This is the problem with Assisted Dying policies that are implemented without sufficient policies to ensure a right to care or a dignified life.

A Canadian man waited a year for treatment for end of life care only to get denied.

The ivy enfolded grave guardians of Ashcourt necropolis exist in lithic time. We flicker and fizz in their slow seeing. For the most part we hardly register. When we do, we are trespassing ghosts. Edge of eye phantoms moving against the speed of stone. – #CLNolan

If you turn up go to watch a Boxing Day hunt parade you are directly responsible for facilitating fox hunting.

'God is merciful': Gov. Hochul to sign bill allowing medically assisted death in NY She says she's requested some changes from state lawmakers before she signs off on the measure.

Disabled people tried to warn you

We pleaded you to see the eugenics of the “let it rip” strategy & the rise of Assisted Dying policies

A death with dignity can’t be provided when there’s no guarantee of life with dignity

In Canada, you can get MAiD in less time than it takes to see a specialist

Some claim the Clapperclaw comes from villagers forced from their homes by the clearances of medieval sheep barons or landowners wanting stately parks. A summoning of an old carrion god to bring a vengeance on greed. In this, a remembrance of folklore as ache for justice. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore

Flooded and forgotten: the UK’s waters are rising and we’re being kept in the dark | John Harris Rescue operations in Wales, submerged railway lines in Cornwall – these events are ever more common. So why have we utterly failed to prepare, asks Guardian columnist John Harris

In this #ClimateEmergency, UK is failing on #ClimateAdaptation

"Builders, councils & water companies are getting “up to a standard that’s fit for today, not for 2070 or 2080, when we’re going to see much more extreme weather” (when they manage that!)

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

No. Cutting down trees, grinding them up, shipping them across the Atlantic and then burning them is NOT "green".

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.
