Not content with asking the population to fill in extremely tiresome census forms, the Government now wants us to fill in a form to tell them how happy we are. (Today programme, radio 4 this morning).
This is surely a devious way of taking our mind off the misery of the failing economy, falling house prices, unemployment, student loans and the many other causes of discontent in our society.
By attempting to measure things which are really difficult to measure; and by making it look as if we are a lot of 'moaning minnies', the politicians are neatly setting aside those things which they do not want to measure (or don't want to publicise). Things which make us very unhappy indeed.
