Keep it light: Assisted Suicide update and when is hypocrisy acceptable? Plus best bits of 2024
Manage episode 456624816 series 1573684
On Friday, 29th November, Members of Parliament voted in favour of a bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales. Phil, who is part of Not Dead Yet, an organisation that opposed the bill, gives us an update. He was also at the demonstration outside Westminster Palace.
On our last podcast, our guest Peter Torres Fremlin said that sometimes, as disabled advocates, we need to mature and accept people’s motives, which might not be the same as ours, but a win is a win. We debate some moments of possible recent hypocrisy, i.e. funding for Not Dead Yet and the Shaw Trust Power 100 awards.
We talk about our favourite podcast of this year, plus our most listened-to show and what our best moment of disability inclusion was. All wrapped up in a bow, this is our present to you this Christmas. Thank you for listening and your support.
