The BBC is always open to giving the pro-Euthanasia lobby as much publicity as possible and they do not disappoint today with this new report. (They love death like we love life.) As is the case in this report, it is simply advocacy for the pro-death brigade. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

It all seems so plausible. Families with children will be hardest hit by tax and benefit changes aimed at cutting the deficit, a charity argues. The Family and Parenting Institute (FPI) says the average income of households with children will drop by 4.2% between 2010-11 and 2015-16, the equivalent of £1,250 a year. Thank goodness for the FPI, right? I mean it is doing us all a favour in exposing the … Continue reading
