Cameron to cut happiness by 30% - official

Cameron and co are going to incorporate 'general wellbeing' into GDP data. Whatever his motives, and they may be genuine, this surely must be good. Although judging by comments on the Guardian story, there are plenty who will be ticking the 'Mightily pissed off' box when the survey eventually appears.

Funniest comments:

"Those deemed not happy enough will be compelled to attend 4 week courses where they repeatedly have to read the Lib-Dem's election manifesto - that should have most people in hysterics.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. (Cue deafening silence).

If 2010 was a Black Adder episode, this idea would have surely come from Baldric; after Black Adder ravaged the country and was looking for a way to have fun with his subjugates."

Actually I am absurdly happy, and it's got nothing to do with the ConDems or the economy. Am I alone in this? Or is it all because of my baby Amali...aah
