Whilst on the subject of the economy, the biggest irony right now is that the BBC published a report last week revealing that job vacancies in the UK are at their highest since current records began back in 2001, but many firms are actually struggling to recruit workers. If we were actually on the brink of a full-on recession then surely this wouldn't be the case.
Of course, as per usual, many people said in the comments on the BBC website that the job vacancies thing is total BS and that the job situation in this country is actually the worst it's ever been in their opinion.
They also say the very same whenever we're told crime is down.
Seriously, where do a lot of these 'know-it-alls' get a lot of their facts and stats from?
