Unemployment could hit 2.5bn

[KamikazeElvis]

The figures are roughly correct. Britain's official population is approximately 61 million, but illegal immigrants and unregistered economic migrants takes that figure up to 2.5 billion. God save the Queen.

@KamikazeElvis were the hell did you get that uk population is about 70 million immigrants 72-73 million max

Fire the proof checker - make it 2,500,001

I guess that makes 100% unemployed in Britain then & we can throw in the rest of Europe for that figure too.. it's 2.5 million folks but as someone else aid there is far more, this figure is just people on benefits/jobseeker roll.

[GuysSeriously]

2.5million they mean and there are far more unemployed than that! i guess they only count people on jobseekers and not their other dole benefits

[GuysSeriously]

not to mention all those who cant claim for benefits. Other sources say the unemployment rate is closer to 4m

2.5 billion... how many people in this country are there? so nobody working in Britain at all.. EXCELLENT!! we can eat nuts and berries and experiment with cannibalism!

[anjonjp]

I don't suggest eating politicians though - they would probably upset your stomach!!

....with tongue in cheek! :-)))

it is ridiculous to believe that every person on the planet, or even in a country, could become employed. The pollution alone would put a quick end to it. That said, what is the final goal these governments want and what is the comparison model for these studies? That would be my question if i were the journalist.

[commongroundpolitics]

Wow, 2.5 BILLION! That's more than China & India combined! I didn't know the UK population had exploded so much :)

[regratex]

we cant let those dervishes outbreed us!

[bubbles199348]

@commongroundpolitics could have government are literally clueless

[KosmicCitizen]

FIX THE BLOODY TYPO!

[anjonjp]

Exactly!!

The level of online 'printed' material (Yahoo News, YouTube headlines by news organisations etc...) is appalling. Doesn't anyone check their work anymore? For goodness sake, most word processing applications have a built in spell checker to catch most mistakes that are being made! (Although it would obviously potentially miss 'bn' instead of 'million'.)

[TermsOfUseExpired]

this video is stupid, just another extremist view. Unemployment wont reach that level...nearly impossible.

[leescott9sb]

lmao billion, there aren't even that many people in the UK all together!

[KarmicDrifters]

Yea, 2.5 mill? 2.5 bill would be scary.

[RROkDOkA]

you mean 2.5Mill
