@BigSpud7 @steviesstewart @Inevitablewest @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Their best. Everyone thinks they are basically good, while we all make mistakes. Keir Starmer believes he is doing the right things, as do all politicians. They are only human.
You ask a great question. Each to their own, I guess.

[Phil Appleton @PhilAppleton3]

@BigSpud7 @steviesstewart @Inevitablewest @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour There are lots of bad things going on in the world, but there are lots of good things, too.
As someone is supposed to have said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

[Phil Appleton @PhilAppleton3]

@BigSpud7 @steviesstewart @Inevitablewest @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Absolutely. As human beings, we have to work together to make it happen for all.

[Phil Appleton @PhilAppleton3]

@BigSpud7 @steviesstewart @Inevitablewest @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour The basic values of life. To wake up from untroubled sleep under shelter from the elements. To raise our children in a happy environment where food and water are plentiful, wild animals are tamed, and we all treat each other with love and respect.
Yes, I'm an idealist.

The death of Henry Nowak raises fundamental questions about our world.
We are seeing greater polarity between East and West. This tragedy highlights the need for us all to work together through tribalism, religion, and hate towards shared values uniting us as human beings.
This is where it starts. With hope and civilised discussion. We must let our elected leaders do their work. We should remember Henry Nowak's family and listen to them. We don't want another war.
For the sake of all our children.

Who should I vote for at the next General Election?
My English grandfather worked in a factory for 40 years. He and his wife lived in a council house and voted Conservative all their lives. My other grandparents were French. My parents were teachers. I have been a pilot and actor on a journey involving 45 years in the UK Mental Health System and lived a nightmare with the Criminal Justice System. I am 71, and my main source of income is my State pension.
I could vote for:
The Conservatives
Because of family tradition.
The Labour Party
Because I'm more likely to get welfare benefits.
The Liberal Democrats
Because I voted Remain.
The Green Party
Because I care about the planet.
Reform
Because Nigel Farage is a good speaker.
The Monster Raving Loony Party
Because I have a sense of humour.
All polite, rational, and good-natured suggestions will be gratefully received.
Kind thoughts to all,
Phil

@BROKENBRITAIN0 What is wrong with seeing the world with a wider perspective?
We all need to appreciate its beauty and vulnerability.

Social media, good or bad? Do we want a ban for under 16s?
Social media is the virtual world, but there are real people involved.
It has kept me going through horrendous personal trauma. The mental health issue is pertinent.
Allow social media for all, but adults should regulate it responsibly.
So, my 2-year-old granddaughter should see videos of my dog on her mother's phone. I watch videos of her sent to me by her parents. That's all normal and good.
Yes, have laws against criminality, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

@future_vision_x I would not believe it. It would be a scam

@elonmusk All civilisations are amazing in their own way. The human race is a miracle.

A guy goes to a fancy dress party with a woman draped over his shoulders. The doorman asks, "What have you come as, then?"
Guy, "A turtle."
Doorman, "What's with the woman?"
Guy, "Oh, that's Meshell..."

@ScenarioOfElon It depends on what you mean by God. I believe "God" is universal consciousness.
