Unemployment Soars to 2.2 million

The number of people out of work soared by almost a quarter of a million in the first three months of this year, figures show.
The rise of 244,000 is the biggest quarterly increase in the jobless total since 1981 and was larger than many analysts had predicted.

It takes the number of people in the UK now looking for work to just over 2.2 million, the worst figure since 1996.

Shadow work and pensions secretary Theresa May accused Labour of "sleepwalking through this unemployment crisis."

She went on: "Behind these grim statistics, people's lives have been shattered. We still have a Government that is devoid of ideas and devoid of any real vision to help people out of this grave situation."

The rest of the capitalist world has followed the communist world into Government concealment. With this veil of secrecy, they can tell us anything without fear of contradiction. But watch: we are about to see the economies fall off a cliff. The real beginning of the recession is the packaged bankruptcy of GM on June 1, 2009.

How I wish I'd been unborn wish I was unliving here.
