A study of whether the inhabitants of different countries are “flourishing” has put the UK close to the bottom of the world rankings. The research surveyed more than 200,000 people on six continents. They were asked questions designed to gauge not just happiness and physical health, but their sense of purpose, the quality of their relationships and their financial stability.
Brendan Case, a co-author of the study, said the loss of industrial jobs might also help explain the UK’s low rank. “It seems reasonable to think that one core determinant of flourishing … is being able to provide in a meaningful way for oneself and for one’s family, being able to do work that doesn’t feel humiliating or meaningless, being able to achieve a position in your community that is rewarded with real respect,” he said. In many post-industrial regions of Britain, he added, those opportunities had diminished, especially for those with lower levels of education.
The findings, published in the journal, Nature Mental Health, contrast with the better-known World Happiness Report, which regularly ranks Nordic countries at the top. The Happiness Report is more limited in its scope, however. It asks participants only to place themselves on a ladder with ten steps, where the bottom rung represents the “worst possible life for you” and the top represents the best possible.

Yikes I just posted something just before this thread with a very related theme!
A completely believable poll, for once.
leading lives of quiet desperation.................
They are just lucky that their new masters are allowing SOME of them to live at all.... For now, anyway
They are losing their country and it’s original culture just as with Ireland, Scotland and Austria.
All for the same reasons. The erosion is happening in real time. Those who could stop the dilution don’t or are not permitted to, since fully addressing the problem would require Free Speech. We’re not too far behind, if we don’t find the right people to keep Trump’s vision supported long after he leaves the presidency.
Who could be ahppy in a land where the government HATES you as a citizen and treats you as garbage for a foreign invasion force that HATES your religion, culture, race, and wants to kill you?
But the healthcare is free with top notch dental care.
complacency has its consequences
They're not citizens but subjects and their masters don't just hate them, they abhor them.
Deepak Chopra related the results of studies of the romantic behavior of people in various cultures. They could tell some things from the recorded observations in public. Certain countries like Italy and France had the highest numbers of someone hugging a relative, patting a shoulder, touching their hand, a couple at a restaurant holding hands and kissing as they parted.
The US was near the middle.
The British were at the bottom of the list.
He joked that the British people had so few instances to study that maybe the researchers were still waiting for some touching to record as they observed them.
Atheism and pederasty.
Genesis did an album about this over fifty years ago.
Oh it’s a lovely boot, 👢 though...
Reminds me of COVID-19(84) days
WORLDWIDE 💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉
This is likely due to their climate... Most Briton’s who have never left their country ever experience temperatures higher than 80 degrees Fahrenheit more than a few times during their entire lives. It’s typically either rainy or cloudy in the UK, and this dreariness can only lead to one thing... Depression and hopelessness.
Add to that their obsession with two of the most boring sports on earth, football (soccer) and cricket, and their acceptance and reliance on the Socialistic state that they have created and the hopelessness of their lives becomes even more apparent.
Their happiest times were during the days of colonialism... When they invaded and controlled far off lands where the weather was far much better, and the woman far more exotic. Now its all just dreariness and sad doldrum lives led in a muddy, damp and uninhabitable country filling up with immigrants.
Huh?!

Rum, sodomy, and the lash.
Regards,
Your statement carries a lot of truth.....my experience exactly....so glad I left that land back in ‘84 and never looked back

......The intelligence communities’ control western government. The government does not control the intelligence communities. This reality is the core of the great awakening that reconciles every facet of the conflict present and visible.
When things do not make sense; when things are unnatural and fraught with irreconcilable datapoints stemming from traditional perspectives that no longer align with what is visible; that’s because the intelligence apparatus is in control of it. Every example you can cite returns to this basic truth.......
Now do Finland
