They are judged the happiest people on earth, with the world’s best energy system, a GDP per capita almost a third higher than Britain, more bikes in daily use than the Netherlands, a swim just 15 mins away from every Copenhagen resident and state-run TV that changed the face of drama with Borgen, the Killing and the Bridge. Yet Denmark is small (with about half the land mass of Scotland’s with roughtly the same population). It has less oil/coal/gas to fuel its economy and lost an empire – just like Britain. Yet the Danes have bounced back to become the modern, eco-leaders of Europe. How did they do it?

Excellent programme, Lesley 🏴👍
Let’s get Scotland independent! 🏴
Yes, with Hamzi Humza as FM, this is where you are heading, Scotland. 🙃
As a dane I would rather use the word CONTENT. It's more precise. And I enjoed your video as it, in many ways, are more telling about our country than a lot of other videos I've seen. Good job, and Skotland will always be welcome to join the nordic countries. Think you will learn more from us than from the british.
A small country where the State charges high taxes, the public service works and the people are happy is ridiculous. Human beings need to live in shitty countries and feel unhappy evading taxes and complaining about the ineffectiveness of public services. Why cycle safely when you can be crushed inside your SUV by an even bigger SUV? Clean rivers offend the Anglo-American way of life, because the English and Americans really like huge infected sewers dumping shit and toxic waste on the beaches.
