It's not as if the United Kingdom as it stands right now isn't a depressing enough place that the base of the cliffs of Dover shouldn't be covered with bodies flung off the ledges above.

I mean, it really is a dystopian nightmare of proportions almost that bad.

'Almost' being the operative word.

As they tramp down the path of Orwellian fascism, I guess it's a help that the state - one doggedly determined member of Parliament (MP) in particular - wants to spare you the second or two of regret you might have mid-air off a cliff and, instead, let the state put you out of your misery like an unwanted pooch.

Kim Leadbeater is the MP leading the charge for 'reforming the archaic' assisted suicide laws in Parliament. She started ramping up her arguments to revamp and expand the existing statutes in October last year when she announced she'd be introducing what's known as a 'private members bill.'

Allowing terminally ill people to end their lives would not lead to a "slippery slope" of widening eligibility criteria, an MP pushing for the law has insisted. 

Kim Leadbeater told Sky News there is a misconception that in countries where assisted dying has been introduced, the scope has been broadened over time.

The MP for Spen Valley is today introducing a private members bill on the matter, saying the current law is "not fit for purpose".

The proposal would allow terminally ill, mentally competent people to end their own life.

Asked about the "slippery slope" argument, Ms Leadbeater said: "Wherever a law has been introduced in other countries and it's got strict limited criteria with proper safeguards and protections, it hasn't been widened. So there is a perception that's the case but it isn't the case.

Perception is reality, though, isn't it? Particularly 'slippery slope-wise'? 

Looks slippery from here after being 'expanded' in, say, Canada.

A Canadian army veteran and former Paralympian said she was offered euthanasia after enquiring about installing a disabled lift in her home.

...Speaking to The Telegraph, Ms Gauthier, who requires a wheelchair because of irreversible injuries from her time in the military, said after initially submitting her request for the disabled equipment in 2018, in 2022 a VAC employee “called me to make a point of where we’re at [with the lift]”.

She continued: “And I said, I just can’t keep going like this. I can’t keep living like this. Like, this has to be done. This has to be resolved.”

“And the person stated, ‘You know, Madame Gauthier, if you really feel you can’t go on like this, if you feel that you can’t do it anymore, you know, you have the right to die?’”

Other British MPs must have had Canada on their minds as they worked towards a vote on Leadbeater's bill in November. There were vociferous arguments against it, even before she stepped on her own message of scrupulous safeguards before 'terminally ill, mentally competent' people were allowed to take their own lives.

In an interview, as a vote drew near, Leadbeater said, well, sure. Feeling like a financial burden to your family was a legitimate reason to have the state help you off yourself, too.

She seems nice.

Kim Leadbeater has suggested that fearing being a burden could be a “legitimate reason” to seek an assisted death.

The comments by the Labour MP, who is advancing a Bill to legalise assisted dying for the terminally ill, have fuelled concerns about how strong the safeguards in her proposed legislation will be.

When asked if people could choose an assisted death because they felt like a burden, Ms Leadbeater stated there was “an argument” for personal choice.

The MP added that she “wouldn’t want to be a burden”.

All hell broke loose over that, and it's been a scrum ever since to let the state let people kill themselves. 

Fast forward to the present, and the bill is still mired in controversy - as it should be - with most of the problems caused by MP Leadbeater's inexplicable determination to make it easy for someone to indulge in state-sanctioned suicide. Even with her managing to pack the committee responsible for reviewing the individual sections of the bill with supporters, it's gone nowhere due to confusion and controversy.

...The shoddiness of the drafting of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which would legalise assisted suicide in England and Wales, has become all too apparent during the committee stage, where 23 MPs are currently scrutinising it line by a line. Leadbeater had hoped that six of the bill’s 43 clauses would have been approved in last week’s sessions, but MPs are still yet to clear the very first clause.

Regardless of your view on assisted suicide, you might have hoped that, given the subject matter, the process of legislating would have been sombre, balanced and considered. This is not, after all, any regular bill. The social ramifications are huge.

Her assurances of the highest level of scrutiny/safeguards have fallen apart as she suddenly pulled the requirement for a high court judge's approval of a 'suicide' and substituted what they're derisively calling a 'death panel.' 

Kim Leadbeater has said her assisted dying bill for England and Wales will still have the strongest safeguards in the world despite the removal of a requirement for scrutiny from a high court judge. Opponents derided the change as “rushed and badly thought out”.

The Labour MP’s decision to replace signoff by a court with an expert panel including a lawyer, psychiatrist and social worker caused significant alarm among MPs who had voted for the bill on the basis that a high court judge would oversee each case.

Leadbeater then tried to calm the outrage by claiming 'experts' had advised her this was the correct procedure. The experts she'd consulted and cited begged to differ, saying that's not what they told her at all.

Leadbeater also never bothered checking with those who were being tapped to approve the execution requests how they felt about doing so. It turns out these human beings are not so keen on wearing black hoods for her and Labour.

And so Kim Leadbeater's bill of death continues to unravel before our eyes.
Once the reality of delivering a National Suicide Service hits home, it becomes clear that very few actually want to be involved in it.
First High Court judges, then psychiatrists, now social workers. https://t.co/UJ8v9esWvG

You want Granny dead to save a few farthings? Off her yourself, MP.

Good for them.

There is also the lingering stench of loopholes in Leadbeater's bill allowing people who feel themselves to be 'a burden' to off themselves to salve their consciences, whether their concerns are legitimate or not.

WTF - This death bill is beginning to look like a cost cutting exercise.

Choose to die so your relatives don’t have to sell your house to pay for your care when you get ill.

What is it with progressives, globalists, and their determined Malthusian pursuits?

...There was a revealing moment during last week’s parliamentary debates. Under repeated, pointed questioning from two of her fellow committee members, Leadbeater refused to confirm whether patients who feel like a financial burden on others would be approved for an asssisted suicide. She was asked outright, yes or no, but she couldn’t answer.

Of course she couldn’t, because that would have involved conceding that her bill is dangerous, in that it cannot protect vulnerable people at the very moment when they most need the protection of the law. Do we really want to create a society where we tell terminally ill patients that it’s okay to die if it saves money for their family? Proponents of assisted suicide seem to have no idea of the horrors they are unleashing.

The British government and their globalist overlords might well be delighted with that very thing - dying to save money.

And isn't it odd how when you scratch the loudest and worst of these progressive legislators who are into killing people to save them while saving the planet and not the people, what you find underneath their lizard scales?

Exactly eugenicist Bill Gates' ex-employee Kim Leadbeater just following orders 🤯 https://t.co/zLNaONZvs6
