I simply cannot believe that the time available to MPs to debate a decision that could led to thousands of people receiving state assistance in ending their lives prematurely is… 5 hours.
Nor that an argument currently doing the rounds in parliament to win over uncertain MPs is that we “already have” outstanding palliative care in the UK, so nobody fails to receive the best care. We do not. We are so, so far from it. UK palliative care in 2024 is a desperately under-resourced Cinderella service and this is causing untold avoidable suffering for patients who sometimes long to end their lives because WE failed to fund the care that might make life still worth living.
Fix that first - please - then talk about assisted dying.
Please don’t ignore or disbelieve what those of us who work in palliative care witness daily.

🗞️Midweek read!
🚶♀️The upper end of High Street sees hundreds of thousands pass by every year on their way to Glasgow Cathedral. It should be stuffed with independent shops and cafes.
Instead traders say they've literally been left to rot. But, by who? glasgowbell.co.uk/glasgows-oldes…

@JohnWMacPherson @Antihippy I suspect he wrote that after seeing this dreadful photograph of himself! 😄 Understandable!

Is this a real photograph, or a computer generated image? It's so smeary looking

That only people from a demographic can write about it. I think it's a pretty destructive pov.
Btw the term 'leftist' is fucking bullshit too
Kittenfish💖@Kittenfish817
As a leftist, is there anything you’ve seen that can be considered woke that you actually think is bad?

@kavanpstafford Also that art is it's own reward. You see this belief held sincerely, as opposed to a means of exploitation & oppression, a lot more in left circles than right

Weird how our associations are built up. Most people associate silent film as just amusing comedy & short films of trains

@JohnWMacPherson @CivicLilly1 Tbh I'm unsure. I think it's the colourisation that makes it look fake (cos it is). Although I could be wrong... I'd have to reverse image search but I'm on my phone & it's just before I send the little darlings to bed!

@Antihippy @CivicLilly1 I wasn't sure if it was AI - what do you reckon?
English

@JohnWMacPherson @CivicLilly1 I believe it's a colourised one. And it's not Halloween it's a historical folk festival. Although I can't remember which & which country. Bavarian maybe, I've seen the image before
English

@CivicLilly1 Well Petr Válek does that sort of 'mask/surreal'
work, but this *looks* AI so either done by him or a fan, but if it is AI its 'learned' from his stuff which is floating about online - see here (sort of Roger Ballen on hallucinogenics vibe!)

Tam Shepherds, a Glasgow institution since 1886, have closed their joke shop, believed to be the world's oldest, due to high costs and redevelopment in the area. The good news is their online shop remains open. I'm sure many of you have fond memories of visiting this wee place.
