Comment on there "didn't like the rest of the article, some woman who turned off their babies ventilator 😡" and a reply saying "silly cow"
It's "insensitive" apparently to put that in the article about him

Are you actually fucking joking me? Do they just think everyone can live?! < slams head off wall >
It's shit, but they haven't got a clue, they really haven't. People die every single day, babies to elderly people. Sometimes I can't help, and I wish I could when you hear the pain in people's voices. But you have to accept it. Switching off a ventilator is a final and last act of love because there is nothing else that can be done and you want to take away any pain or suffering

rabbit no I haven't been on the CA FB page because I think it would just make me too annoyed.

I take your point that it's just a handful of posts but they still made me angry. I like to think that MN is above that. Just because CA are saying awful things it doesn't mean we should stoop to their level.

The way this case has played out is terrible and I think the parents have been exploited. It's really sad and if there is a news blackout I think that was a very good idea.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/07/2017 14:14

as much as it pains me to accuse my fellow scientists of being money grabbing - yes, the potential to get a large amount of research funding off the back of this could be a major factor in their willingness to help this cause

Thanks for your honesty, zeezeek. I'd suspected this was the case, but it's valuable to hear the view of someone who actually works in the field

thereallochnessmonster · 12/07/2017 14:15

Oh, FFS. Have just read on the CA FB page a post by a woman who said 'Yesterday there was a little boy on here who has no brain but is at school, counting and everything' or words tro that effect.

Stupid, indeed. Another one wishing there was an option to post a WTF? face on FB.

It's terrifying to think that so many people are hard of thinking.

redshoeblueshoe · 12/07/2017 14:15

I think these threads have been very measured.
I know of 2 people who were sacked for posting pictures on FB, they both broke the Social media policies of their employers. served them right

Aaaagh. I have just had an email from CitizenGo asking me to join them at a demonstration tomorrow. I have once again told them I want to be removed from their database and that I believe Charlie Gard should be allowed with dignity.

The NHS Lothian person is still commenting about hitting gallop with a hammer and calling her a cunt.

Imaweeble · 12/07/2017 14:20

My eyes are starting to ache from rolling them so much at the CA page! The people commenting really do seem to be a bunch of uneducated buffoons...
Their protests seem to me to have just caused more trouble (although the Colchester one did make me laugh as it looked like a bad advert for xfactor!Grin)
However I can understand why his parents are fighting so desperately hard, no one wants their child to be so desperately poorly that they have to make the unthinkable decision but they have to start listening to the advice being given. What if they DO get to America and then the doctors over there refuse to treat Charlie as he is too ill, will they go through the same stuff again? And I am really against the barmy army for keeping on saying that it's murder!! Do they not have any thought for people who have have had to make that unthinkable decision and how awful they must feel with a bunch of nobodies calling out its murder?

Hope you don't mind me posting but I've been lurking for a while and felt that I wanted to comment

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/07/2017 14:22

Please report her again tinhead. Please. Every single time.

Have just read on the CA FB page a post by a woman who said 'Yesterday there was a little boy on here who has no brain, but is at school, counting and everything'

Sounds like his abilities surpass most of Charlie's Army.

SumThucker · 12/07/2017 14:23

They're full on crackers Dixie. I've often wondered who were the types to be brainwashed into some kind of Waco siege scenario.

smilingmind · 12/07/2017 14:26

This rubbish on CA is driving me crazy.
If GOSH stop holding Charlie prisoner then all three of them can go to the US embassy and ask for political asylum.
They are also talking about how Trump will get them out once their residency is given.
Is residency the same as a green card ?
If so I know people with one and it does not over ride their nationality.

pasanda · 12/07/2017 14:26

I just saw this on the CA page -

Exactly! The whole system is wrotten and has the royal family said anything? NOOOOO . Keep on playing polo folks. Thats much more important

I said to hubby weeks ago "can you imagine this happening to the Beckhams, Richard Branston or the royals??" Er no neither can I 😡

Branston (pickle anyone!?)

Bloody tragic but that did make me laugh Grin

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/07/2017 14:26

Lightlovelife have you reported the emails to the Information Commissioner? Sorry, can't remember if it was you or someone else who has done so upthread.

rabbitnothare · 12/07/2017 14:26

I hope to god they sue the ass off the hospital and those involved! ! And why has no royal visited in backed charlies parent they were quick enough to back the mc canns though oddly who actually caused Thier daughters demise!!

CA Facebook page.

And there we have it, being nasty about the McCann family again Angry

I need to step away too, so upsetting and depressing.

Lonelymummyof1 · 12/07/2017 14:27

Pasanda 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

muckypup73 · 12/07/2017 14:28

Why on earth would they sue the hospital?? why?? what a ridicolous comment to make and most ofthis shit is basedon their lies, its not Gosh thats caused this, its the Gards.

muckypup73 · 12/07/2017 14:29

Sorry keyboard sticking.

Lightlovelife · 12/07/2017 14:29

They have asked people at the demo tomorrow to bring 'a stuffed monkey because this is Charlie's favourite toy'.
In view of what we have been told it is unlikely he is aware of the toy. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

GabsAlot · 12/07/2017 14:30

not that i lik th mccanns but whn did royalty visit thm?
