People often complain that morality is in decline, so 🇺🇸 scientists decided to investigate this phenomenon. They used archival and original data (n = 12,492,983). The results show that people in at least 60 countries believe that #morality is declining, and they have believed this for at least the last 70 years 😇 📉. In short, the idea of a decline in morality is widespread, persistent and unfounded.

When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.

A spoiled ballot is a vote for the Tories. It's exactly what they want.
Labour's 15% - 20% poll lead is holding firm precisely because #Starmer refuses to throw the Tories a political bone.
As Napoleon once said "Don't disturb the enemy when they're busy making mistakes".
It's more important for the UK to remove these far right Tory crooks from power, than it is to wonder why Starmer isn't spilling his guts policy-wise, when an election hasn't yet been called... 🤷🏾♂️
This assumes either of two teams playing are trying to effect change
I am not part of "labours policy platform" - so is that a requirement to know what may be their policy?
So, no, i am not at peace - i am devastated that the people of the UK will likely face #austerity, more cuts, more real-wage cuts and increasing inequality whichever "team" wins
Maybe #Labour will discover a reason to exist other than just managing #decline
