This Is The Real Reason Britain Won’t Release Alfie Evans To Italy
Red State ^ | April 25, 2018 | Kira Davis

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.

Britain does not like children unless they can be served up for sexual abuse by muslim gangsters (i.e. all muslims).

Imagine if he actually got better.

Imagine if they had let Charlie Gard come here and he had gotten better.

How would that look? They cannot allow that.

This is just more evidence that progressives don’;t care about anything but their own self-aggrandizement. If people have to die for it, it’s not their problem.

This is what they call “compassion.” (See my tagline.)
