doing some research on Kevorkian.
his first nine “patients” that he killed?
all of them were women.
this piece reports that from 90-98 71% of his cases were women. Only 25% had terminal illness. Five patients had no anatomical evidence of disease at autopsy.

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.
3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.
Yes – and driverless taxis show how anachronistic it is to let militant unions keep holding Londoners to ransom at the expense of millions of passengers. Time to break their stranglehold.

A remarkable and deeply moving photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, 106 years ago on Tuesday 11th November 1919.
The first time a grieving nation held its collective breath.
Lest we forget.
Excellent piece from @eddavies_ on online harms, protections (or rather, lack of) and the duty we owe to young people 👇

The “Conversion Practices” bill would essentially make voicing a Christian view on sexuality / marriage / gender impossible
The bill is NOT fit for purpose in a UK which claims to be “tolerant” and “inclusive” 🇬🇧👇👇👇

I really think people need to wake up to just how draconian this bill is before it's too late.
Labour’s ‘conversion therapy’ bill is an Orwellian nightmare. Parents can be jailed for questioning a child’s ’trans identity’. ‘Deadnaming’ will also be criminalised. It is sinister, says Andrew Tettenborn

Most people have barely heard of the proposed conversion therapy legislation.
69% have never heard of it.
23% have heard of it but know no details.
Just 4% say they know about it in detail.
A strikingly low level of public awareness for such a contentious proposal.

Just 6% of those initially backing an extension of conversion therapy laws would continue to support it across ALL 15 scenarios tested.
76% would oppose the law if at least one of those scenarios could lead to police investigation or criminal charges.
