Without even looking it up I fail to understand how anyone can be smug when countries such as Myanmar, Yemen, Mali, Ethiopia, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ukraine, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Chad and of course Palestine are all involved in some sort of armed conflict that is killing millions of human beings.

World Happiness my arse.
You mention these places and that people are smug etc., however, there are at least 8 of those areas where British troops are actively involved in trying to make things better for human beings who live in those areas. Whilst you are saying that people are very smug etc., there are quite a number of British families who are far from smug because they have relatives involved in trying to establish peace, even if it is not widely known and, in the main, never admitted by our hierarchy ----for obvious reasons!
