    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Just over 1 MILLION 16 to 25's unemployed. :eek: THATS AN ALL TIME RECORD!

    Not good news at all for the economy is it.

    Think about it....this is the age group that spends the most on fashion etc and at that age should also be saving too for a house deposit.

    This should hit the first time buyer market hard...oh dear oh dear
