The Dept of Dodgy Statistics

From stuff: Fewer people on benefits in year to March - minister

This is classic, "That had resulted in a 20 per cent drop or 56,000 less children living in benefit dependant households." HELLO - Mr Tennis Ball man.... are you awake... WWF now extends to 75% of all families, so there are hundreds of thousands of children which are living in benefit dependant households that were not last March. And if you think they are not dependant, then why the hell are they receiving the money - Vote buying perhaps ?

You can spin it how you like Govt, but the only measure that has any meaning now is the welfare spend as a percentage of GDP. Dare you to publish that statistic on an annual basis from 1999 till now.
