An upright photo of a strange ice structure that looks like strands of white hair. It is lodged in and on some dead wood in the forest.
#ourworldiswonderful; I leave you this evening with a picture of an unusual phenomenon. This is hair ice, a strange result of a combination of a certain fungus, Exidiopsis effusa, in wood that's rotting, mixed with humid air and temperatures just below freezing. Pretty, isn't it?

It has NOT been rushed, it's been going through the stages for years! And some folk don't die quickly, they live for years in agony. All I'm looking for is real compassion. I'm not in that boat. I watched someone I loved go through the process and she died without me being able to be there for her.

Take South East Water into public ownership NOW
South East Water has failed households in Kent and Sussex. It is time to bring it into public ownership.
Water privatisation has failed
South East Water spent more on shareholder dividends than on infrastructure
Now the taps aren't working in Kent and Sussex
Emma Reynolds and Ofwat, bring South East Water into public ownership immediately

Simply take some pills? A person confined to bed by illness lacks that choice. Side effects of morphine? Addiction. Psychosis. And the fact they simply stop working. I'm curious; why is it so important to you that this Bill, designed to give comfort and dignity to dying people, fails?

You repeated it. Your argument ignores the vital issue of personal choice. What gives a Government the right to determine how and when we decide to end our lives? Understanding compassion means understanding, for some individuals, being made to continue to exist in a malfunctioning body is torture.

The foreground shows two wide, long fields sown with crops just emerging from the ground. The horizon displays the trees growing along the edges of the fields and the whole landscape lies under a pale blue sky bearing soft, white clouds.
#ourworldiswonderful; I leave you tonight with a shot taken in the flat countryside of Holderness in East Yorkshire with a wide winter sky above those fields of crops.

This is cynical propaganda.
Calling real peopleโs pain โengineered chaosโ is obscene.
Minneapolis didnโt manufacture this crisis, your partyโs policies and rhetoric did.
Smearing communities and inventing conspiracies is how you avoid responsibility.
