Tsunami Statistics

The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) briefed journalists on the latest Tsunami casualty figures. He said that the number of confirmed dead now was 52 not 51. 349 people were presumed to be victims of the Tsunami. That figure included the 52 confirmed dead and was down from the figure of 400 given last Friday. There were 464 British people still unaccounted for in the region, down from 568 on Friday. Asked how those statistics were likely to change, the PMOS said that the trend was going down but we had to judge it day by day. Asked what had caused these statistics to change, the PMOS said that it tended to be the pattern with all disasters. With the Paddington Rail disaster for instance there were still people unaccounted for even at this stage.

  2. We have just returned from a holiday in Thailand and at Bangkok International Airport witnessed the team of British police officers out there to help the families and friends of victims of the Tsunami who had gone out to try and find them. They told us the figure was now just over 300.

  6. Yes, the New Labour ‘literacy’ and ‘IT’ education scams have failed. The above is proof positive.

    What does this site say on the first page about its role and function? Maybe we need to teach our people to read before we let them loose on computers and the Internet.

    These people need to learn how to use Google, and/or any other search engine. The difference between ‘tsunami’ and ‘statistics’ and ‘tsunami statistics’ is obvious.

  7. Another negative result of the nanny state Tony Bliar is so fond of is that it takes away the ability and desire to think for oneself; much easier instead to ask mindless questions.

    I also notice how grammar is now a thing of the past…
