Looking less likely the assisted dying bill will pass in the UK. Slightly more support than not but when it comes down to voting, we'll see.

I hope it does. We really need to have a mature discussion about dignity in death as much as life.

How can it be morally correct to allow someone to suffer and waste away, against their own wishes, instead of leaving on their own terms?

When I'm done, I'm done.

@Evvie and yet The Empire was modelled on Nazi Germany but also America and the British Empires, so I'm not sure we did know. I think the rebels were the "terrorists".

@Rocker aye. I think back to the climate protests by the kids "system change, not climate change"

Then the pandemic put paid to the momentum of those. The kids, it's all about the kids and we fail them FFS.

@Rocker We'll be holding a meeting about a meeting about targets as the world gives it's last breath.

I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free

Wendell Berry

The Peace Of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds

Well that’s a bollox

Are 5 eyes better than 4?

Seems for the next few years most definitely not.

Waterfoot Country Antrim, around 1890

Few more houses but apart from that it really hasn’t changed much. Beautiful spot to watch the waves roll in

@nopuppet_007 aren’t they just! In dull urban streets with dreary British Island skies they just scream at you in a very lovely way.
