WHEN THE COURTS BECOME A KILLING MACHINE
It is unconscionable that a court could stop a child being given available medical treatment, arranged by his parents.
It is not a matter of whether he can be cured, but the journey he takes with his parents on this earth, while he is alive. The argument raised about being allowed to 'die peacefully' is not permitted by the courts for adults and the fact that the courts are citing this principle for a child, suggests it has nothing to do with the child's best interests, rather those of the state.
I find it intolerable that the hospital, the courts and the public can allow themselves the belief that they know better what is best for Alfie and that they have his best interests more at heart than his doting parents. If the parents have the means to prolong his life in another country, then this is their inalienable right to choose, and no one else should interfere.

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.
"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
