Reminds me of that Neil Kinnock speech: “– I warn you not to be ordinary – I warn you not to be young – I warn you not to fall ill – I warn you not to get old.”

Shame he didn’t take that attitude to the Sex Pistols movie.

Same with covid You were only a good person if you cared about locking people in and forcibly covering others faces

Just want to say one last thing about assisted suicide. Palliative care specialists repeatedly tried to rebut idea put forward in many tragic stories of bereavement we should be dying in great pain & distress but the real reason we are, dysfunction in the NHS, was swept aside.

Actually, MPs - and anyone who uses the term - are being dishonest when they say they are for '#assisteddying' rather than what they really want, #assistedsuicide. And in my experience, none denied their faith.

This has been a socialist project for over a century, well before it was adopted by the National Socialists. Congratulations to all who have fought for so long to embed Shaw’s legacy.
