        @BBCBreaking unemployment down - do you not say "unemployed and claiming benefit" anymore? Figures not necessarily the same.

        @BBCBreaking Most of this number of people got temporary jobs only, and surely linked to the Olympics

        @BBCBreaking isn't that due to volunteers being unable to claim jobseekers?and the Olympics had loads of them? Just a thought.
