"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are the rights singled out by Thomas Jefferson as those most deserving the protection of government as he and his fellow founders sought to recover the ‘rights of Englishmen’ of which they felt they were being deprived. This makes it more than ironic that those rights no longer exist in the country of England, where two very young children no longer have life, after their parents had their liberty taken away and were deprived of the happiness that preserving their children’s lives had brought.
Everyone knows that resources are finite and demands can be great, and times may come when providers may feel that time and money spent in prolonging life in hard cases may be spent better in helping somebody else. This wasn’t the case with the two children now dead in England, whose parents were stopped, not from trying to draw upon government funds, but from trying to use their own money to help them. In each case, they wanted to remove their child from the country, where they might have been aided by somebody else.
These parents might just as well have been living in East Germany before liberation, for all the control that they had over their lives or their funds and families and freedom of movement. The only things missing were the barbed wire and armed guards on the ramparts of the Berlin Wall.

The British citizens have two battles on their hands. The first is against the rule of unelected regulators in Brussels. They will need to win this battle first. The battle against the authoritarian leftists in their own government is the second one. Unless they win both, they are no more than the property of the state.
English rights at risk? No, they’re gone, just like little Alfie, rest his innocent soul.
To the British NHS: You are babykillers who deserve as much mercy as you showed this boy!
Alfie Evan’s case also showed us what socialized—that is government medicine is all about, and how it works.
Remember Sarah Palin warning us that Obamacare was really rationing medical care, and that this will result in death panels(I forgot her exact words)?
When you have immoral Marxist bureaucrats making life and death decisions your whole society, culture, and civilization will share Alfie Evan’s cruel and barbaric fate.
I agree. And the British citizens are under two layers of socialism, the EU and the local government socialists at all levels in the UK. Hard to pay them back when the citizens are nearly all disarmed.
A recently aired Father Brown mystery had a plot where accidents with anesthesia were occurring. One of the characters said that mystery had to be solved because the most extensive social experiment in history was the new British NHS. Scandal would do damage to public opinion.
Has that day come?
Maybe that day has come. If the fake news deceives the Brits then it will not come.
