Hi guys new thread.

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"

Jim from Sky is not too bad although he peppers his tweets with personal opinion. By far the worst of the three is Catherine Glenn Foster with her propaganda Hmm

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 15/07/2017 16:11

Just seen CGF's latest tweet:

Breaking: Expect a story that's been percolating on the internet for a few days to go big within the next 24 hours! 😳 #CharlieGard

GinSoakedTwitchyPony · 15/07/2017 16:12

I've just been looking at CGF's Twitter. Ugh.
I like Sky Jim because he told us about Justice Francis' pronunciation of GOSH. Wink

However, I do like Rozenberg's reporting best.

Venusflytwat · 15/07/2017 16:13

That's a hard read Cavemum.
He's absolutely right though.

BubblesBuddy · 15/07/2017 16:15

Of course people can read what they want but if they do not refer back to what was actually said in court then speculation and inaccuracy sound like facts when they are not. I have read many threads on this and although there are excellent comments with great insight there are some factual inaccuracies that are taken from other sites that need to be challenged. That was my reason for suggesting contributors read what is actually said rather than thinking gossip is accurate. Clearly not everyone was getting facts from the court!

Sostenueto · 15/07/2017 16:15

Who is this tweet from? What is breaking news then? Explain spiteful we are all ears. Mr Gard must be very careful what he tweets. After all there is a court case going on.

Holliewantstobehot · 15/07/2017 16:16

That tweet could mean anything. It could even be related to Obama care after all poor Charlie's name is dragged into all sorts. Or perhaps she's heard they are announcing the next doctor after Wimbledon tomorrow and got her wires crossed. Grin

Lightlovelife · 15/07/2017 16:17

Smiling mind can you send a copy of your email and CitizenGo's reply to [email protected]? When I rang the (very nice) lady said she hadn't heard of any other cases, so if other people contact them they will realise that it isn't just me.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:17

Well the docs meeting is happening tomorrow and it said about the next 24 hrs, could it be about that perhaps?

SymphonyofShadows · 15/07/2017 16:18

I saw the ridiculous comments on CA about morphine making him 'sleepy'. The stupidity is breathtaking.

Sostenueto · 15/07/2017 16:18

Oh sorry think I read your post wrong spitefulBlush

CaveMum · 15/07/2017 16:20

I thought the Drs were meeting on Monday when the US Dr is here. I could be wrong though!

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 15/07/2017 16:22

No worries Sos, I do that all the time Wink

smilingmind · 15/07/2017 16:23

Don't quote me on this as I am a bit out of it today but thought I read that the US doctor had decided the treatment may work better if he added an extra nucleoside to it.

Maudlinmaud · 15/07/2017 16:23

There is another fb page that I believe is run by the family, more balanced feedback seems to be allowed there without it being censored. By balanced read opposition.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:23

Just read the tweet about GOSH not allowing the pastor onto the PICU to pray for Charlie at his bedside. Can kind of understand how that might not be appropriate and difficult for the other families, if they are in the same room. He says he has never had a problem with praying at a bedside of a patient before Hmm

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:24

Which is that Maudlin? The Charlie's Fight FB page?

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:25

CA think GOSH are doping him up with morphine.

MirandaWest · 15/07/2017 16:26

I thought the doctors meeting was on Monday. Could it be something to do with head measurements being taken as it was said it should be done over the weekend I think (although may have misremembered)

Lucysky2017 · 15/07/2017 16:28

Someone may have posted it above but below if you click on the link in the tweet is GOSH's position paper and it is very good indeed.
twitter.com/JoshuaRozenberg/status/885762808217993216

It is just 6 pages long but summarises the position of GOSH very well.

Maudlinmaud · 15/07/2017 16:28

Yes I believe that is what it's called bath.
It must be so difficult for the family to read those posts and I can understand why the other page only allows supportive comments, but I fear that is the very reason they cannot accept the position GOSH have taken.

smilingmind · 15/07/2017 16:28

Happy to Light what would be the best way to send it ?

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 15/07/2017 16:29

Just to be really awkward, but surprised no one has pointed this out. 1 in 9 is not 10% - we're being submitted to that bad maths again!!

Rhodiolia · 15/07/2017 16:29

They are being their usual delightful selves over on CA.

Poster 1 - No, not even Trump can do it, it would destroy US-UK relationship

Poster 2 - Well your a prick

smilingmind · 15/07/2017 16:29

Not it but them
