@celticsmurf1888 @Eleanor_08_11 There isn't, though. Once your brain stem is dead, there is zero chance of recovery. His brain is actually decaying so much that it's being squeezed from his skull via a tiny opening onto his spinal cord (known as proning). It's time to let him rest now.

@samuelcwhart Being represented. I live alone with my dog and don’t have children. It’s really hard sometimes when all you see on the TV in shows and adverts are families living busy lives. If I’m not in a great mood, it makes me feel that I’ve failed in life.

@richardosefton I don’t either. However, I don’t think they can be “defeated” with facts or logic. The reality is that they use emotion to speak to those who feel neglected/ignored, promising them that they are heard, being listened to and their feelings are legitimate.

@MarcDavenant Absolutely this. Hence comments from potential Reform voters like “he’s one of us” and “he tells it like it is”. It’s also reflected in how he is frequently referred to as “Nigel”, rather like we had with “Boris”.

@nieminenta @FixFactor11 @joerg_is_back Michael Schumacher has brain damage, not brain stem death. His brain and other organs are not decomposing; his brain is not coning, i.e., unlike Archie, his brain is not being forced out of his skull onto his spine, due to the pressure on it from cell death/swelling.

@OnlySteve68 @BarristerSecret My beliefs about a client’s guilt are irrelevant. It’s for the jury to determine that after hearing the evidence. If a client tells you they’re guilty but doesn’t plead so, I can’t mislead the court. So, I could test the prosecution’s case, but not suggest the client is innocent
