your post is RIGHT AFTER a post by rualev, my friend and a writer.

who lauds this as POSITIVE.

i tried to tell him what i think but tactfully...

i think .. (not tactfully) - it is obnoxious. but.. "good intentions".

there is a way to help people - the ill, the indigent, the dying, the elderly. even without a "ministry of funny walks " (monty python) those attempt can grate on one's sensitive consciousness.

i especially love a putin oligarxinya whose horsey face and healthy laugh are featured regularly alongside dying kids and happy energetic pleas for Just one thousand more! while she is features in clothes and trinkets costing 4 times that if not 40.

Monty Python is exactly what immediately sprang to my mind.
Except evidently Muggeridge's Law has them beat.

But seriously. From a stiff upper lip to a Ministry of Loneliness in 40 years. Mind boggles.

In parallel, the Office for National Statistics would help to establish a method of measuring loneliness, and a fund would be set up to help the government and charities to develop a wider strategy to identify opportunities to tackle the problem.

Кароче, ребята настроились вволю попилить бюджеты. И явно не будут делать это в одиночестве, там непаханое (непиленое?) поле.
