But nationalism is a powerful tool and delusion can easily take hold." Isn't that last part the damn truth.

leicsmac Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 A while back I expressed the desire that Alex Jones end up slipping into the most obscure and impoverished ignominy possible. I'm glad to see that it might now actually happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 On 02/08/2022 at 20:15, Wymsey said: Entirely agree. A patient on our LRI ward had been at 'end of life' for a month earlier in the year. The patients' relatives really begged the Consultants to keep him alive whilst the family paid their respects (but, also, they were convinced that his condition could be turned around - despite his kidneys only working at 5% and his heart-rate being severely low), but they eventually agreed that it was sadly the end for the patient. If it was my own family member, I'd obviously want them to keep them alive as much as possible; but, on the other hand, would rather they died naturally than keep them alive for longer until they potentially could've had an unnecessary long and painful death experience. I’m perfectly happy for NHS doctors to end the lives of some of my family - and they’re currently having breakfast in Devon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

String fellow Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 (edited) It's exactly 20 years since the Soham murders. Ian Huntley isn't yet even half-way through his 40-year minimum prison term. Let's hope that the creep dies in jail before he ever gets parole. Edited 4 August 2022 by String fellow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
