Sean 6,314 Posted March 14 When she spoke to ITV News and Keir Starmer she stated "Im not at my best" and she no longer wishes to be filmed on camera. Needed subtitles but that`s clearly just the line. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 27 Her daughter accepted an award on her behalf Tuesday. This, combined with her refusing to appear on camera the other week, makes me think she may be in her final weeks. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Grimace 359 Posted April 23 Esther Ranzen has been forced to pull out of a Westminster debate on assisted dying because she is too ill. She was planning to attend the debate on Monday. Dame Esther Rantzen sends message to MPs after pulling out of assisted dying debate No new information, second time in a month that she's not appeared at an event (see post above by @RadGuy). From the article: In a statement Dame Esther said: "While, sadly, my health issues (I have stage four lung cancer) prevent me from attending it myself, I will be watching the debate closely as it affects my own decision to go to Dignitas in Zurich if necessary, to protect my family from witnessing a painful death." 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,583 Posted October 4 She has been giving media interviews this morning via telephone in support of Assisted dying. This blunder at the start of one made me laugh. https://metro.co.uk/2024/10/04/bbc-radio-host-mortified-huge-blunder-terminally-ill-dame-esther-rantzen-21733152/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,132 Posted October 4 There's several versions in that report of what he said. ‘Is Dame Esther Rantzen with us?’ I can't see a problem with that. On the other hand .... ‘Is Dame Esther Rantzen still with us?’ That "still" makes all the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or Benny Hill who famously released a tribute to Frankie Howard only to be found to have died in his house before the statement was made. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted October 16 Y'know Truss and the lettuce I'm wondering if Esther's in less trouble than the largely ignorned Daily Express - either way, a marriage of convenience seems to be suiting the pair of them presently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the way it is going she will die the day it is rejected by MP’s. The Two minsters who would have to implement the law are both strongly against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, you can't be punished for a successful suicide.... The article says that if a law were to be passed, the first death would still be 2-3 years away. But I guess only very few people here believe she can make it to 2026. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
