    Who Stays in 25 - Kill or Save Special

    I am keeping a list of the order in which they were eliminated. There is no guarantee that the committee will take these into account when making the cut but they will be there for comparison.

    Here is where I will defend her. She may be capable of taking an overdose or another way of doing that but not everyone does have that ability and choice. It can also be difficult for people to obtain drugs to do this without being deceitful. What she is looking for is dignity in dying and protection for loved ones who have to provide assistance. However I still feel that there are risks in the approach being adopted

    Who Stays in 25 - Kill or Save Special

    If there is a late surge of hits then those we are currently eliminating may make the 25 that remain

    "This is nothing to do with me" I do feel she is betraying all those people she previously supported for the Silverline support network. I think this has the biggest potential for abuse and manipulation of older sick people.

    From Cleric To Relic

    It will be interesting to see who replaces Welby as the See of Durham is currently vacant, The Archbishop of London is a woman (but also youngest of the big three). That leaves The Archbishop of York - Stephen Cottrell (b.1958) and Th Archbishop of Winchester - Philip Mountstephen (b.1959) Though previous incumbents have been Translated from less prestigious Diocese

    Who Stays in 25 - Kill or Save Special

    Almost any name on the list could go at any minute. I hope that any that do are names that remain to demonstrate that our collective thinking was on the right lines. If I realised it would go this quick I might have waited a couple of weeks to launch it but I will not use these results on my shadowlist which is already drafted

    If Carter is still alive on 1st Jan 2025 there is no way he is not going to be on the list. If he dies before hand we will just remove him from this game and only need to eliminate 19. I did wonder whether committing to this game might start an avalanche of hits. Two of my Deathrace picks have gone already

    I agree, my main use of this one is to acknowledge my own mistakes when they are pointed out.
