Badger and bum boy Brown reckon we have 25 million people in work here. 2.6 claim incapacity benefit. With 3 millionish unemployed that leaves at least 39.4 million peeps unaccounted for.

Anyone know what they are up to?

This is purely based on the vague figures our spineless Junta put out.

illegal imegrants. no one knows what they're up to

under 18s and over 65s . Also I dont believe housewives/husbands are grouped into those categories.

Theres more people aged over 65 than between 18 & 65? Come on, hospitals are not that good!

There's 12,800 in my town with the comp having about 1400 kids ,maybe 2000 with primaries etc.

Housewives who aren't looking for work aren't classified as unemployed or employed. Similarly, millionaire playboys and children of people who's "daddy is something big in the city". Also students, prisoners, residents of institutions and people like Delboy Trotter who aren't registered.

BTW, there are 2.03 million unemployed at the moment, rising by 0.163 million over the last 3 months. It hasn't been near 3 million since Thatcher was in charge.

"The population of this country is 51 million.
21 million are retired.

That leaves 30 million to do the work.
There are 19 million at school.

That leaves 11 million to do the work.

2 million are unemployed and 4 million are employed by the
government to look after us.

That leaves 5 million to do the work.

One million are in the armed forces, which leaves 4 million to do the
work.

3 million are employed by County and Borough Councils to help the
government to look after us.

That leaves one million to do the work.

There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998 in prisons.

Which leaves 2 people to do the work.

You and me.

And you are sitting on your arse reading this.

No wonder I'm ********* knackered!"

statistics.gov.uk says abot 60.5million population, 10 million over 65, 13 million under 16, leaves a working age population of 37.5million. 25 million are employed (6million directly by the government) so 12.5 million in full time education/unemployed/sick/hospitalised or not looking for work!
