    Unhappy Brits

    Unhappy families: UK is third worst in Europe for home life - Health News, Health & Families - The Independent

    Britain is one of the worst countries in Europe for families, according to a study released today by the Relationships Foundation. High levels of debt and poverty, coupled with long and unsocial working hours, are major contributing factors, the report, Family Pressure Gauge, reveals.


    Its research paints a picture of a country where, in stark contrast to David Cameron's pledge to make Britain the "most family-friendly" nation in the world, British families are among the most pressured in Europe, only ahead of Bulgaria and Romania.

    Stress from money and work worries, along with a lack of support for parents and poor living conditions, are all factors, the report finds. It recommends urgent reform to the way families are helped, with one in five families struggling to make ends meet.

    The report also reveals that 14 per cent of families are suffering "critical" levels of debt, compared to 1 per cent of Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian households.



    This is what happens after 13 years of Labour rule. Enjoy.

    Spent yesterday walking in the park and the day before that relaxing by lake starnberg drinking a nice cool beer in the hot sun.

      It takes something to be more miserable than the countries that are permanently dark for half the year. We should be proud!

        Really? You're not in Germany by any chance?
        Hard Brexit now!
