It’s easy when you’re an obscure band to bellow “kill your local MP” or bray “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”.

Yeah, pretty much. Very few people would argue against stopping killing Gazan civilians (even if they are not willing to back the measures that would result in that, like applying real presure to Israel), that makes it a fairly apolictial thing to say. Advocating killing MPs or supporting Iranian proxies is certainly a lot more contencious.

Thanks for showing what a lovely person you are so clearly. Off to the blocklist you go.

I’d like that too! But that is completely separate to this bill. All this bill does is allow people who are in severe pain and about to die in less than half a year to get assistance in ending their lives if they dont have the capacity to do it themselves.

Thats it.

If your argument is that the world isnt already perfectly equitable and so we shouldnt make anything better until it is perfectly equitable then I completely disagree. I think that is a recipe for never improving peoples lives and just a way to get angry at the system without doing anything to improve it.

Huh? This my only account I dont even know who you are paranoidly accusing me of being a sock puppet for.

For the record I disagree with you (and that wasnt clear from your previous post), but thats a resonable concern to have.

comparing someone to hitler is not.

As to the substance of your concerns, do you think that doesnt happen now? There are plenty of deaths of dispair in the world currently. This bill does absolutely nothing either way for someone who becomes paralysed, loses their job and puts a gun to their own head. What it does do is allow people who are going to die immenently have the peace of mind that if it becomes unbearble to them they will be able to end their life even if they cant physically manage it any more.

I just dont see how providing assistance to die for those who require it has any bearing on people who end their lives due to financial hardship, would you want to go back to making suicide a crime?

I honestly cant tell what argument you are trying to make. Yes the world can be a shit place with people suffering and dying for the profit of others, but what does that have to do with legislation being put in place for people - in intolerble pain, with less than six months to live and have been judged by independent review and to be of sound mind and uncoerced - being assisted if they choose to wnd their life?

As to you being the “despised voice” not unless the other comment was from your sock puppet. They were comparing Starmer to Hitler by calling him Sturmer, despite him not having anything to do with this bill. I do in fact see lying about genocide as despicable.

And yet, the overwhelming majority of people in the UK, including disabled people, want this change in the law. So much so that literally every single constituency in the UK has a majority in favour of it, most with 2/3s majorities or more.

The people arguing against it are pretty much all religious groups, often with funding from the USA, who are being coy about their motives. They often dont anounce that the same groups protesting this are the same groups who advocate against abortion for example.

And yet still you still get people like the tanky replying on this page trying to make out that this is kier starmer (who did nothing to promote this bill other than vote in its favour) personally organising a genocide of disabled people for the profit of American pharma companies.
