Would you care to comment on the factual stat as mentioned, or would you prefer to ignore it totally and have a pop at the poster instead? One answer makes you appear to be a total dick, while the other forces you into a situation of some awkwardness. Over to you....
Is it factually correct?? I can only see reports in the left wing press suggesting the figures that the OP cut & paste in the OP. A left wing newspaper stating this figure does not make it factually correct.
