I suppose if I had said 9.9% instead of double digits you would have accepted the rest of my argument.

Not really, see below.

You can quibble over "double digits" but the fact is that politicians in Europe would kill for the 4-6% unemployment we have almost always had.

Not sure who they killed but:

..... 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009

UK 4.6 .....5.0 .....5.5 .....5.2 .....6.6

Many other Western European countries were better than us.

I do agree that the figures from the USA have usually been better but when making your point it helps if you use the truth.
