Having these figures presented to me yesterday helps me to begin to understand why those 'on high' deemed us to be rubbish and in need of turning into robots.
What those sadly failed to then take into account is that a small place is so very different from a large place. Statistics with percentages just do not work when you are looking at a maximum of 10 in each group. When it gets down to only 6, it gets just plain stupid. Is that not just common sense? If you have 1 in a group of 6 being poor and 1 in a group of 30 it makes for rather different percentages.
You'd think people who are meant to be intelligent might realise that. But sadly, it would appear not.
