Patricia Hewitt, Baby Boomer, Labour MP for Leicester West, Mischief Maker against Gordon Brown, Former Health Secretary, Consultant to Boots, Consultant to Cinven, Patron of Dignity in Dying, and Common Purpose Intertwingler, got herself stung when investigating yet another Honeypot.
This Honeypot was an especially sticky one and she has been suspended.
More about Patsy, the lady who they trusted with our health service at the time of MTAS:
(Notice how Patsy suggests that making use of Think Tanks to link business with government is a good idea, My Black Cat. And notice how she specifically recommmends Demos)
LABOUR’S CASH FOR INFLUENCE SCANDAL?
STUPID TO GET CAUGHT IN STING SAYS JACK STRAW
2010 CASH FOR INFLUENCE SCANDAL
(The say £3000/day was the figure required, My Black Cat! How much Kit-e-Kat could you buy for that! What loony goons some of these baby boomers are!!)
You think they are all a bunch of plonkers who are bonkers, My Black Cat?
You shouldn’t be too hard on Patsy and the others, My Black Cat. They don’t have real jobs like witches and black cats, and so they have to crawl around the gutters looking for sticky discarded honeypots.
Anyway, Patsy is a busy lady. She worked late in the evening of 10 March 2010 to raise a question on the Law on Assisted Suicide in The House of Commons.
She is clearly very, very committed to helping people end their lives if they choose. Notice how Patsy and her commitment to assisted dying was trusted with our health service.
She was always keen on Patient Choice.
I can’t imagine there is A Honeypot involved in this activity, My Black Cat.
If you can think of one, then let me know.
“Campaigners want an independent inquiry to consider the law on assisted dying because the present law does not reflect public opinion.
The former health secretary Patricia Hewitt, MP and patron of Dignity in Dying, said it was currently left to a “few individuals and the courts to force the pace of change” on the issue. She said people with a terminal illness who want to end their lives had little choice.
In an adjournment debate in the Commons on this week, Hewitt said: “For some people – more than 100 Britons since 2002 – the answer lies in a visit to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland. For others, help might come from their doctor – sometimes, but not always, acting within the present law.”
Research had shown that one in 500 deaths in the UK was the result of voluntary euthanasia, involving a criminal act, she said.
“Other desperate people find that they have to refuse food and water, a wretched process, in order to exercise some control over when and how they die. And each year, a number of terminally ill people – it is impossible to say how many – resort in desperation to violent, lonely and often botched suicides”
“Hewitt welcomed the DPP’s guidelines but said they were not enough. An inquiry was necessary to examine the law.
She said the inquiry should look at the evidence from countries that have legalised assisted dying, consider the number of British people seeking an assisted death, examine the position of medical and nursing staff under present laws, and make proposals on how vulnerable people might best be protected from abuse or exploitation if the law were to be changed.”
Hey, Patsy gets a mention here too!

I’m sure Patricia’s involvement with Cinven, & Spire Hospitals, couldn’t be related to this assisted buying, sorry assisted dying, thing at all.
I’m sure the hospitals have nice curtains and you can choose your own room.
