Today would have been my mum’s birthday instead she’s gone after a covid induced stroke acquired from my father due an outbreak in his nursing home. They died, last year, within days of each other. Masks in healthcare settings would have saved both their lives. #CovidStillKills

“If the purpose of safeguarding is to ensure that no one who might otherwise want to live is ‘assisted’ to die, then palliative care is an essential safeguard.” By me in The House magazine 👇

What’s the difference?

On Assisted death as 'medical treatment', Canadian experts warn the UK: "If it's medical treatment there's an ethical obligation to raise it with people" "If it's medical treatment, how can you deny it to anyone?... This framing has led to a hugely expansive regime in Canada"

On 23 December 1997, as Tony Blair planned cuts to health and disability benefits, a demo that he never forgot began. Protesters in wheelchairs chained themselves to the gates of Downing Street and daubed red paint – spelling “Blair’s blood” writetothem.com TO YOUR MP

Well said Tanni Grey-Thompson. The crossbench peer, who won 11 Paralympic gold medals, told Times Radio: “If you are disabled and terminally ill and your benefits are cut, making life intolerable, it’s obvious more people will feel forced down this route to end their lives early.”

Canada too. 🙃

Also in print in today's Times. Baroness Grey-Thompson: "If you are disabled and terminally ill and your benefits are cut, making life intolerable, it's obvious more people will feel forced down this route to end their lives early". From Theo Usherwood

@[email protected] Canadian here. Please do not allow them to push this under the guise of “dignity in death“. In order for that to happen you need to give someone dignity in life first.

So anyway, it's important to remember that eugenicists often like to come across like they're being compassionate in order to get more people on their side. Remember this whenever you see euthanasia advocates and governments pushing for the further legalization of euthanasia.

@[email protected] You mean push voluntary Aktion T4 hard?Like creating the conditions so that the disabled have no hope of a future so they volunteer for the meat grinder of euthanasia that their doctors are so eagerly willing to push upon them?Nice little forth reich they cultivated in the west🤬

Gno @[email protected] I suspect even some ppl in the T4 program were begging die to escape the starvation and horrible conditions forced on them.

It’s coming. For the last year, the pro-euthanasia propaganda has been ramping up. It is being ACTIVELY marketed to people.

Canada already has. It's easier to get access to MAID than it is to find resources for accessible housing & social assistance.

many reports of UK hospices facing cuts + closures—tightly linked with assisted su*cide bill. >100,000 ppl in the UK die each yr w/o receiving good palliative care + 215,000 ppl die w/o *any* palliative care. they want to euthanise ppl instead of improving palliative care b/c £££

There are higher costs to living with long term or permanent conditions, the cost is felt more sharply over time, the impoverished has long term consequences. £393 pm Lords get £300 per day, can sign in, get subsidised food, fall asleep, leave.

It’s not covered by any private medical insurance policies I read several years ago.

Once again we are short staffed due to sickness. And once again I refuse to go out of my way to solve it for them. “Can you stay longer today?” “Nope I’m working my scheduled shift and no more” I’m the only one who masks & am rarely sick🤷‍♀️ #MaskUp #airborneviruses

This 6 months of mask accessorising has been a revolutionary concept in style while not catching or spreading diseases or breathing in pollution. Wish I’d done it forever.
