Good idea or a waste of taxpayers money?

OP, was there a link you were supposed to provide? What do you mean by loneliness? an agency that will cater to lonely people that may have depression or need assistance?

It’s a major health issue.
More and more people are living a single life, now. Including straights, I mean. If the government is serious about “promoting the general welfare”, or facilitating “the pursuit of happiness”, then I think it’s a good thing. Probably so good, that Trump will try to destroy it.

R2, note that this proposed office is in the UK, not the US.

After Brexit they'll all be even lonelier.

Sorry OP. It's pretty clear you're a troll. Blocked.

Money spent to alleviate loneliness; no money spent to keep families together.

Why don't they just found a Ministry of Silly Walks while they're at it?

I think we need to get past the idea that improving lives is figured out in a single stroke — we have to recognize a good idea when we see it and think, “this could really make a difference.” In my opinion, this is indeed a good idea.

Well, I say the U.K. government should appoint a new “Minister of Happiness.”
With a budget of 13 million pounds.

While I expect here in the US the Administration will soon announce the creation of an Office of Fuck You.

R18 Well, I say the U.K. government should appoint a new “Minister foe Sexual Fullfilment.”
With a budget of 13 million pounds (and a good supply of prostitutes).
