The loneliness epidemic which has stalked Britain for years appears to have intensified during the period of government-mandated lockdown, research suggests, with significant portions of the UK completely missing out on normal social interactions.
Revealing the findings of their study in a report outlining the think tank’s case for the government spending more money, London-based Demos said a 32 per cent plurality of Britons reported that they found it harder to make new relationships now than even during the first pandemic lockdown in 2020. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 64 per cent of Britons were said by the group to have made no new friends in six months or more.
