Here's a thing: why do we keep responding to someone who has so little respect for the rest of the users of this forum and for their own 'arguments' that they have admitted they cannot be bothered even using basic correct punctuation?

You're probably right.  |

He (or she) is a good poster. Provides some balance to the utter rubbish that infects most of your posts on the forum, and the fact that you felt it was necessary to abuse him a few weeks ago proves that you don't have the intellectual capacity to respond to his points.

And why was that ?
You can't just wave numbers around like a flag above your head unless you're prepared to stop and think about what it is you're trying to say, there is an obvious reason why unemployment rose from 2008 to 2010 and its the same reason why it has stayed pretty much static from 2010 to 2012 and if any political party wants to take the blame or the credit for that figure then by all means, sew it to their flag and wave it.
The important and most pertinent point that you should be addressing is what can be done to reduce the numbers - assuming that you believe they should be lower in the first place ? |

i'd rather not use basic correct punctuation than just spout lies to try and back up my own petty prejudices.

does unemployment not count in a recession or something? are they simply a 'price worth paying'?
Quote: JerryChicken "not least because under Labour, unemployment was reduced.'"
this statement is simply a lie. nothing more, nothing less. now, you as do several others may like to pretend that 2008-2010 didn't happen, but it did. |

Amazingly I've talked you completely around in a circle, you now seem to be trying to prove to me that unemployment rose in 2008 to 2012 because of the two recessions that occured in that period ?
I already know that, THAT is the point that I was trying to make to you when you asked why unemployment was so high in 2010 
Your second quote is not one of mine. |

i know exactly why unemployment went up. it's what tends to happen in a recession. i never asked why unemployment was so high in a recession. you should stop banging your head against the wall, it prevents you reading what's actually written as opposed to what you want to see.
i know the second quote isn't yours, it's from someone who thinks 1.7m/2.0m is a bigger number than 2.5m.

So you've answered (at last) your own original question.
Good, are we done ? |

Really ?
The punctuation thing again, putting a question mark at the end of a sentence, sort of turns it into a question you see. |
