MPs have voted for Kim Leadbeater’s Assisted Dying Bill on its second reading. Despite all the warnings from around the world, a majority voted for the Labour MP’s private member’s Bill to legalise what should more properly be called assisted suicide, but which would most likely have received much less support if it had not relied on cosy euphemisms for what is essentially the State helping dying people to kill themselves.

THE forthcoming General Election means that several pieces of legislation may fall, not least the government’s Criminal Justice Bill to which amendments have been attached which would have disastrous effects on society: the decriminalisation of abortion, bringing the possible decriminalisation of infanticide in its wake.

By Ann Farmer | 22 May 2024 The BBC documentary, Better Off Dead, could not have been given a more apt title. Presented by disabled actor and comedian Liz Carr, famous for her role in Silent Witness, the programme highlighted the vulnerability of people like her to other people viewing them as “better off dead”. It illustrated, in the starkest terms, that for the disabled, “assisted dying” is a disaster waiting to happen.

The Scottish Parliament is considering “the world’s most extreme buffer zone law”. Gillian MacKay MSP’s Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Bill would impose 200-metre zones around hospitals and clinics (and potentially abortion pill-dispensing GP centres and pharmacies) in which pro-life activity, including silent vigils, is banned. That’s about the length of two football fields. In England and Wales 150-metre zones have been legalised, and 100 metres in Northern Ireland.

A London fertility clinic has had its operating licence suspended owing to what was modestly described as “significant concerns”. The Homerton Fertility Centre has been ordered by the UK’s government fertility regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, to cease new procedures during investigations. The clinic has admitted that there were three separate incidents. “Errors in some freezing processes” had occurred, and “a small number of embryos” had perished or were “undetectable”.

BBC1’s Silent Witness has become embroiled in a ‘one-way racism’ row after a recent episode featured a not-very-inclusive epithet employed by a visibly non-white character against a white one. This is the crime drama series which focuses on solving murders with the help of the ‘silent witness’ – the victim. New arrival Roy Lock, who is black, inquires about Kevin, a white man trying to play basketball with local black characters.

Matthew Parris, a former member of Parliament, is one of the UK’s leading commentators. It has been said that his columns in the London Times and The Spectator are “essential reading by many in Westminster”. So when he talks complete rubbish about “assisted dying”, it’s important to put him right.
