Archie Battersbee is not a disabled person, he is a dead person.
Just switch the plug off already
Turning tragedy to farce.
Sorry, but this woman is deranged.
Is the battle to keep the lad alive, or keep the NHS paying? Could they have him in a private hospital?
Apparatus the UN have issued an injunction to stop the life support being turned off. What the fuck…!
So, they were denied permission to take this to the UN on Wednesday, then were told by the Supreme Court on Thursday that Wednesdays ruling was valid and stood, & are now… taking this to the UN? Uhhwhatnow?
Meanwhile, the hospital has every legal and moral right to end the 17+ medical interventions in place – & under which the condition of the body is continuing to degrade rapidly – to bring this to a close. They’ve harassed and slandered the staff left and right – both directly and also by stirring up hate mobs on social media – and they have the audacity now to ask the same hospital and the same staff they’ve been abusing for months to wait, just so the mother can continue with this macabre charade?
It’s crazy. Someone needs to cut the power already.
The injuction has been issued while the UN looks into the case. All the evidence they need is in the court documents, but they’re quite the slog; I expect they’ll have made a decision before the end of the day.

Relevant text from the BBC article:

Such a tragic case but the line of

Makes me laugh everytime. Only goes to show how clueless and deluded she was/is.
How many more “last ditch attempts” in court will there be?
When are they deploying the peacekeepers to Essex, and will the no-fly zone affect London air traffic?
The Christian Legal Centre once again proving that they are just disgusting hypocrites as they play god to continue the torture of a brain dead child.
what the fucking fuck
like the only people who are going to get shit on however this ends are the hospital staff who’ve been demonized by ghouls because of (once) understandable delusions. fucking hell, it’s not like they’re *not* getting shafted by the gov anyway
What people will do to try to get a ‘heart beat = life’ ruling in the UK.
That’s what this is about.

And the UN will say No.
