Government survey: Britons happy

6 November 2008, 21:55

I kid you not BBC

Nine out of ten people are happy - and seven in ten optimistic about the future - a government survey suggests.

The National Social Marketing Centre's findings were published amid widespread fears of recession, falling house prices and rising unemployment.

The report says "in general Britain is a happy nation" with 70% expecting more positive than negative experiences.

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Ah yes, the BBC. Brown's broadcasting corporation. The govt. mouthpiece.

Most people still think the credit crunch will only affect rich bankers. They'll soon find out.
