Don't Worry, Be Happy

Some very nice people have started an organisation called Action for Happiness.  It is a charity aimed at refocusing society's attention away from the fact we have no money and concentrating on the more important things in life.

Happiness all round!

So what generous persons would fund such a charity in this economic climate?  Well it turns out it's those that tell us there is no money.  It's Dave and his "Big Society" Cronies over at the Office of Civil Society.

So instead of making massive cuts to vital organisations in education, health, childcare and emergency services and telling us to get it on with it, they have done their chopping and used the spare cash to tell us if we aren't happy it's our own fault for not surviving on love and puppy dog tails.

To add insult to injury the charity isn't run by three aging hippies living on a commune doing their best impression of The Good Life.  No they are all Oxbridge graduates.

Mr Richard Layard, a baron no less, who sits in the House of Lords, Geoff Mulgan, former Director of Poilcy for No. 10 and Anthony Sendon, Tony Blair's biographer.  Now could you ever find three men more suited to tell us how to be happy without wealth?

Well Dave,  heaven knows I'm miserable now.
