What a bullying knob he is.
He's lucky the bloke didnt just punch him. Not that the bloke should punch him, but there are plenty who would. And it would be hard to say it wasnt deserved.

“I’m going to follow you until you say you support them.”

10 seconds later, stops following him.

Isn’t that harassment btw? Surely the police should be involving themselves?

Yes

Clearly a lot of menace in it too.

It's so unbelievably cruel. Just means ferrying very sick people to Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, or other civilised parts of the world, now

Do they have assisted dying? I thought the nearest option was Switzerland.

Sad day to see us not take the assisted dying bill further.

Really feel for those who in agony who want out of this place.

The Channel Islands are soon to introduce it I believe - it’s already been voted in. I don’t know about the Isle of Man.

You need to approach Dignitas early on in person (unaccompanied ) to make that viable. It’s little good to those of us who have a disastrous accident or sudden onset illness and so there are only a few conditions that suit that timeline with unrelenting certainty.

A total of 43 British people in 2025 chose that path. One a week.

I’m convinced my Dad will want this one day. Although I am personally against it. But he is going to likely need me to be involved. I stick it to the back of my mind and try not to think about it.

Yeah, its a devolved issue. This today was only about England and Wales (though unconstitutionally Scottish and Irish MPs voted on it).

Its legal in many civilised countries now - France, Spain etc.

I think Switzerland is just known for making it easy for tourists too, as well as their native population

I think I might just save 30-40 ecstacy tablets for my day and go with a bang

You’ll probably wake up the next morning.

You will if you buy them where I live

What a horrible country we are

Sadly it is nothing new

Hell, there are people there who lose their brick over a fudging hair colour....

It is not my island. But Billionaires Island will come to pass. In fact, it is progress already. These tacos think they can ride out the apocalypse in their bunkers. They are just building tombs for themselves.

My opinion is that wealth should be capped, and anything over a certain amount should be punitively taxed so that it becomes pointless to pursue. Billionaires are a mistake.

Superbly articulated. Thank you.
