Virginia Ironside woke the country up with a start on Sunday morning, when she appeared to be suggesting euthanasia for sick children. She told the BBC’s rather bloodless spiritualism-lite programme Sunday Morning Live that if she had a child who was in terrible pain, she would hold a pillow over its head, as she would for any living creature that was suffering.
