2002 and is it even British?

I remember 3 million unemployed and 15% interest rates......not seen them with Blair.

I know it's a very unpopular view but Blair has done a pretty good job, particularly when compared to what went before.

"more people now working in the UK than ever before in history"

possibly because we have imported vast numbers of immigrant workers, turning this country into the sweatshop of europe.

This is all done at the expense of the indiginous working class.

Note: by indiginous I mean anyone who was born here whatever there colour.

"with more people now working in the UK than ever before in history."

Yes Warren, But most of them are Latvian, Polish..... and I guess the true unemployment figure is a lot higher than you are conned into believing, apparantly, your classed as employed if your on benefits now. Blair has fucked this country over, taken us in to an illegal war, and made the country a target for terrorist,s as well as a safe haven for them, anyway old son! you may be a big fan, I,m not too keen. I would rather have interest rates at 14% if it meant reversing most of 'Nu-Labours fuck up,s.

Another reason why the unemployment figures are 'lower' now is that anybody on training schemes, New Deal, etc. are not counted as unemployed because they get a training allowance. Also, 16 year-olds are not allowed to sign on straight after leaving school as they used to be able to. I'm not saying that they should be allowed but that's what pushed the figures up before. If you count everybody who is NOT working, then you could possibly be talking about 6 million as there are 3.7 million registered unfit for work but are not counted.
