On Friday November 7th the ‘Assisted Dying Bill’ returns to the House of Lords to be debated and amended line by line.
We have to show the Lords, the public and the media that disabled people do not want to give doctor’s the power to end our lives. We do not want the state sanctioned killing of old, ill and disabled people of all impairments.
We do not want to legalise assisted suicide.
This Bill is not safe!
We want support to live, not to die.
We have to stop this before it begins.
If we don’t, who will be next?
We have no choice but to protest.
Not Dead Yet UK plans to be outside the Lords in a show of opposition that no one will want to miss.
We’ll be gathering from 8 am at the Methodist Central Hall where the cafe will be open and there are accessible toilets.
From there, we’ll be making the 5 minute push to the statue of George V, opposite the Houses of Parliament, Abingdon Street, London, SW1P 3JY (where we were last time).
We know this is early for many of us but please, if you can get there at any time before 10.30 am, please join us. If you’ll be arriving after 9 am, go straight to the George V statue.
We should be finished by 11 am at the very latest.
If you need support – financial or otherwise, it may be possible for us to help out. Please contact us on: 0797 0959791
This is a matter of life and death – please join us on the 7th November to say Kill the Bill, Not Us!

What are you playing at? Are you god-squad polluted or just into protracted suffering? There will be no way for doctors to kill anyone, there will however be a way for folk who’re in too much pain, or too much boredom (imagine a broken neck!) to continue to gain legitimate assistance in bailing out of their negative existence, You’ve got to be godsquad, it takes verbally transmissible lunacy to be so blind. Religion is these days the only grouping that has a long term history of inflicting suffering on the unwilling – it’s measurable in centuries .. Do you get a kick out of cruelty – or do you just imagine the cruelty your god would inflict on you for allowing folk to escape ‘his’ penance justifies anything?
I think it’s a done deal. Read this article from 2012 Scottish Universities Medical Journal,
Dundee:
about teaching medical students euthanasia skills and also “The undergraduate curriculum is already overloaded and it is possible that aspects of palliative care teaching would be sacrificed to make way for teaching on how best to end the life of patients.”
