Croissant

....A little party never killed nobody.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@mjmatthews000 And that goes for every MAN who murders or rapes women in a position of power. That’s not just limited to the MET as I’m sure you well know.

Finally standing behind their officers 👏🏻

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Our brave officers confronted a man they believed to be a terrorist, who refused to show his hands, who was violent, and who continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@mjmatthews000 Well it’s rare and they should standby their officers instead of sacking them, which is the norm these days. I’m seeing more people concerned that a terrorist was kicked in the head than two people being stabbed. He should have been shot, alongside WC.

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Deciding when suffering is “enough” isn’t neutral, it’s control.

You are romanticising palliative care. Some terminally ill people want that choice themselves, not when a doctor decides it’s acceptable.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance I understand the distinction albeit irrelevant. Calling it the “principle of double effect” doesn’t change the outcome actions are taken knowing they may hasten death.

If someone already wanted that, it’s still assisting, just on a doctor’s timeline, not the patient’s.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Are you listening to yourself? If I wanted to die two months before I was sedated, as I knew I had less than 6 months to live how is it absolutely fine for a palliative nurse to make that call on sedating me because my pain is unmanageable but me who is sound mind isn’t?

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Call it what you like, but they are 100% assisting somebody dying. The only difference is who’s in control and it’s not the patient - which some would argue is worse. Once they are sedated, they can’t eat or drink and nobody is trying to keep them alive.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@Jellefant @regan_gil @antoniabance Genuinely blows my mind the lack of empathy shown towards you and anyone else who just wanted a choice. A truly sad day but we’ll continue to campaign and get there one day.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@PeabodyJer61891 @Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance You’re calling it assisted suicide, but end-of-life sedation already happens in hospice care. Let’s be honest about that.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@Jellefant @ontheseislands @antoniabance Everybody deserves a right to die with dignity and I’m sorry you were let down today.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@regan_gil @Jellefant @antoniabance And the worst part whenever anyone dies in those circumstances and what do most people say? “We are just grateful they aren’t in anymore pain” why are any of us grateful when they could have had a choice.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@regan_gil @Jellefant @antoniabance Palliative care does not make you pain free. My mum was in palliative care and suffered for 18 days, she was never pain free. So what is PC last resort? They will induce sedation where you basically watch someone die for 48 hours. How is any of that dignified?

@liamgallagher Fancy an invite to our wedding in the Cotswolds - December 10th if you aren’t busy? 🙂

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

Absolute shambles @tfl with Paddington and Elizabeth line trains out west. Staff on platform telling people to get on trains and drivers telling us it’s terminated! There is no information on the next train?

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

Good morning to everyone except the Elizabeth Line.

[Chief Supt Chris Casey @BTPCasey]

We want to speak to this man after a woman was sexually assaulted on an Elizabeth Line train from Slough to Tottenham Court Road.

Recognise him?

@WRyneHall And the most underfunded cancers being researched. I hope we see change. 51 years old is no age and my mum passed away 18 days after diagnosis from it at only 61.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@tinkier @BrowseDeweb @JamesMelville And I’m fully aware after the failing of draining her ascites, she was 100% sedated by the hospice because that’s the only humane way to stop the suffering. She never woke up and died 36 hours after.

[Croissant @RachelCrossan]

@tinkier @BrowseDeweb @JamesMelville District nurse palliative care for 5 days, hospice for 3 days, hospital for 7 days and then back to hospice for 3 days where she died. While everyone thinks morphine or various opioids are great for palliative care, cancer like my mums was complex and she wasn’t ever pain free.
