Scots Pol Protests Too Much

That lovable old Scots moon bat Margo MacDonald is all a twitter because the UK’s Care Not Killing Alliance had the temerity to speak the truth – that the ideas currently swirling around assisted suicide and euthanasia are exactly the same mindset that the Nazis inculcated in their citizens in the 1930s. The easy (if illogical) jump made by MacDonald is that CNK is calling her and her ilk Nazis – nice try, but no cigar, Margo.

Assisted Suicide - ‘there’s the rub’

When I was a teenager I was extremely lucky, landing in the middle of a cultural and social revolution. Driving into assembly on the back of a motorbike, having a fling with an unsuspecting English teacher and being desperate to get myself laid at 15 gave me immediate membership to the only club worth joining - the club that was 'the 60s'. Apart from occasional doses of teenage angst, I was what you might call very, ‘alive and kicking’; anything I could kick against, I did. And therein lays the problem - the one about being alive. more
