When we look back at this era one baffling question will be why didn't Labour move against the Tory Media including the Mgmt at the BBC
It's the same as the Dems v Trump
Progressives play be rules the right has forgotten long ago

If only our media could produce writing of this quality and then ask Farage some tough questions
He never seems to be held to account

205 test wickets at the age of 31 says his actual record isn't quite as good as Sky's hyping of him

It's absolute genius isn't it
Who can think paying £116,000,000 with wages +£200,000 per week for an established German international is anything other than a masterstroke
Plucking a player from nowhere at a bargain price is the LFC way
not using money to compete against the big money clubs

Well, as you have written it, it reads as a sad and sorry tweet that seeks to score a Brexit political point on back of human suffering and death
The only thing it's missing is Dunt's bantz factor he has in his
All a bit sad
comment in response to
post
It's a disgusting tweet really isn't it
Callous and thoughtless making this delicate topic into some sort of point scoring dinner table debate
Pathetic really
comment in response to
post
Making the deaths of people who are suffering or indeed those who have concerns into some sort of political point scoring linked to Brexit is disgusting
Mind Ian Dunt thinks it a cause for ligh hearted bantz
Shame on you lot and I'm normally in support of you

Are you still shocked?

Because the State should never get actively involved in the death of its citizens
I'm sorry for your circumstances but State sanctioned killing is never an answer
There are serious questions over the safeguarding in this bill
Read what the RCPhyc say
comment in response to
post
We already have the Canada situation with people calling for those with Parkinson's to be included in the "scheme"
I hate to think what a law like this would be like in the hands of a populist Gov
The State should never get involved in the taking of life because then it becomes normalised

But he's certainly having a good old laugh about it today isihe

The headline rather gives their view away doesn't it
comment in response to
post
No what's rather strange is someone doing an incomplete quote to support their views
They cannot support the bill because it doesn't meet patients needs and has insufficient safeguards
comment in response to
post
A selective quote is perhaps worst than a lie
They said they are unable to support the bill because it doesn't meet the needs of patients
They also say the safeguards in the bill are insufficient
But yes, you take a part quote out of context if it makes you happy
comment in response to
post
The Royal College of Psychiatrists oppose this bill because there are insufficient safeguards yet a group of politicians can over rule them by under 30 votes
Maybe the ligh hearted celebration like this by Ian Dunt it would be good if this was given some thought

Dementia isn't a reason by assisted death in this bill
comment in response to
post
Firstly you aren't special many of us have been through exactly the circumstances you describe
Secondly you make the point that the reason you back this law is because of how you felt and to be frank that's irrelevant

Take a look at Canada
comment in response to
post
I suggest you take a look at the situation in Canada and how that evolved
You simply don't understand human nature and how politicians respond to it
There will be plenty of votes in expanding this dangerous law
comment in response to
post
As I said the world isn't how you imagine it to be
Once the principal is established it's a very short move for people with dementia to be finished off
Just wait till the public realises that Granny who is dribbling in a pool of he own shit can't be "helped on her way" They are going to be livid
comment in response to
post
Jeez the idea that people can agree to be killed by another in any circumstances isn't "benign"
As for your strawman argument it's a very poor example of that type
comment in response to
post
To be absolutely clear back
Once we have established that doctors can kill patients on their wishes a politician backed by public pressure will allow people with dementia to agree ahead of time or on family wishes
The world isn't how you imagine it to be
comment in response to
post
I'd be 100% once it's become acceptable for doctors to kill patients with their permission public pressure will push a politician (let's say Farage) to take away the safeguards you mention
comment in response to
post
We will rapidly move from terminal illnesses to people unable to cope with the pain or mental depression of illness or life in general
Pressure from them or families will come and we'll have facilities set up to kill people
It's a dangerous law
comment in response to
post
Someone who has dementia is unable to think fully for themselves
Therefore they have to make the decision ahead of time
The Dutch have decided there is no way people know ahead of time how they will feel
Lots of people cite dementia as a reason for assisted suicide
comment in response to
post
Lots of people will expect that if they get an illness that impacts the brain they will be able to consent to the assisted suicide
So are we to take the instructions from someone unable to think properly?
Or will the family say "it's what he wanted he didn't want to be a burden"
comment in response to
post
In the Netherlands if you have any condition that impacts your brain so dementia you can't go in for the assisted dying
The idea that someone at 25 can consent to being killed at 85 if they have dementia is ludicrous

31% don't know and I suspect another 31% have no idea what generational unfairness is

He holds the highest rank in every part of the military. He's a Field Marshal for example
He's also got a medal from the Canadian Army
Now this might be a shock to you but he's not a real field marshal and he's never been in the Canadian military
It's fancy dress that idiots fall for
comment in response to

That's him in fancy dress again
comment in response to
post
You seem to not be understanding the point
The Chelsea Pensioners are actual veterans
The person you seem to be a better person than you and your family by chance of birth is in fancy dress
Anyway you are brainwashed so there is no point to this
Bye

Somewhat ironic that you mention 2025 when defending (on your metaphorical knees) an old man dressing up in fancy dress from the 18th century
comment in response to
post
Can you let me know what Charles has done to deserve all those medals he wears
Or is it just fancy dress?
At least Trump as CinC refrained (this time) from the fancy dress we indulge in

The parents or public school children simply need to work harder and not rely on State handouts
I suggest they take up a second job in the evening such as a cleaner or bar worker
If they can afford a mobile phone then they can afford the VAT

All a vote for the Greens will do at the next GE is put the guy who wants to bring back coal mining into power
You lot are going to be like the Latinos For Trump gang suddenly amazed that the leopard ate your face
Self indulgence

You could also say that everyone knew that Labour was going to win the election so it gave licence for some to vote for other parties
Or the Liberal vote was Labour voters switching to get rid of the Tories
Both are as irrelevant as your point

No it's simply stupid

If you think a Farage Government with a massive majority will be anything like this Labour Government you are truly living in a made up world that you have created to convince yourself what you think is true, is

Our pension system is nothing like other countries
We have a state pension, massive tax breaks on occupational pensions, companies compelled to put money into employee pensions, ISAs and flexible drawdown
Sadly people, perhaps like you, don't understand it

You mean the recent local elections that never happened in Wales?

comment in response to
post
I merely point out the fact that when you said pensioners had paid for the state benefits they receive you are incorrect
What breaks society is a group of privileged pensioners with an overbearing sense of entitlement that they expect working people to pay for
comment in response to

I suggest you look up the word "intention" in the dictionary
Also an opinion poll is not the same thing as a real election
comment in response to

That's because it's true
Got to have a chuckle about a party with a record majority "clinging on" to power
comment in response to

Farage must be ecstatic with the Greens getting that level of support
comment in response to

I must have missed the elections when Reform got all these votes in Wales
Delusional
comment in response to
post
This is a ludicrous comment
Let's take Wales
The potential Reform voters have always voted Labour
Farage needs to be beaten but repeating social media stupid hot takes doesn't help

The people of the US are responsible for their leaders
Trump is enabled by the voters of the US and the same goes for Congress
Lots of US people saying "it's not our fault"
Maybe you should have changed the ridiculous constitution that allows all this
