STATISTICS

I kind of like statistics despite the comment that ‘there are lies, damned lies, and statistics’. Politiciansd only like the ones which they favour. Hence the repeated mantra that unemployment is the lowest since whenever (Black Death?). This is despite employment figures being 0.5% down since 2019. Long term sickness figures are 400000 up since the end of 2019 to 2.49million. A third of these are thought to be due to. long covid (where are those who objected to the lockdowns to argue their case against these figures?). Underfunding the NHS has led to 7 million waiting for treatment.
