In recent weeks many people across the globe have been moved and outraged by the story of little Alfie Evans, whose life hung in the balance in a British hospital and whose fate was taken from the hands of his parents by the National Health Service (NHS) and the courts ...
Alfie was forcibly removed from his breathing devices but continues to breathe on his own. The NHS and the courts would not even allow Alfie to go home with his parents, and when the nation of Italy offered to fly him to a Rome hospital for experimental treatment (at their own expense) the courts told Alfie’s parents they would not be allowed to leave the country.
...
This is exactly the point in the ruling by the NHS and the courts to forbid their free citizens from leaving the country. If they are allowed to flee the heart-wrenching consequences of socialism, then others will want to do the same. How can a socialist system work without the cooperation of everyone? And how can you force people to participate in that socialist system when they discover that system may kill them or their loved ones?
You build a wall.
Great Britain doesn’t yet have a wall to keep its citizens in, but the courts have built one with the law. Just as East Germany could not tolerate the massive loss of defectors who were leaving with their training, intellect and tax dollars, Great Britain’s healthcare system cannot tolerate the defection of those who might find better healthcare somewhere else.

Coming to the USA soon if Obamacare is not overturned.
Reason #57 why I refused to see “Darkest Hour” in the theaters. the despicable “Britain” of today is not worthy of Churchill. They are truly vile.
Just like the Soviet Block, building “walls” to keep people in.
England is still technically a monarchy. The roots of its society is feudalism. The people belong to the government, not the other way around. But the people don’t seem to mind... they worship royalty as though they’re anything but inbred dictators.
Bloody stinking Brits. I hope the Muslims overrun them.
I’ve not been following the case closely, but do you think it’s because they can’t wait to harvest his organs? socialism, in all its forms, is deathly brutal.....
For years, Great Britain has had a big problem with doctors leaving for other countries and young people not wanting to go into medicine under the NHS. So many doctors left Britain for Australia that Australia was overwhelmed by the influx of doctors and put a halt to it.
Reading about the NHS and how it continually misdiagnoses people is frightening.
It’s good history to show that the people of Churchill’s time is a lot different than those today. Although I hate Hitler and what he stood for I still watch movies about him and Nazi Germany. The Bunker was an excellent movie and the YouTube parodies using a scene out of that movie are hilarious.
They are putting this child to death because they are not monsters.
How does that make sense, you ask?
The NHS does not ration care to children, because to do so is monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
But the NHS will not spend hundreds of thousands of Pounds on futile care, because that would condemn many more to death when there is no money left for basic life-saving care, which would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
Since the do not ration care, because they are not monsters, but they are not providing care, they must be basing their decisions on what is the best interests of the child. So it is in the best interests of the child to die.
Since it is in the best interests of the child to die, they can not let anybody else save the child, because that would be against the best interests of the child. To allow anybody to do anything against the best interests of the child would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
It is, of course, monstrous to torture a child for months or years on end, and we know that they are not monsters. Therefore it is necessary to make sure the child dies as soon as possible.
So, because they are not monsters, they must kill this child immediately.
You are too late.
I travel to London 5-6 times a year.
They have already been overrun by Muslims.
It’s what you get when you give the government life and death power over citizens. It’s inevitable, when you have government-run healthcare. (bammycare is health INSURANCE, with built in ways of changing over to overall CARE).
The government doesn’t give, without first taking.
I don't think that's it, frankly. I think it's more basic. Bureaucrats ruled that he's essentially dead already and should be denied care. If he goes somewhere else and thrives they look stupid, cruel, and heartless. From their perspective, it's better the baby die than they be embarrassed like that. There it is, and thats why they will fight it tooth and nail.
EXCELLENT explanation of the rationale of monsters who do not want to be perceived as monsters.
That train left the station.
They already look cruel, heartless and evil.
1000 supporters storming the Bastille hospital and freeing Alfie is the only appropriate and moral act left to the British people.
Socialists and their death panels.
When will they set up the towers with guards toting machine guns, so they can mow down disabled children being pushed in their wheelchairs, and their families, as they attempt to escape the NHS NDS (National Death Service)?
He’s been granted Italian citizenship. I wonder if UK citizenship were renounced if they would let this little boy go to get treatment? If the UK government believes that they will be on the hook for millions of dollars in round the clock medical care should this child live long enough, that might be why they are doing what they are doing.
