One of the most terrifying statements in all of literature: “I wear the chains I forged in life. I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.” ~ the ghost of Jacob Marley

I have said right from the beginning of this hideous Bill, it’s state sponsored eugenics. Kim Leadbetter on behalf of Starmer wants to kill old people to save money.
Lord Shinkwin points out an extremely uncomfortable fact to supporters of this dangerous assisted suicide Bill - not a single organisation of, or for, people with disabilities supports it!👊

Instead of just letting my son watch Bluey or any of the crap children love nowadays, I got him hooked to my childhood series. Now he is asking Santa for toys from those shows. You don't want to know how much I've spent on vintage figurines. Made my own bed, didn't I?

"Undemocratic" ... from a group that connived to conceal a flagship policy from the electorate then tried to game parliamentary procedure to hurry it through into law.
Alarm is growing in the Lords at a minority using undemocratic tactics to stall the assisted dying Bill. 1,100+ amendments – including a “grotesque” call to film every assisted death – aim to block progress, with risks to Lords reputation if they defy MPs' will.

🔥MUST WATCH! Baroness @lucianaberger tells Peers how Lord Falconer said in 2021 that life sentences should not be imposed on young people aged 18-20, who are not “unequivocally an adult”. So why does he now support a Bill that permits a death sentence for people of this age?

Not easy to define democracy but easy to say one think it is not - it's not a huddle of high-ups delibarately concealing their intentions from the electorate and then gaming parliamentary protocols to steam roller a measure through. You're bound to ask ... who benefits?
Full story here - The leak will raise fresh questions over how much government control there has been behind Leadbeater’s bill. https://t.co/lZR8lCnCZz

🚨In 2015, Keir Starmer wrote in The Times:“A person may only be provided with assistance to end their life if a High Court judge is satisfied”, saying he’d back a law if “these safeguards are enshrined”. So why did he support the assisted Bill AFTER High Court judges were axed?

Genuine Question - part of the reason they made such a landfill of a bill is that they were in such a hurry. But why the hurry on this and not on say child poverty?
Rather puts paid to "it's so undemocratic for the Lords to block this bill regardless of how bad it is!" This is really a Starmer/govt bill, but they've manipulated the process via a private members bill to avoid pre-legislative scrutiny and consultation. https://t.co/fOib5GOaLY

The weird Esther Rantzen encounter reads a bit differently after the Guardian’s revelations. Was this another way for Starmer to pretend it wasn’t his initiative?

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.
