At this time of year people will be focused on trying to predict which way the committee will jump with regards to retained names and this year with so few hits the choice will be even more difficult. So I have thought why not bring some modicum of consensus to the debate for the committee to ignore using the tried and trusted Kill or Save methodology that has proven so popular I have listed below the current 45 survivors which we need to whittle down to 25 names - Each person starts with 20 points. - You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 18/9/24, 18th of September, Wed 18 Sept, etc.). - Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any nane on the board, you can split your points between as many names as you want. -Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. -Consecutive votes are not allowed. - New Rule for this game until the first person is eliminated you cannot give more than 50% of you score (+2/-3) to a single individual. - Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the name's points total and make your scores bold If you do eliminate a name please update the counter. Game is over when 20 names are eliminated

I don't really see the point. If I repeat this next year I will start much later

Apparently it has been 'rescued' but there will be store closures

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

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.

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

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
