RIP little guy.

Murdered by socialists and the UK's single-payer healthcare system - the dreaded NHS.

What does removal of “life support “ mean in the U.K.? How far did they take their definition? Dehydration and starvation? Their behavior against his life makes one wonder.

"They're standing around toasting one another right now. "

They're throwing the family and their dead son out of the hospital now so they can make room for the next child they condemn to death.

Congrats British government- You are now Satan’s little minions- May God have mercy on your souls!

This has even happened here in the US- except with a man fully conscious and begging for his life- Texas hospital refused to listen to him: https://www.theblaze.com/video/think-it-cant-happen-in-the-us-texas-hospital-ends-life-support-of-fully-conscious-patient

A government led by a “Conservative” Prime Minister named Theresa May who presided over Charlie Gard’s death last year, now this.

How can President Trump bless her with a visit this July as was announced this week?

Would he do that for the authoritarian but elected leader in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro?

We all know he wouldn’t for him and shouldn’t, why for her.

Wasn’t the UK one of the Allied nations that fought a war against a system that in part held this kind of ideology that life, for whatever reason that was deemed ‘’unworthy of life’’ had to die?

The western world has been so fixated on one baby born to a family that to be honest produces nothing except fodder for gossip rags. While at the same time ignoring a baby born to an average husband and wife who work hard to provide nothing more or less than a happy home without need for celebrity.

If the situation was reversed, and Prince William and Kate given birth to a child with the same medical condition as Alfie Evans... would the English courts have ruled that THEIR child must die?

RIP, Alfie.. you deserved far better than the death mandated by those NHS ghouls.

Their child’s care would have been paid for privately and would not serve as the blueprint for all other children in his condition.

I suspect this had nothing to do with Alfie and everything to do with all the other Alfies in England.

They are all lives not worth living.

Ronald Freisler was the German judge seen screaming at defendants after the attempt on Hitler’s life in 1944. Sounds like his grandson now sits on the British high court and passes the same sort of judgement on children not deemed perfect by the state. At any rate, Freisler and his henchmen would be so proud of the British legal system and what it has become.
