I heard a comment on the radio that he has been on hunger strike for twelve years and fed via a tube for all that time, putting the fact that its Ian Brady to one side, should our prison service be doing things like that, theres something that just doesn't feel right about the fact that we're forcing someone to stay alive, just because we can.

To be fair . Regardless of his history ( and as much as think that this individual should have hanged a long time ago ) ,him nearing his termination under his present circumstances is nothing to be celebrated . The past is the past . And he was punished under the regulations current way back then . The death or suffering of anyone is not a thing to celebrate .

it is, given what he did, I hope he has a long and tormented death, like the long and tormented lives that the families of murdered children have suffered.
and I too will remember BG's words when Maggie dies, but I think cod'ead will have bunting on his signature.

That isn't why they are doing it, the reason is that because he is sectioned, then under the Mental Health Act they have to do it as being sectioned he is deemed not to be able to make a reasoned decision, and if they did not, they would be breaking the law. I think in this respect, at least, his identity is irrelevant.
