FULL TITLE:

Theresa May won't commit to intervening over Charlie Gard treatment row - but is 'confident' doctors will consider new information

Theresa May says she is "confident" doctors will consider new information in the case of desperately ill baby Charlie Gard - but would not commit to intervening in the row over his treatment.

Charlie's parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, had hoped to take him to the US for experimental treatment.

But they lost a legal fight for the right to take him out of the country, after a pair of court rulings in Strasborg and London in favour of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) doctors.

Little Charlie suffers from the rare genetic condition mitochondrial depletion, which means he has muscle weakness and brain damage.

Looks like she’s vying for the Governor Jeb Bush award.

These politicians who kowtow to the culture of death are despicable.

Mrs. May was forced by Donald J. Trump’s tweet into opening her mouth to dance around action to care for Charlie.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson says Charlie Guard can’t be moved for “legal reasons”.

If Charlie’s parents have private funding, how can they and Charlie be made to stay in the UK?

Mealy Mouth May

The courts intervened against the parental rights. How about you stand up for parental rights instead of your slimy, political, mealy mouth response?

Was I too harsh?

No, God forbid, someone in her family falls ill and the STATE tells her they must die!

Maybe now.

Merry ‘ol England now has the THOUGHT POLICE.

Our brand of talk radio, or even FoxNews on its better days, is simply not allowed.

A while back I viewed a clip of a Body Language analyst who analyzed Theresa May. She pointed out specifics that showed May’s disingenuous intent. It confirmed my initial gut reaction to this woman. Fake, phony, EU-lover, deceitful fraud.

As an American, the use of the word "CANNOT" (sic) confuses me in this context.

In this case, family wishes rule followed by societal norms. Both favor the preservation of life, if possible, and all available avenues should be pursued.

Progressives seem to favor extermination of humankind, a practice they should pursue in private.

This seems akin to George W’s refusal to intervene in the courts-martial of the Navy SEALs for allegedly hitting a terrorist in Iraq, or in the Haditha 8, or in any other kangaroo court BS targeting US servicemen in the war, and I include the show trials of the two US Border Patrol Agents who justifiably shot a drug dealer who was then hired by US Atty Johnny Sutton to railroad them. W’s legacy is shameful in such refusals to confront evil.

This will not end well for May or Boris Johnson.

Donald Trump to Teresa May at the meetings in Germany: Teresa, my plane will stop in London on the way home, Have Charlie and his family at the airport ready to go. Thank you, have a great day.

The British government is trying to run out the clock. They are despicable, disgusting and sleazy on this matter, and many others too.
