    What are the exclusions from that data pool? Must be more than 5k claiming over 5 years, ridiculous figure to arrive at. Overstretched on the confirmation bias there to the point of comedy.

    I love this. And how long can you stay on income support before they almost always shove you onto a different code? Two years?

    Only 0.3%.

    Have 'the North' been excluded from the calculation?

    Is this 0.3% of CAFC employees? 0.3% of CAFC fans? No? Then stick it where it belongs.

    EDIT: thanks for moving it.

    Is this part of the 16% or 84%?

    I'm guessing (but have no idea) there are 30 million of working age. 0.3% of 30 million = 90,000. I am missing something here.

    Yes, you are missing the fact that it is 0.3% of claimants not 0.3% of people of working age

    Sorry for the confusion. The article was from the on-line Guardian which I read this morning at 5am. I was sure it was in the "in depth" section but a quick butchers just now has failed to locate it.........I will pop on a link later. It also stated that only £1 of every £33 spent on benefits goes to the unemployed.

    I haven't looked but suspect that's true. The really big slice of the benefits cake goes on pensions. (Do the Guardian's figures include the likes of child and working tax credits?)

    In fairness NLA, your grammar's not bad, it's just your punctuation that's shit :-)
