⚰️⏳🛑In the grand old tradition of talking everything to death except the things that matter, the House of Lords is once again proving that lethargy is a political strategy. This time? They’re dragging their ceremonial heels on the Right to Die Bill—a proposal that could grant dignity and autonomy to those suffering, but instead finds itself buried under ermine robes and naptime schedules.
🛌 The House of Snores Blocks the Right to Go
It would almost be funny if it weren’t so cruel: a cluster of life-peaked Lords—some half-asleep, some literally wheeled in—are deciding the fate of people who want the right to choose a peaceful, dignified end. The irony’s so thick you could spread it on toast.
These are the same unelected aristocrats who show up just often enough to claim their £332 per day, then vanish like ethics at a lobbying dinner. Now, they’ve taken it upon themselves to delay a law that doesn’t even affect them—unless we’re counting moral superiority as a terminal condition.
Maybe if the bill was about subsidised port or commemorative plaques, it’d fly through. But anything involving real people, real pain, and real compassion? Nope. That’s when the fog descends and “more debate is needed.”
Translation: they’re hoping it quietly dies before the people it’s meant to help do.
🔥 Challenges 🔥
Why do unelected Lords get to deny suffering people the basic right to choose? How did we get a system where the barely active decide the fate of the terminally ill?
