You have to wonder what the back story here was.
Someone/someones in the NHS or more likely higher in the British government forced this, at the cost of terrible PR, for some greater reason.
Rest In Peace in the arms of Jesus, little one. You won’t be forgotten.
State sponsored murder..that simple..its what the left wants to bring to America..the left keeps on saying “My Body My Choice” but when it comes to your children its “The Govt should decide what’s best for your kids”
Instead of releasing balloons, they ought to be “releasing lead” and lots of it in the shape of bullets on the inhumane animals that run that commie shitehole. Oh...wait. This is the UK. They gave up their freedoms and independence years ago.
And the godless leftist bassturds wants the same for us here in the USA. They want to decide who lives and who dies regardless of any objections. And IF they ever get it, you can bet your sweet azz that IF you happen to be a God-fearing Christian Patriot conservative, you’ll get the “thumbs down” every time.
Pity. No good can come of balloons.
There must be a massive candle lighting with piles of stuffed animals to have a proper demonstration of futility
Those evil arrogant doctors and judges should watch their backs.
Imagine little prince Louis had some malady similar to poor little Alfie and the only place that could treat him was in the US at say the Mayo Clinic. Don’t think for a moment that the British royals would be encumbered by bureaucratic foot dragging and little Louis would be on a plane immediately for the US. When are Britons going to wake up? Their socialized medicine system is literally killing them despite the promises of free care for all. Clearly the rich, powerful and the royals can get the best care in the world often outside the UK, but for the average bloke it’s rationed care at standards decades behind countries like the US. This is the kind of free care Bernie Sanders would impose on us.
“There is concern that the hospital contributed to his death.”
...a great victory for The Administrators. My congratulations to them.
Now, what happens the next time this situation comes up?
My prediction: it will play out exactly the same.
The State will triumph over The Individual.
I hope your coming chains don’t burden you too heavily.
The only choice for the peasants of the statists is if you want to murder your own baby. Otherwise the state will decide everything else.
I was checking out at the Grocery this morning. There were at least 4 magazines with the new baby of the Royals all over the cover. “Kate’s baby” ain’t it all grand.
I was sad, embarrassed for my fellow man, and sickened at how this Royal kid would have gotten the best treatment in the world and this tiny boy Alfie was put down like trash.
I don’t want to hear anymore about the selfish Royals.
Alfie walks with angels. The monsters who did this will never experience that.
And these poor parents will get stuck with the funeral bill, to add insult to injury. The hospital and goobermint took custody of this child, killed him and will now make mom and dad pay. Disgusting.
They should have been demonstrating.
I wonder if they will be charged with a crime for that act of defiance (no, I'm not kidding). Dolphins, turtles, and birds have been harmed when they mistake balloons for food and eat them. The socialist Left cares almost as much about cute animals as they do about crushing those who resist them. With this double motivation, they are probably already searching for the appropriate charges, anything from littering or illegal dumping to harming endangered species, whatever their carefully-selected judge can make fit that carries the harshest prison sentence.
The UK is now as bad as Hitler’s Germany!
Bastards tortured this family and their poor child. To deny a possible treatment over politics and stubbornness. Evil.
“Hundreds of Tearful Alfie Evans Supporters Release Balloons to Honor Him After His Death”
...And were arrested immediately for violating Britain’s anti-littering laws which carry a 1,000 Pound fine and six month confinement
That rumbling you feel under St. Martin’s church in the UK is Winston Churchill spinning in his grave. The beloved country that he fearlessly led is no more.
