With 66.35 million people living in the UK in 2025, the BBC follow the acts of many others and
tend to work in percentages, a way of using small numbers instead of large ones. However, a
quote from them shows a remarkable increase -yet without the shamefulness.
...
3 million = shocking for the country in 1983.
9.4 million = er... what? in 2025.
And the reason they calmly suggest for a country seemingly without major industries doesn't require its media
to scream panic was the Coronavirus.
A 1983 population of 56.33 million subtracted from a 2025 population of 66.35 million leaves 10.02 million, which is suspiciously close to 9.4 million "inactives" - only a difference of 620 thousand (all of whom are actively employed or "economically active", since the 9.4 million are the "inactives"). Coincidence? Or correlation?
