If this is correct, I am disappointed. I rather respect Tom Shakespeare, even though I entirely disagree with him on this particular issue. He's every right to be connected to DiD but he should declare it where relevant ( as e.g. here).
Dignity in Dying’s annual reports reveal a key tactic - establishing groups like “Disabled Activists for DiD”. Turns out oral witness Dr Tom Shakespeare was a “distinguished supporter”. His relationship with DiD was not disclosed. That part of DiD website now deleted 1/

Even if one is online ( as I obvs am) I don't buy the ' for your convenience ' lime. Sometimes it is more convenient: too often it's about getting us to do things they used to do for us.
Digitalisation is “for your convenience.” - try explaining that to the 3 million+ people who are not online in the UK. The majority (67%) are aged 70 or over. The digitalisation of everything is creating digital exclusion for millions of people - in particular, the elderly.

Wise man, old Uncle Max.
"Parliamentary monarchy fulfills a role which an elected president never can. It formally limits the politicians’ thirst for power because with it the supreme office of the state is occupied once and for all.” Max Weber

@JeremySparkes @PictureSporting Jacob Rees Mogg used to play cricket in a cap (Eton colours, maybe?- blue and black) that made him look even more like Cuthbert Cringeworthy than ever.

@therealsjpf @E_N_O @meenamtj Saw it on Tuesday ( apparently the King was there too!) and it was * wonderful*. State of constant laughter bubbling under, esp in the second half. A delight.

Sometimes when I am lying in bed I stick my hand up in the air and swoop it about, opening out and closing the fingers, and pretend it is an aerobatic display team. See, we *can* still make our own entertainment.
