These lists and the results therein are fatuous. People in the UK have a basic honesty across the board and particularly at work, which means we never do well in surveys of any description or subject - apart from honesty and probity.
In some other countries people big it up as part of their nature and give themselves a 10 wherever possible - this just doesn't happen here.

// Are any of you clever enough to realise the paper couldn't print the full list of all the countries in the World, only necessary to print the list as far as the UK is down on the list. //

Only necessary if your aim is to show the UK at the bottom of the list instead of right near the top. If your aim is to knock the country rather than praise it.

After clicking on the link supplied AOG I must commend the Express for supplying such important and informative news. Not just this report but all the links to other "news worthy" snippets of information.

Journalism at its best!!!

oh god someone has spotted the deliberate mistake

feeling safe is different from being safe ....

a neighbour, after Grenfell, did this "oh my I feel so unsafe now I must move! in case I get burnt out." bit with much hand-wringing and angst - and I said I can get you into a tower block if you want......
yup current abode - a bungalow ......Jesus

oh can I say a bit about Egypt - yes very safe
I and my deaf brother were very nearly arrested in Cairo a week before blamma blamma blamma 235 dead in Sinai
