I, Daniel Blake highlighted this shit 8 years ago. Nothing's changed. Still 'conscious cruelty' as Ken Loach was calling it at the time.

Who on Earth is this policy aimed at wooing?

Who seriously thinks "you know who have had it too good for too long? The disabled and the sick!!"

I am strongly in favour of people with mental illnesses getting therapy. I know from personal experience that a proper consultant psychiatrist and his/her team can work wonders. The problem is that there is a shortage of such people and (unless you are a danger to yourself or others) you are likely to have to wait a long time to meet them.

The other thing is that even mentally ill people have to eat and pay rent/mortgages. Anything that diminishes their financial security is likely to make them worse, not better. Maybe the idea is to save money by encouraging suicide.

Suicide is expensive. Around £1.5m costs to society for each suicide, according to Samaritans.

ITV will make it a TV show.

Viewers get to vote on who deserves assisted suicide presented by Ant and Dec. The cost of voting via the premium text number covers the bills and makes a tidy profit for the production company.
