[ColdOne]

Why can't they take him out of hospital? What is the law on that there?

[TBP]

Because in a socialized medicine, single payer system, you can’t have anyone making individual choices, especially if those choices disagree with the ones made by the commissars.

[TBP]

And they hve the unmitigated gall to call that compassion.

[bboop]

ColdOne, I’m with you. Take that kid and get outta Dodge. Do not take anything with you, as if you were escaping from the Nazis. Just FLEE.

[NoExpectations]

They are trying to run the clock out. Prayers for this dear little boy.

[MagUSNRET]

Why the bloody hell cant the Queen intervene in this idiocy?!!
(rhetorical)

[tennmountainman]

England and the EU now own Charlie.
He is their property to kill.

This judge will rot in hell.

[MtnClimber]

Time for some bureaucrats to get the god test.

[bray]

Nationalized healthcare is slavery.

[DBrow]

Who was the person, talking head or DNC agent, who said that we don’t own our kids, the state does? Probably should be spelled State.

Charlie’s parents are learning just what that means.

[neverevergiveup]

This is 99.9999% about the arrogance of those types of personalities who wind up in positions of power in socialist systems. Nothing more, nothing less. There are few societies in the world that are more hierarchical than Britain, and those who wind up in bs positions within the NHS are amongst the worst. There are some truly unimpressive but dramatically self-indulgent and arrogant people in positions of power within the British health care system - including those at not-so-great Ormand Street hospital. This is what socialism looks like. You're either in the politburo, or you are a pawn. Wonderful.

If I were these parents I would denounce my British citizenship and seek political asylum from an oppressive regime.

[EinNYC]

The socialist demons are trying to run the clock down on this baby. Every minute, he gets weaker and less likely to recover. They're counting on that, to show that they can have their way with peoples' lives. How freakin' EVIL is that? And when the baby dies, they will say, "Oh well. He was irreparably ill. Not our fault."

I don't understand why the parents can't organize a getaway car and just grab him and get him out of there. Does the baby belong to the parents or the state?

Now it is obvious for all the world to see why Britain is soon to be no more and why socialized medicine is an insane idea.

[I want the USA back]

But the UK will readily admit millions of muzzies into their country. This is only a White kid, and has no value in the eyes of the UK government.

[Ray76]

This is single payer.

[antonico]

This is heart wrenching. This poor kid. And it’s amazing Schumer was on TV today saying, yet again, “single payer” is STILL on the table for Democrats. When Charlie Gard is the face of exactly what happens to you under single payer socialized medicine. Somebody needs to brand the Democrats as The Charlie Gard Party. NOW!

[Ray76]

Her Majesty’s subject may not leave the kingdom without permission.

[sheehan]

This case just shows how repressive the UK and other European welfare-nanny states are to their people.

Thank God I’m an American.

[Da Coyote]

Dear UK,

We had civil war.

Your turn.

So do with progressives as you like, but record it so we can enjoy and learn.

Progressive judges should receive very extra special tortu...er...treatment.

[Rummyfan]

This judge should be hung.

[sargon]

Boy, the British citizenry apparently need to be reminded that they are subjects, not free people.

Tyranny is alive and well in the Socialist UK...

[Dalberg-Acton]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m getting very tired of this “Judge says” nonsense.
