Just How Fucking Thick is Melanie Phillips?

I was just about to switch off Question Time last night, when I desisted for a few moments when I heard a contender for the Most Moronic Quote of the Year, which given it's still February is something of an achievement.

Apparently most people who want to be assisted in their suicide are depressed. No? Really? I'd have thought it was all the happy ones clamouring to shuffle off this mortal coil! It would appear having a debilitating disease that obliterates your quality of life makes you a bit unhappy, well frankly I'm shocked, I'd have expected such people to go roller-blading whilst trilling the Greatest Hits of the 70's.

I mean, if being told that doesn't instil a desire to belt out the fact that Rasputin was Russia's greatest love machine to the whole, wide world, what else will?

Melanie Phillips, you are fucking stupid. If your life is being destroyed in such a manner that you are considering asking family members to off you because you're too damn ill to do the deed yourself, then I'm thinking you're not going to be filled with joy - quite the opposite. Of course they going to be depressed, not only are they considering ending their life, but they're going to have to bring in help. I cannot begin to think about how terrible a thought that must be.
