Why stop there?

Severely physically or mentally impaired? Lifestyle choice

Living in an abusive environment? Lifestyle choice

Literally drowning right now? You should have chosen a lifestyle with better access to air

Don't have to fund support for anything if everything is a choice, after all.

@Garwboy In 2019, I was taken to court by Westminster, Sheffield & City of London for making FOI requests for lists of vacant commercial properties. They claimed (amongst a long list of crimes, including terrorism) that the spreadsheets would be used by homeless people to find places to squat. Trial took place in Sheffield in the middle of winter. I took a walk one night when it was well below zero. Every doorway, of every vacant building, was being used as shelter by a homeless person.

@Garwboy They already knew where the vacant buildings were, but remained stoically proud that they wouldn't do anything illegal even if it meant freezing to death. I pointed this out in court the next day. The judges didn't give a shit. They found against me for all charges. It's not just the UK government that has contempt for human suffering & sees it as a personal failing.
