Manchester is the second happiest but has the most instances of 'self-harming' in the country. It's all bollox!

For instance, with unemployment we can say that people who are unemployed are on average happier in an area of high unemployment compared to being unemployed in an area where everyone else around you has a job.

So we should move all the unemployed people to the same place. Up north perhaps?

UK population 'will be top in EU'

The UK population is projected to become the largest in the EU
The UK population is set to become the largest in the European Union, according to a report.

It is expected to increase from its current figure of 61 million to almost 77 million in 2060 - a rise of 25%.

This would make it the largest population in the EU, ahead of the projections for France (72 million) and Germany (71 million).

But we are only 2/3rd the size.

de
total: 357,021 sq km
land: 349,223 sq km
water: 7,798 sq km

199 p/km2

uk
total: 244,820 sq km
land: 241,590 sq km
water: 3,230 sq km
note: includes Rockall and Shetland Islands

314 p/km2
And population density heavily skewed to SE England.

For comparison, nl commonly believed to be among most densly populated:

land: 33,883 sq km
water: 7,643 sq km

I prefer Germany's stats.

The most miserable place in Britain.
