Coverage of the Boat Race on the Beeb will forever more look shit compared to when they let Seann Walsh present it pissed. Personally I thought it was an experiment they should have extended to presenters of other sports...& maybe current affairs.

On 25/3 the Charity Commission dismissed a complaint against the toxic Institute for Economic Affairs made by three MPs and a former Board Member because it 'will rarely intervene when allegations of political bias are made, from whatever angle.'

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, one thing I’d hoped we’d all agree on is that the topic is ethically fraught & complex.

Not so Matthew Parris.

For him, it’s simple. Old & frail people *should* be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n

First Matthew Parris wants to crack down on disability benefits. Now he addresses assisted dying saying old & frail people are a burden on society. Until social care & palliative care are available to everybody at a certain level, insensitive talk like this is really frightening.

The worst thing for any argument is Matthew Parris to come out in favour of it.

People want assisted dying so their loved ones can have a more dignified, pain-free death, whereas he just thinks we shouldn't have to bear the financial burden of caring for them anymore 🙄

There are many powerful arguments in favour of AD, but this piece by Matthew Parris couldn’t be more compelling as an argument against.

And that he put it out there, in the mainstream, with not a shred of shame.

The worthy - and the herd to be culled.

I’m sickened. Ends/

Hey All. I have a birthday coming up and I’ve set up a fundraiser for Dementia UK as my mum has dementia. I have an FB one set up too but this is for people without FB!. If anyone is able to share this or donate I’d be over the moon. Thank you 💕 gofundme.com/f/vb67v2-fundr…
