First, for all of your bluster, unemployment is lower in the UK than most of Europe, so we aren't doing that badly as a whole.

Not saying I agree or disagree wherever Arthur was going with that but he has a point when it relates to Port Talbot. The area always has been an unemployment blackspot with little or no prospects of advancement for some. The general 'community feel' to PT means that many people have elderly or disabled relatives living with them so while they may have a job, the option of moving away for new employment is not as straightforward as outsiders may initially think.
