"Allow assisted suicide for those with less than a year to live"

Doctors should be allowed to help terminally ill patients kill themselves – but only if they have less than a year to live, under proposals published in a major report today.

The Archbishop of Canterbury's New Year Message

Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has accused Britain of "letting down young people."

In a widely ignored speech, broadcast on BBC1 today, he said:

• We shouldn't think of these young people as being criminals - I believe that what they were doing was just another form of "street art" and should be commended.

• Advertising agencies and shops should be condemmed for creating a desire for designer label training shoes and iPods. If it wasn't for them, the riots wouldn't have happened.
  

• Looting shops of sports clothing, training shoes and electrical goods should be viewed as urgently-needed redistribution of wealth in these poor communities, where some residents have to get by with televisions that have less than 40 inch screens.

• If Jesus was alive today, I believe that he would have been out there with all the other lovable gangstas and hoodies, torching the hated symbols and structures of capitalism and oppression. Innit?

This Christmas, Rowan Williams was meant to be appearing as The Scarecrow in the Tottenham Hippodrome's pantomime "The Wizard of Oz", but unfortunately the theatre was burned down in the summer.
