Assisted Dying
Today the assisted dying bill of Lord Falconer is returning to the House of Posh Fuck. But don’t be swayed by the pomp and the circumstance. Don’t be swayed by the pains of people who are depressed, in pain, or who simply cannot do what they did last year. They call this an assisted dying bill, but its class war, in the poisonous atmosphere of welfare reform, this bill is about legalising murder. Now the doughty ship Britannia is actually slamming into the iceberg, this bill is so bloody dangerous in these troubled times, that it infact heralds a human rights atrocity. The seething mamser Grayling cannot wait to get us out of the European Court of Human Rights. The present toolbox have total disrespect for human rights, rightly they are now under investigation by the United Nations for ‘grave violations’: http://4bitnews.com/uk/united-nations-launches-investigation-grave-violations-disabled-britain/ The assisted dying bill has not simply appeared…

The assisted dying bill is indeed alarming.
The state has only just – after so many decades of poor comprehension about the dying process in medicine – got rid of the Liverpool Care Pathway, called DNR.
Hospital policy was that you cannot demand treatment and treatment includes food and water. Look about you in a hospital ward. Most patients can walk about. Yet no mains water tap available to patients. The water jugs were not universally available. And why waste so much of ever dwindling nurses’ time, in trying to give a single drink of water, in the drying atmosphere of hospital wards.
The LCP / DNR was to deny food and water and treatment for the presenting problem. As seen with the starvation caused by welfare reform, it can take a month to starve to death and many weeks to die from lack of water.
Some media purported that hospital funding relied on how much of a percentage of patients were on the LCP / DNR.
There was no law enforcing full consent for the LCP/DNR by patients. Doctors could just put one on, because they felt like it.
Medicine does not comprehend multiple health conditions, nor the specialist field of elderly patients, and training in the death process is not mandatory and universal.
That is what happens when politicians and desk managers run a medical facility.
The NHS is not just suffering the problems of privatisaiton, but loss of being run direct by the senior medical consultants, who have the knowledge of medicine.
Assisted dying is what welfare reform already is. I did not pursue after 2 years of even trying to start the process of applying for disability / chronic sick benefit, when I heard from several sources about the oft heart attacks during assessments, that are a gruelling 45 minute interrogation, which if survive after being taken to hospital, you still get benefit sancitoned, and still get a phone interview from the DWP whilst awaiting life-sustaining surgery. Stress kills, so calling someone up with a near dead heart can also be described as assisted dying.
Be disabled, chronic sick, unemployed, no benefit, turned 60 no state pension, on a tiny works pension within the lowest 4 per cent of poverty, in a frozen unheated house from unaffordable energy bills. I died 2 years ago and need tablets to keep me alive. Do I trust a politician led NHS when so much of welfare reform is about leaving people to starve?
Nope.
