The Labour government’s plan to allow corporations to ‘kill the ill’ for profit with minimal scrutiny has already been exposed as a means to cull those who are considered to cost too much to keep alive — what the Nazis called ‘useless eaters’. The ‘Assisted Dying Bill’ (ADB) main sponsor Kim Leadbeater describing any attempts by families to persuade a loved one not to be killed as ‘coercion’. She has also refused campaigners’ requests to exclude disability, Down’s Syndrome, diabetes, arthritis or eating disorders as reasons to kill someone.

Assisted dying

But it’s already happening. Labour back-bencher Richard Quigley MP asked Keir Starmer a question this week that, in the words of his colleague Jess Asato:

reveals the very real possibility that those with eating disorders could be eligible for assisted dying – against NICE [National Institute for Health and Care Excellence] guidance.

But Quigley did more than that. He revealed that those with eating disorders are already being put on ‘end of life pathways’ even before the ADB becomes law:

Leadbeater announced earlier this year that the ‘assisted’ suicide process would not, as had first been promised, require sign-off by a High Court judge — instead only needing approval by a social worker or psychiatrist, or potentially a secret panel of them, supposedly because High Court judges would be too busy to look at applications for death and make sure that there was no coercion or pressure and that no one standing to profit would be influencing the wish to die.

Corporations and so-called ‘care providers’ are already looking to see how they can profit from the death bill if it becomes law, with care home directors asking how many disabled residents might qualify for death when the legislation is passed — and about ‘assertively marketing’ the ‘option’ to ‘free up places’.

The Starmer regime is a government of sociopaths that is waging war on the vulnerable and freely uses ‘useless eater’ rhetoric that disability and sickness benefits are ‘unsustainable’. Leadbeater’s bill has again been exposed as a licence to turn people that the government considers a ‘burden’ into corporate profit, including those with mental health troubles.
