    Anyone see that muppet of a work and pensions secretary on the goggle-box this morning claiming that unemployment was currently "less than a million" and there were "over half a million vacancies"?

    So in reality, counting income support and people on incapacity, we're talking more than 10%.
    What cobblers. They'll just redefine what 'unemployed' means, as they've done numerous times since coming to power.
