years, having a greater effect than all our Foreign Aid and Bill Gates' efforts to get half of Africa fit enough for the Mediterranean crossing.
Oh. Plus it's a lovely sunny day! Off to the sea-front .............

The economy? 99% of the population have no interest in the economy, its a fatuous mirage created to tell people whether they are well off or not. People vote with their wallet not what a politician tells them.
If you doubt me ask me anybody in the street what the current deficit, debt and GDP is.
Good luck with that.

The Church's ethical investment policy dictates that all investments should be compatible with Christian values and "recommends against investment" in companies which make more than 3% of their income from pornography, 10% from military products and services, or 25% from other industries such as gambling, alcohol and high interest rate lenders.

Revising the Meatloaf disco slow-number, 2 outta 3 ain't bad, Justin Welby's karaoke version: 1 out of 4 IS bad.
