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"

Apparently LG was in her pjs. CA immediately wanted to know what sort of pjs they were Hmm

Does anybody feel able to summarise the key points from today? I don't think I can read fast enough to catch up.

Ellie56, hang on a minute, did they not have an interveiw about Gosh keeping charlie prisoner??? they cannot tell the press to fuck off when they dont feel like it, they have played the media like a fiddle, be careful what you ask for, they have done interveiw after interveiw and now telling them to piss off???

It's quite scary, there are some odball types on the CA page who seem to think that being in CA means they "know" Charlie an his family.

Those who are arranging the birthday cards fully expect the cards they send to take centre stage around Charlie's bedspace! It's getting more sinister all the time.

I hope Laura is "getting" it now and can help Connie to find alternative comfort away from the internet fan club.

TinselTwins, somehow I do not think Laura will get it, shes been the driving force of raising money.

Oh, the press Ellie. To be honest that is only to be expected. I thought for a dreadful moment that Charlie's Army had taken to knocking at her door.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but FARAGE ALERT:

"Farage says he is the only UK politician supporting Charlie Gard’s parents against ‘the Establishment’"

Daft question / thought

the pope got involved because they Connie and Chris are Catholic
but they had a child out of wedlock ...

I found the montage of pictures of Connie / Chris / Charlie
I agree, utterly utterly heartbreaking
but
the lights went out of his eyes before Christmas
everything since then has been not for Charlie's benefit IMHO

BubblesBuddy · 15/07/2017 22:16

He said that on his radio show a few days ago. Just shows he doesn't understand the law either - yet another self publicist that jumps on any bandwagon to get heard! Haven't we had enough of him yet?

Fancythat69 · 15/07/2017 22:18

This is the tattoo, it looks like she did it herself Hmm

I think CA might start knocking at her door - I think some people will have her address for sending things for Charlie (they won't send them to GOSH as they will steal them, in their eyes)

MirandaWest · 15/07/2017 22:19

I read that Connie said she didn't have any religion. Can't remember where though.

Listening to the BBC Radio 4 midnight news last night they mentioned the Italian doctor , who cannot be named, is coming over as well

Sostenueto · 15/07/2017 22:22

Omg! Apparently the parents NURSE Charlie around the clock changing shifts at 3 am. ERM. And what may I ask are the nurses doing? Oh and apparently scans are taking place this weekend in preparation for the expert on Monday!
How can they say they are nursing g Charlie? Surely the judge will go ape shit at this statement?

11122aa · 15/07/2017 22:22

Farrage loves Trump. Not surprising he latches on to something which helps trump in the USA.

reallyanotherone · 15/07/2017 22:24

Who nurses charlie while they are in court all day?

LikeAFish · 15/07/2017 22:24

Who nurses charlie while they are in court all day?

The staff? Hmm

redshoeblueshoe · 15/07/2017 22:25

SerfTerf I think the only thing that has actually happened toda is the statement from CC's spokesman, a Ukipper. he was also crying outside court - I think on Friday morning.

Sostenueto · 15/07/2017 22:26

The judge will be absolutely livid I should think? Can he do anything about the statement?

MirandaWest · 15/07/2017 22:26

Where do she it say scans are being done this weekend?

thatdearoctopus · 15/07/2017 22:28

Is the fact that they are apparently nursing him throughout the night evidence of their mistrust of the staff? They think they're going to murder him?

Ellie56 · 15/07/2017 22:29

Muckypup
She didn't tell the press guy to piss off she set her chihuahua on him.
Maybe she just didn't want to be interviewed in her pjs.

SimplyNigella · 15/07/2017 22:29

I actually think that the Farages and Goves of this world have had a big part to play in the anti-establishment, anti-expert mindset that CA are a symptom of.
