You do realise unemployment is still nearly 2% or so under the average of the previous couple of decades don't you?

The GDP growing has played a big role in the fact that despite the huge immigration numbers more people are in work today as a % than in the 70s 80s and 90s and that's been consistently the case for over a decade

You do realise that you use the term "you do realise" - and in a very condescending tone - an awful lot.

 

I have made it clear I have no interest in engaging you in any discussion, you're a troll and a terribly inaccurate and uninformed poster when you aren't trolling so I see nothing to be gained from it. Besides, we all had to endure years of posts about your shop, I'm.well behind you in the repetitive annoying post count

 

You just did.

Don't sell yourself short; you are A LOT closer to me in the annoying post count than you think.
