Disgusting. She is a Tory? Maggie must be rolling over in her grave.
Is UKIP dead in Britain now?
This why we broke away from the Brits. Tyranny!
Britain has a uniparty, too. And lacks a written constitution that protects the citizenry from its government.
The Christian legal group that helped the family is now under review by the government. This, according to The Guardian. The “conservative” Daily Telegraph is barely covering this story.
She’s a statist. Believes that the government should have all power over its subjects.
In the middle ages they called these types of experts “executioners”. They were considered experts at what they did too.
The terrible fallacy of appointed “experts” and worse than that is the many actions in many western societies that people have been convinced they must concede to such “experts”. It is the fallacy that the progressive regulatory state has been built on.
By what rational basis does any sane person believe that by mere appointment as “expert” the person automatically obtains the highest, best, only superior opinion on something?
Why is it ever defended, because they are defending the “experts”? No. It is defended because they are defending the state and state power to control events.
If it were a private hospital Alfie’s family could have said “we are taking our son elsewhere”. But once their son was the medical-property of the state, that could only be done with the state’s consent, and to do that the state would have to admit there are good opinions other than it’s own.
