A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Worth saying - whatever you think of the legislation and the principle - that courts have been clear time and again that they do not consider right to die to be a human right and that it is a matter for national parliaments to legislate on.
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick on the assisted dying bill:
“This Act, if passed, will be subject to activist judges in Strasbourg [the ECtHR] — they will change it fundamentally and we have to be prepared for that.”

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.
