#ALECBALDWIN
Filmmaker Halyna Hutchins died after a prop gun was ‘discharged by Alec Baldwin’ on a film set, US police said. @zachrongers wrote: “This is how Brandon Lee died, put a gun in any situation and that situation can become a deadly one.” @Russrichards wrote: “Most simply don't know that a blank at close range can do this, they can even be more devastating than a live round. My thoughts and prayers go out to both the woman and Alec Baldwin. Very sad news indeed." @charlotteukcity said: “While we all want films to look realistic, Health And Safety at work is paramount. No prop should be allowed to carry such risk.” @barbara280 tweeted: “28 years after Brandon Lee was killed on the set of The Crow,it happens again. Time to end US nightmarish obsession with firearms real or fake.”

#FRANKFIELD
Former Labour MP Frank Field has announced his support for assisted dying and revealed that he is dying himself.
@paulmizen said: “Sad news. Frank was my favourite MP for many years even though I was not a Labour voter. He really was the voice of the workers on so many issues.” @Thecryptoangel wrote: “Life is sacred and not any man's or woman's to take.” @robespi tweeted: “We don't choose to come into this world, many aspects of live are beyond our control. It should be a human right to have the ability to end your own life with dignity. Sadly religion and scaremongering seep into this issue and poison people's minds.” @Rmblaber56 wrote: “The problem with "assisted dying" is that vulnerable people can be put under pressure by their relatives/ carers, so that it ends up as anything but voluntary.” @oliviamcneilis tweeted: “'Im all for assisted dying, but only as long as everyone has access to good healthcare and social services. This shouldn't be a choice people feel they must make because they're not be adequately supported physically, emotionally or financially.”
