New thread so that we can await this afternoon's hearing at 1400 (UK time)

Let's try to keep this one as sensible and measured as the past 7 threads have been.

Please note the MNHQ comment on thread number 7.

"Hi everyone,

..... We had to remove several parent-blaming posts, so we'd like to ask folk not to do this. We think we can all agree that this is a truly awful time for all involved and we just wouldn't wish it on anyone. If there's anything we could do with more of, it's support. We'll continue to remove reported posts that break TGs (if we've missed something, do feel free to let us know).

If we have to make too many deletions, we will need to look at removing the thread; which is the last thing we wish to do.

Thanks all"

The judge is well pauche . I expect he lives in a pauche hice too.

Waits, somewhat cynically, for CA to suggest Trump as independent chair

I find it interesting that Bindmans were disinstructed by the parents when they are precisely the best firm to deal with a case like this. They are top specialists in this kind of case.

I do wonder if they advised the parents enough is enough. Now the parents have instructed a firm that only seem to do commercial law

GabsAlot · 14/07/2017 15:54

lol lexie or the pastor

goodbyestranger · 14/07/2017 15:54

It seems fairly absurd that the clinicians can't meet without the parents.

Have the parents actually refused another scan?

Ellie56 · 14/07/2017 15:54

Waits, somewhat cynically, for CA to suggest Trump as independent chair or the Pope.

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 14/07/2017 15:54

Why are the Army now criticising GOSH for not measuring Charlie's head/doing an MRI, when it's the parents that have been refusing these tests?

cjt110 · 14/07/2017 15:55

Why are the Army now criticising GOSH for not measuring Charlie's head/doing an MRI, when it's the parents that have been refusing these tests? Because GOSH are the devil incarnate

Surely the Judge will have to rule on this one. GOSH clearly aren't comfortable with the parents being there.

GabsAlot · 14/07/2017 15:56

because they cant read Ovaries

stitchglitched · 14/07/2017 15:56

Because they are thick. And twist themselves in knots to keep up the narrative of parents-good, GOSH/lawyers-bad.

cjt110 · 14/07/2017 15:56

going he has asked earlier on if they will agree or he will have to rule

I wonder why they offered Chris not being there as a concession? Has he been aggressive?

muckypup73 · 14/07/2017 15:57

OvariesBeforeBrovaries, it is absolutely sickening this!!!!! why on earth do the parents not tell Charlies army the truth? This is not a critism, but a true fact, they are hyping up the mob without the mob being fully informed of everything and its so god dammed unfair.

Lightlovelife · 14/07/2017 15:57

Trump as an independent chair Grin
I'm still worried about the poor Italian chap. I do hope they paid his expenses and stood him down.

cjt110 · 14/07/2017 15:58

stitch I think she is the more verbal?

BabsGanoush · 14/07/2017 15:58

GOSH should take a leaf out of C and C's book and just keep stalling (whilst keeping Charlie comfortable)

Maudlinmaud · 14/07/2017 15:59

Can I just say, it's much better for those commenting on this thread to approach this situation with emotional detachment for your own sake. Emotions are high and rightly so but they are also at the very heart of this and why this has become a battle field. Protect yourselves and your own mental health Flowers

Lightlovelife · 14/07/2017 15:59

Ellie definitely the Pope, because he can bring the Italian witness with him.

11122aa · 14/07/2017 16:00

Chris has been aggressive in court and who knows what has happened in the hospital.

cjt110 · 14/07/2017 16:00

light He's still on the phone....!! Grin

MyPuppyIsADick · 14/07/2017 16:01

Someone suggested Connie should be able to pick the independent chair 🤦🏻‍♀️

GabsAlot · 14/07/2017 16:01

the problem is c an c now dont trust gosh right

so no matter what is said/done they wont agree-i know this is mainly for the judge but theyre in such denial now

even othr uk hospitals wont take him beecause of the hassle of it all

LapinR0se · 14/07/2017 16:01

It's ridiculous. The judge should just say, I'm sorry but lay people do not attend these meetings so it would be inappropriate for Connie to do so.
And move on.

Lightlovelife · 14/07/2017 16:02

Maudlin I think that's why some of us resort to childish humour Blush I mean myself really. It eases the tension.
