I am obliged, as m' learned friends put it, to A. N. Wilson for reporting yet another piece of outrageous legislation about to be sneaked through parliament. However, those of a pink and delicate political complexion should be warned that the link takes you to, horror of horrors, the Daily Mail.
In his article Wilson informs us that in October British hospitals will be able to start killing us. Not by their usual method of infecting patients with germs propagated in their filthy wards and passed on by the lazy slummocks who pretend to be nurses, no, from October they will be permitted, legally, to bump us off! I have a fair number of people visiting this blog but I bet hardly any of you knew this was about to happen. Apparently, this legislation will go through on the nod unless an MP insists on a debate. Well, I suppose some of you are thinking, if you're old and in pain and incurable, a nice quick jab in the arm and it's all over.
If, indeed, that is what you are thinking then you sadly underestimate the unfeeling cruelty of our beloved NHS ('The Envy of the World' - except no-one copies it!) What they will do under this new law is starve you of all food and water so that you die of thirst. As Wilson presciently points out, after a few years, and as complaints concerning this particular method of murder build up, the killers in the Euthanasia Movement will tut-tut and tell us that it would be very much better if people were given lethal injections. Thus, they will have achieved their objective.
So, if the abortionists don't get you at one end of your existence, the euthanasionists will get you at the other end, provided some murderous yob doesn't get you in the middle!
"it would be very much better if people were given lethal injections": on the principle that you wouldn't let your dog die of thirst, that must be true. The objection to the proposal should be that they'll kill you for trivial reasons. Pity the old biddies with neither husband nor children to protect them. It's not a big change in spelling, the National Death Service.

In an example of hope over expectation I have e-mailed my local MP asking if *he* intends to do anything. I'll not hold my breath!
