14 year high for UK unemployment (16Sept09)

New Labour isn't working.

Unemployment from the private sector goes up, this report is missing the information in newspapers that in the same time 40,000 non-productive public sector jobs were created. With the private sector continuing to shrink, how much money in tax rises will be screwed out of the companies to pay for the non-wealth generating public sector?

Recorded from BBC 6pm News, 16 September 2009.

It is a sad reality that ex servicemen are selling medals they earned in valour, one family i know have sold all spare white goods , m / wave etc. and still struggle,britain has sadly lost the plot and the recovery will be slow, the fiscal front line reports are that austerity like the 30,s is here in reality, it,s only camoflaged by stats  and politics, on and off the street, can we learn from the past and save jobs, lives and our children,s future?
