I don't think I've ever started a thread in this section but the news about the most recent unemployment figures has really made me think. As I understand it overall ( and subject to lots of provisos) the general level of unemployment has fallen a very small amount in the last month. David Cameron said in the House of Commons yesterday that it was churlish of the opposition to be banging on about pastie tax when they should have been congratulating him on the reduction in unemployment. The reality for women is that 8,000 more of them are out of work now than the month before and that female unemployment figures are the highest they have been for 25 years. I'm staggering to comprehend that anyone should think this situation is one to be proud of.
