I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Britannia Kills Herself

From This Is London: 76% in favour of right-to-die Bill---

Three quarters of people are in favour of a controversial right-to-die Bill to be debated in the House of Lords, according to a new poll.

A YouGov survey for the Dignity in Dying group found that most people were in favour of the terminally ill being allowed to die.

Over half (59%) said there was good care for people in the later stages of a terminal illness, yet 76% were in favour of assisted dying as long as there were safeguards in place.

Of the 1,770 people questioned, 13% were opposed to the idea while 11% said they did not know, and 39% said they had experienced hospice or palliative care either directly or though a loved one.

The survey comes after top doctors joined opponents of the Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill.

The Bill is sponsored by cross-bencher Lord Joffe and will have its Second Reading debate in the Lords. Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams is against the Bill and is one of 81 speakers due to take part in the debate.
This is what Wellington fought for? This is what Nelson died for? The right for Brits to have help in murdering themselves? Why not just continue allowing radical Muslims in. They'll finish the English off in no time, if that's what the English want.

Disgusting and disturbing.

Forget "Rule, Britannia." The new refrain is "Die, Britannia."
