#GapsInSupport - National Audit Office "2.9 million people were not eligible" for Government Support

Here we go again.

We now have the figures, beyond all reasonable doubt.  This is not a 'non problem', as shown by the reported "4 suicides in 72 hours" - yes you did read that correctly - twitter.com/ExcludedUK/status/1319239555816607744

That is actually good news. Not bad news.   In 2019, there were 5691 suicides in England and Wales. That is over 15 a day.   So, 4 suicides in 72 hours is a significant reduction. 4 too many of course but something must be right for the numbers to reduce that much.  Obviously, 3 days is insufficient to see if it is a better trend or not.     Lets hope it continues to improve.

We now have confirmation that the 3 million figure is, and always was, correct. 

Except its not and anyone with even a basic knowledge of maths can see it.   It is obvious on the excluded UK website.  It double treble or even quadruple counts individuals that fall under multiple categories.

I wish I knew what the process and rules were about locking and deleting threads.

I stopped caring months ago to be honest - seems to be every man/woman/child for themselves now
Tesco (I think) have 10,000 xmas jobs going according to another post, so there’s 10k off whatever the figure is (assuming they can be bothered to get of their bums and look for a job rather than just standing around with their hands out shouting me,me,me)

Commenting on deletions/ banned members/ thread closures/ moderator decisions always seem to be frowned upon and lead to .... more deletions/ thread closures.
