A society that cares for its disabled citizens *and* offers assisted dying is close to the enlightenment.
A society that does *not* care for its disabled citizens and offers assisted dying is fully fascist.
If you are unaware of how the UK has treated us, look it up.
Fascism loves complacency.

Amazing how the far-right will scream about grooming at trans people & their allies, and at former hotels & their occupants, but when it comes to a real-life victim who was groomed into becoming a child bride, they decide that she isn't fit to be a citizen. "Protect women and girls", is it?
Begum may be 'distasteful', but it is pretty clear she was a victim of grooming and trafficking. The decision to make her defacto stateless is also clearly incompatibile with the principles of international law. Labour doubling down doesn't change that it is bad. 1/2

Yes, there were some bank holidays, but I still required insulin and meds on those bank holidays, contrary to whatever rumours you may have heard.

As I said recently in The Guardian:
"Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them"
So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

JKR being a poor single mum “on welfare” is entirely myth making on her part. She quit her job to finish writing the book, she was on a sabbatical.
You’re right, that is unpopular. And selfish. And greedy.
And let’s so fucking for real - JKR was NEVER an indie author.

Fun fact. "Deck the Halls" was written in the 1970s by Donald Weinauer, outfitter to The Village People.
The phrase "Don Weinauer, Gay Apparel," has brought huge success to his business ever since.

When politicians spread misinformation about disability benefits, the response often accuses them of ignorance.
But it can’t be ignorance.
Because they know the facts, we’ve told them and many others have too.
It’s therefore no longer ignorance, it’s deliberate lying.
