Wake Up To Money’s Micky Clark must be good mates with Russell Brand or something.
Last week he told us that the Government was lying to us about low unemployment figures….this week he continues the theme (8 mins) saying we may be being duped by employers and politicians about the ‘good news on employment’...the employment figures are open to manipulation he tells us.
So…again he is openly claiming the Government is lying to us about the level of unemployment.
This is a constant theme with Clark, and indeed the BBC…either the numbers are wrong, a ‘puzzle’, or the jobs that are being created are low grade or part time or zero hours contracts, which MC has a problem with.
Never mind that most are in fact full time jobs, there are a record number of women in the workplace and youth unemployment is falling.
Women suffer the most?
Ministers welcomed the fact that a record of more than 14m women were now in work, with the female employment rate of 67.2 per cent the highest since records began in 1971.
Low grade jobs?
There were 32.35 million workforce jobs in September 2013, up 216,000 from June 2013 and up598,000 on a year earlier. As shown in Chart 9, the sector showing the largest increase in jobs between September 2012 and September 2013 was professional, scientific and technical activities which increased by 137,000 to reach 2.62 million.
900,000 young unemployed?
There were 917,000 unemployed 16 to 24 year olds (31% of whom were in full-time education),down 48,000 from July to September 2013.
All part time jobs?
The number of men working full-time, increased by 87,000 to reach 13.98 million.
The number of men working part-time, increased by 13,000 to reach 2.16 million.
The number of women working full-time increased by 122,000 to reach 8.09 million.
The number of women working part-time decreased by 28,000 to reach 5.91 million.
The BBC…half the News…all the Time.
This is a sign of the growing desperation within the BBC that the Tories may win an outright majority at the next election. If they do then hopefully we can expect as a minimum a radical shake up in the way the BBC is funded and at best a start down the road to its abolition.
Of course if the Tories do win, then Harriet and her chums, will the latest in a long line of Labour politicians and union leaders, who will not be in a position to pay back the BBC for the favourable treatment that they have received at the hands of the corporation, by increasing the funding and scope of the BBC.
Noted too on Feedback yesterday a re-run of their “reporting those concerns” that Nigel Lawson was not a “Climate Change Expert”(unlike Nick Stern)…so should not be getting a chance to talk as such on the Today Programme.
Very unusual for that bleeding stump of Radio output to run a complaint two weeks running, with absolutely no purpose to it( Chris Huhne on Newsnight was the same the other day).
The Green Gag is getting fitted for us all….thankfully, unless it had a ball in it, they`d not know how to fit it…so maybe a spare Umbro football made by Pakistani child labour may yet be retrieved from the Amazon for the purpose…f***In trees are useless if you can`t make goalposts from them.
Funny how the Greens have nothing to say about all that pointless sport and floodlights etc around the planet isn`t it?
Stern is no climate change expert, he is an economist, and I rather think Lord Lawson is better at economics too.
We’ll if we have unemployment we don’t need to import labour from anywhere in the world .
It’s Five Live. It is liberal left to its very core. On Wake Up To Money Mickey Clarke is bad enough, but Andy Verity is far worse. I remember Verity announcing the news that the country had avoided a triple dip recession in a tone which was not heard again until Mandela died.
You don’t have to listen very long to Five Live to see its underlying ethos. Just dip in for twenty minutes from six in the morning until seven at night and I can guarantee you political bias, all in favour of Labour and left wing and so-called progressive values. They’ve not yet met a terrorist they didn’t admire, or a cultural marxist they didn’t approve of.
They routinely allow guests to air whose worldview is enough to make you ponder quite who they really represent. It is only thanks to Google you then discover they are members of Respect, a far left thinktank, CAGW pressure groups or the SWP. Five Live don’t think it important to mention who these people really are. Bias by ommission is Five Live’s stock in trade.
Five Live must be a very odd place to work. The women think they’re men and the men don’t seem too certain what they are anymore. It is particularly noticable when Rachel Burden is on air. Five Live breakfast is a vision of a possible future nation, where weak, ineffectual, metrosexual men are bullied and cajoled by a woman who in the real world would have been told to STFU until she learnt some manners some years ago.
It really wouldn’t surprise me to discover men on their first day at Five Live are shown the toilets, the stationery cupboard, and then told to report to matron for castration.
Five Live should be subject to a Parliamentary investigation as a matter of urgency. I can only assume it gets away with it because the government are all tuned to Today on Radio Four.

Oh they don’t have to be told to report to matron for castration they fall over themselves to get to matron for castration
Stands them in good stead at their annual review/ boohoo can I get a bigger programme on a proper station with listeners please.
Maybe they were all attending the England wimmins rugby match at Twickers . They should all be sacked at 5 dead ,& replaced with the Sky Sports News totty presenters . But somehow I think Hariden Harperson & her mates would be spitting blood at that .
