In normal times, 1 in 132 Britons die every year....a hideous death toll made possible by Life, a sexually transmitted, universally fatal disease!

That's a surprising figure - I would have expected it to be 1/average life expectancy, say 1 in 80 or so.

The simple method of calculating the above figure would be to take the total UK population of 66m and divide it by the number of deaths per year of 660,000 i.e. 1 in 100!

How the UK population is counted and how deaths are counted will significantly change the figure.
e.g. the population and number of deaths may include tourists and migrants - both immigrants and emigrants.
