Ah of course 'official govt figures'

Yeah, because those are so much less accurate than just mere hearsay

You've made a series of statements unsupported by evidence or data. That is hearsay.

Blimey not only a boring middle aged man but a sandwich short of a picnic. Julia states the source of her numbers. You not liking the source is irrelevant. Go check it out yourself.

The article quotes numbers from the ONS. That's a source. 'Official govt figures' is not. Which govt, what figures? (You're right about the boring bit though)
