    Are we an angry nation


    Anger is what makes us human. At times when I have felt most alive it is because I am angry. The problem comes when you cannot release this anger. Then it becomes unhealthy. If you are angry at someone, have power over them and are able to call them a tosser without fear of retribution, we can release it. Otherwise we can't, and we get ulcers. Our nation is frustrated and angry because we are more aware of injustice. It has nothing whatsoever with Britain being a so-called 'broken society'. If we had a media as effective and far reaching as today 50 years ago, we would have been even more angry, because 50 years ago everything was much worse, and the reasons for getting angry were doubly justifiable. The most angry people seem to be Daily Mail readers. The sort of person who reads the Daily Mail is the sort of person who is likely to get angry in whatever time period they happen to find themselves in. This is because the editorial and readership of the Daily Mail is bigoted, right wing and conservative. All bigoted right wing conservatives hate change. As change is unavoidable, this makes them rather grumpy. Most of the reasons Daily Mail readers get angry are irrational or fabricated.

    Therefore: We are angry because of the media, in particular the tabloid press.

    Solution: Look on the bright side, let out your rage and don't read tabloids
    .

    So if your angry cuz your wages are not in the bank on time (or at all ) your pet has being run over ,or your girlfriend has run off with you best friend ,balme the Daily Mail and Tabloids :)

    Tell me something I don't know buddy. All I know is that I wake up in the morning happy then I come across a tabloid and my mood quickly changes. Lazy reporting for the most part.
