bbc reporting of unemployment

On Thursday I noticed the strange way that the BBC reports that unemployment is rising and the figures it reports.

September: Unemployment rises to 7.9%


October: Unemployment rises to 7.9% from 7.6%


November:Unemployment rises to 7.8% from 7.7%


Things got even stranger today when checking another area of their site and a different report tells a different story about the figures, one that is at odds with the other report published on the same day.


November:Unemployment falls to 7.8%


Come on BBC. If you can't be honest, at least be consistent.

If there are no Arabs, or muslims,in it, they are not fucking INTERESTED.
