Matthew Parris is at it again I see. Nothing does more for the cause of assisted dying like saying euthanising the old and infirm is a 'good thing' because we can't afford to care for them.

Re: Thursday 28th March 2024
Ok so I've just watched a clip from last weeks QT where Rod Liddle gets schooled by a school counsellor when he tries to claim mental health problems aren't caused by poverty because poor people in poorer countries are much happier than we are. I read the same study he was referring to and he's fact...
