  1. Watched it tonight, fantastic. Was crying with laughter at the scene you mention. "Oh god, now it looks like im cupping the balls!" 😆
  2. Iain McWhiter has an article about this in the Spectator: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/who-would-trust-holyrood-with-legalising-euthanasia/ He mentions a BMA survey of doctors showed that 45% would refuse to participate.
  3. Suicide is what they are doing.
  4. Come on, you have probably done that when drunk.
  5. Good point. There is some grudging allowance made for ppl if they dont want to kill the unborn, but its deeply resented (because it acts as a mirror / reminder for those who do).
  6. Modern pain management is very effective. Intolerable pain isnt typically the reason someone goes to a one of these clinics, its because they fear the decline a terminal illness will ultimately cause. Only about a week ago a case was on the BBC: I'm choosing to seek assisted dying because I refuse to let a terminal illness dictate the terms of my existence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68628274 These people could easily just kill themselves if they really wanted to, but legislation can put many ppl at risk.
  7. It is, of course, a vehicle for getting people to accept the concept of euthanasia which can then be rolled out to wider society. So many people today are so unthinking you wonder is there anything they would ever object to, or would they always just swallow whatever politicians spoon feed them?
  8. Are they, aye? When the day came to end the woman's life, a sedative was put in her coffee and she lost consciousness. But the woman then woke up and had to be held down by her daughter and husband while the process was finished. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49478304 A court ultimately ruled that holding the woman down and killing her was in her "best interests". The husband and daughter clearly wanted shot of her. Years before she had indicated an interest in euthanasia rather than going into a care home (she had alzheimers). This case also raises the question of mental fitness to decide such a thing. Generally speaking, if someone wants to kill themselves then they are clearly mentally ill.
  9. Ha, nice try but doesn't work!
  10. A welcome blast from the past! Been seeing / hearing a lot of the fantastic Keeley Hazell lately too.
  11. Unrealistic Expectations? I thought that was the name of some exotic foreign footballer Jimmy was name dropping, along with Jaap Stam etc.
  12. Thanks I will check that out. A TV series about the Battle of Britain, or the sinking of the Bismarck would be first rate TV. (But the yanks would never make it as its not about themselves and it would be ruined by modern woke shit.)
  13. Is that what that stood for? I never knew that!
  14. A lot of comments are focusing on personal experience / desires / fears and those of our direct family. This isn't a criticism, but I think that's the wrong way to look at it. While our own experience is informative, we shouldn't centre topics like this around ourselves, but rather consider the whole of society - in particular those who will be made most vulnerable by such a law. Like (for example) the doddering auld wives in a care home who, while they aren't out running marathons or anything, are happy and content with coronation street and a weekly visit from their grandkids. They might need a lot of medicine and help to wash themselves, but their heart overflows to see a picture of their grandchild in school uniform, or to be presented with a crayon scrawl from nursery. And while they will not last to see these kids as adults, the children will forever remember their smile and embrace and the feel of their papery thin skin. These are the people we should base our opinions on, not ourselves. Few responses acknowledge the reality of what will happen either, with safeguards soon being ditched - as we all know and can see elsewhere. The nihilistic, pro-death views which abound in secular society are based on dishonesty with the extremes portrayed as everyday cases. They also have a fundamental emptiness at their heart - once you claim that any one part of life is meaningless or "not worth it", that can easily spread to thinking that of all life. Not content with murdering the unborn, we are now gunning for the sick and that will soon spread to the elderly, the disabled and the mentally ill. The Nazis would be proud! I mean, why not just blow the world up and save the individual hassle of having to kill ourselves and each other?
