In Ontario the processing time for sickness benefits is 6+ months. The waiting time for euthanasia is just 3.
Some disabled people in Canada are 'choosing' death as a solution to social problems
@touretteshero looks at waiting times in the UK & compares them to assisted suicide
In your reply you say: there’ll be “stringent safeguards to prevent undue influence or pressure” I’m keen to understand what these are & if they will address social/state/resource pressures like those experienced by sick & disabled Canadians? @TheNotDeadYetUK @thelizcarr 2/3

Based on previously proposed legislation, personal experience and data - November 2024. At the top of the image is a black silhouette of a wheelchair user a black line reaches from them to different types of support in order of how long the wait is likely to be.

Reducing wayfinding for the purposes of advertising is abhorrent.
They tried it with "Burberry Street" and were rightly hounded.
I've asked @TfL to provide the risk assesment they completed with reference to the Equality Act.

Israel has detonated the equivalent of 5 and a half Hiroshima bombs in a strip of land the size of East London.
Suggesting Israel’s mass slaughter is caused by Hamas or anyone else is straightforward atrocity denial.

I can’t say often enough giving it to people who don’t need it was the price of ensuring everyone who did need it got it. Linking it to an inadequate benefit that 800,000 who could claim don’t claim is simply a mistake.

Interview with a women on #C4News who’s concerned because her son can’t get a council house but Asylum seekers get homes etc. it’s pointed out Asylum seekers can’t apply for council housing. Her response ‘I didn’t know that’ - thats the problem! Media & Gov must educate!!

A reminder that, as a Government Minister, Robert Jenrick ordered the Home Office to paint over cartoon murals at a centre for unaccompanied children seeking asylum.
The dehumanisation of migrants doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Own it, and apologise for the part you have played.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.

you’re missing something massive if your broad analysis of why this country is in the state it’s in right now doesn’t include the phrase “in the 2010s, councils saw their funding cut by half”

It seems as if some people think that the 'hostile environment' wasn't hostile enough. What a useful phrase that was.

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10
