@mjmatthews000 And that goes for every MAN who murders or rapes women in a position of power. That’s not just limited to the MET as I’m sure you well know.

@RachelCrossan It's hard to stand behind the most corrupt and inept police service in the UK. Especially when they have the likes of Wayne Couzens in their ranks. Pigs the lot of em.
English
Finally standing behind their officers 👏🏻
Metropolitan Police@metpoliceuk
Our brave officers confronted a man they believed to be a terrorist, who refused to show his hands, who was violent, and who continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.
English
@mjmatthews000 Well it’s rare and they should standby their officers instead of sacking them, which is the norm these days. I’m seeing more people concerned that a terrorist was kicked in the head than two people being stabbed. He should have been shot, alongside WC.

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Deciding when suffering is “enough” isn’t neutral, it’s control.
You are romanticising palliative care. Some terminally ill people want that choice themselves, not when a doctor decides it’s acceptable.
English
@RachelCrossan @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance You appear to have a confused understanding of what happens in palliative care. A doctor - not a nurse - authorises drugs. You seem unaware of the Principle of Double Effect.
English
Today I will turn on the Lords to hear the moment the assisted dying runs out of time with a profound sense of relief and thankfulness that so many Lords and MPs put the interests of disabled and vulnerable people over individualism, and refused to rubberstamp a law full of holes
English
@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance I understand the distinction albeit irrelevant. Calling it the “principle of double effect” doesn’t change the outcome actions are taken knowing they may hasten death.
If someone already wanted that, it’s still assisting, just on a doctor’s timeline, not the patient’s.
English
@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Are you listening to yourself? If I wanted to die two months before I was sedated, as I knew I had less than 6 months to live how is it absolutely fine for a palliative nurse to make that call on sedating me because my pain is unmanageable but me who is sound mind isn’t?
English
@RachelCrossan @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Assisting people dying is not the same as assisting them to commit suicide.
English
@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Call it what you like, but they are 100% assisting somebody dying. The only difference is who’s in control and it’s not the patient - which some would argue is worse. Once they are sedated, they can’t eat or drink and nobody is trying to keep them alive.
English
@RachelCrossan @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Of course there’s sedation. Plus the Principle of Double Effect.
Sedation isn’t assisting someone to commit suicide.
English
@Jellefant @regan_gil @antoniabance Genuinely blows my mind the lack of empathy shown towards you and anyone else who just wanted a choice. A truly sad day but we’ll continue to campaign and get there one day.

English
@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance You’re calling it assisted suicide, but end-of-life sedation already happens in hospice care. Let’s be honest about that.
English
@Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance An ill thought out response.
My local hospice provided magnificent assistance to my dying wife.
They didn't help her to commit suicide.
There's a difference.
English
@Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Everybody deserves a right to die with dignity and I’m sorry you were let down today.
English
@ontheseislands @antoniabance I’m dying. What I need is the right to treatment under assisted dying. Remember you are contributing to devastating consequences for thousands of us when you believe you’re doing good.
English
@regan_gil @Jellefant @antoniabance And the worst part whenever anyone dies in those circumstances and what do most people say? “We are just grateful they aren’t in anymore pain” why are any of us grateful when they could have had a choice.
English
@regan_gil @Jellefant @antoniabance Palliative care does not make you pain free. My mum was in palliative care and suffered for 18 days, she was never pain free. So what is PC last resort? They will induce sedation where you basically watch someone die for 48 hours. How is any of that dignified?

@liamgallagher Fancy an invite to our wedding in the Cotswolds - December 10th if you aren’t busy? 🙂

@WRyneHall And the most underfunded cancers being researched. I hope we see change. 51 years old is no age and my mum passed away 18 days after diagnosis from it at only 61.

Damn, poor D’Angelo. Almost nobody seems to survive pancreatic cancer long-term. Seems to be one of the most painful cancers too. He deserved better than this.
English
@tinkier @BrowseDeweb @JamesMelville And I’m fully aware after the failing of draining her ascites, she was 100% sedated by the hospice because that’s the only humane way to stop the suffering. She never woke up and died 36 hours after.
English
@tinkier @BrowseDeweb @JamesMelville District nurse palliative care for 5 days, hospice for 3 days, hospital for 7 days and then back to hospice for 3 days where she died. While everyone thinks morphine or various opioids are great for palliative care, cancer like my mums was complex and she wasn’t ever pain free.

The Assisted Dying Bill should be replaced with a better end-of-life care Bill. It shouldn’t be about assisted dying. It should be about assisted living.
