Embrace the confusion!
Thatchers fans will finally be able to cheer up a bit now. After a week of hyperbole, myth making and revisionism the reactionaries and dupes can return fresh to blaming the poor, calling disabled people liars and increasing poverty and despair in the name of the economy.

mmm, well, that looks like about 3.3million to me. I wouldn't like to use it to distinguish between someone who put 3,225,873 and someone who went for 3,353,893.

how about 'how many days were lost in strikes in 1978 (with the winter of discontent) versus how many days were lost because of increased unemployment five years later under thatcher?' (under 10 million versus over 500 million so over 50 times as many by my calculation).
At http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm:77-47008 there's a 2MB ZIP of PDFs in which they promise Unemployment levels: by sex, January–March 1971 to July–September 2005

it seems to be where the beeb got their graph from, the wordage only refers to 'over 3 million'
You'd almost think they want us to forget about it.I need a proper precise number , for reasons stated before - and that looks too complicated for half the pub at that time!
0.2mill is (or was) pretty consistently the difference between the 'unemployed' figure and the 'claimant count,' I wonder why a right-wing board would choose the lower figure.
(If I cant find the answer to this, I do have one I do know - how many PMQ's did she answer as PM - but its not very politically interesting.

Winter of discontent was six weeks in Jan-Feb 1979 not 1978.

Does Thatcher look like she's giving the bastard a crafty left-hand tug, or am I just an exceedingly sick and vile pervert?

The funeral was today, wasn't it?
It's sort of been knocked out of the news here by this Boston business.

You're also a pervert.Does Thatcher look like she's giving the bastard a crafty left-hand tug, or am I just an exceedingly sick and vile pervert?
Understandable. I could only wish that the funeral and the lead up to it hadn't been used to bury so much other news here.
