Carting off the disabled and vulnerable into death pods to save people who have spent their whole lives powerful and comfortable from being ‘embarrassed’ by pain relief reads like something from the darkest Swiftian satire but is in fact the reality of Britain in 2025.

"There are personal and economic incentives to encourage the vulnerable into taking their own lives: this Bill does NOTHING to protect them." - Chi Onwurah 💙 #AssistedDyingBill

'Disabled people were crying — they’re scared, rightly so. We’ve just legislated for a law that puts them at risk.' Fleur Meston reacts to the Assisted Dying Bill passing the Commons, as campaigners were seen 'drinking to death' outside Westminster.

"Now, splendidly, everything had become clear. The enemy at last was plain in view, huge and hateful, all disguise cast off. It was the Modern Age in arms." After this week I feel like Evelyn Waugh at the time of the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939. The politics of 'progress' has

Christians by contrast think human beings are fallen - weak, selfish, dangerous - so we don't trust them with absolute power. That's why over the centuries, especially in England, the idea developed that the law should protect us from each other, and even from ourselves, and
