Actually, I'm suggesting that they shouldn't have the numbers dumped on their heads at all and that the idea that reporting that Ireland's GDP per head rose by 0.1% at PPP equivalence stoat-belly wombat botherer is the slightest bit meaningful or useful to the body politic is gibbering nonsense. Replacing it with more meaningless numbers is not going to help: we'll just be told that Ireland's Guinness Quotient is higher than the UK's and aren't we great? It still hides what needs to be discussed.
