Job Losses At The Club

[kippaxvilla2]

That's true.

Nobodys  job is safe  with this goverment

Now looking at the facts, we find that UK Unemployment at the time of the general election (May 2010) was 2.51 million.  And Looking at unemployment now (September 2011), it's currently 2.51 million.

If we look back to May 2005, then 1.4 million people were unemployed.

So pay attention now Spud:

Jobs lost under the last Labour Government  = 1.1 million jobs

Jobs lost under the Coalition Government = 0 jobs

[Chris Smith]

I know of about 30 people who have lost their jobs as a direct result of the policies of this Government with many more to come in the near future so you're talking shite, Dry Sack.

[drisaac]

you're talking shite, Dry Sack.

Which part of what I posted was false?

I was one of about 300 of people who lost their jobs at my last company.  This was when the Labour Party was in power.

Dry Sack?  Really?  What line of work are you in Chris?

That there have been zero job losses under the coalition, it's not true. Now, there might have been some part time and agency posts created but many, many public sector jobs have gone or will go in coming months and with growth flat lining there will be very little to replace them. That's reality rather than your attempt to use statistics to make a political point.

Dry Sack is a piss take of your user name which you asked for with your patronising "so pay attention" line.

I think the 3,000 odd people about to lose their jobs at BAe Systems due in no small part to government policy will take issue with you drisaac.

Considering his ability to play with numbers maybe he's Carsen Yeung in disguise.

1,020 Royal Navy Personnel to be made redundant with more to come. 

You might need to look at your zero job losses you've attributed to this government drisac, you are the one that needs to pay attention to what's happening out there instead of hiding behind bullshit statistics.

[drisaac]

It's sad when there are job losses, as I found out myself a couple of years ago.

I didn't "play with numbers".  Look at the numbers and you see that unemployment has been more or less static since about June 2009, following a big rise in 2008-2009.

This is not a political point.  It is a statistical point.

"nobodys job is safe with this goverment" is just untrue.

Some jobs are destroyed, some jobs are created.  Zero job losses is the net figure for the past 16 months, so for every job destroyed there must have been one created.  The "bullshit statistics" you refer to come from the government and are not bullshit.

Benjamin Disraeli had it right when he said "There are lies, damned lies and statistics".
Just thought I'd get it in before any body else.

No, it's alright, because JD Sports are expanding, and so are Waitrose, so they can all go and get minimum wage jobs flogging trainers or stacking shelves.

See, one job lost, one created = as you were.

[Chris Smith]

It's a distortion of statistics, the overall number of people out of work does not tell the whole story as it varies greatly from region to region and sector to sector. People are being made redundant directly by this government and indirectly as a result of their policies. That's a fact.

You don't need to be a statatician but just a basic level of maths will do to work out that if 1020 people lose their jobs in the public sector as a result of government policy that government's figure of "0" job losses is nothing but fucking bullshit. 

This is just one case in point, there are others as have been pointed out.  It's been going on for the past year and will continue to go on as a result of this government's policies.
