Heaven Knows We're Miserable Now

It's not terrorism, job insecurities, the fear of crime (if you live in London, statistically you now have a one in ten chance of being stabbed to death while doing your weekly shop), house prices, the soaring cost of living or the hectic pace of everyday life to blame for the modern British malaise: according to a new parliamentary report it's loss of faith that's at the root of all our ills.

All you need is God? Try telling that to Rand Abdel-Qader.

UPDATE: You know your argument's in trouble when Silvio Berlusconi agrees with you.
