Reading Twitter is mind boggling. Seriously, who are these people and why are they so utterly incapable of reading and understanding a court judgement Shock.

They don't seem to see that life support is = when removed he will die
Whether he's given drugs or not. And midazolam is only used to murder. Funnily I've had it twice and I'm still alive, and I would much rather have that than be struggling off life support with no intervention
The cries of murderers are really getting to me now, I just wonder how this will affect treatment/hospitals plus staff in the future, I really feel for all the staff

@FlyingBird

I couldn't agree more. From what I can see, it seems to be getting more farcical, not less. I noticed one of the A.A. administrators/sheep has just recently left a FB message imploring the minions to "get down to the hospital quick with a candle". Some from A.A are like extras from a warped Victoria Wood sketch.

Getting more and more odd.. So many random people being tagged. The Queen cause she uses Facebook I'm sure. It is like some odd social experiment and everything that should be the focus isn't. So much lack of understanding on there. Someone has said they'd happily inject the doctor whose going to do it... Lovely

Calling the police I mean come on! That poor person on the end. These all can't be real

x2boys · 22/04/2018 20:15

When I worked in dementia care when patients were on a end of life care plan I gave midazolam and morphine as prescribed I didn't murder anyone some people in Alfies Army are a special kind of stupid Hmm

ClashCityRocker · 22/04/2018 20:15

The thing is, whilst they are cheerfully Googling away the effects of this drug and that drug, no one seems to have managed to check whether the Queen can overrule the courts...or what the pope can actually do.

Its just so tragic that these precious days are being wasted.

ClashCityRocker · 22/04/2018 20:17

There's almost a wilful avoidance of facts on that page. Anyone pointing out that the Queen has no power in this matter, and if she tried to flex too much would cease being Queen pretty darn quickly is lambasted as being a troll or negative.

Bitsandbobsalot · 22/04/2018 20:18

Reading the AA Fb page is genuinely shocking. I can imagine there been riots at AH. I keep hoping TE will calm himself and then the mob but that’s looking less and less likely by the hour Sad

Off with their heads I say.

AA that is of course, not the poor long suffering staff.

reachforthewine · 22/04/2018 20:21

@Merryfeckingchristmas I've not seen the date and time but I have seen the document that says it's supposed to remain private.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 22/04/2018 20:21

I hope the staff get the support they need after this. Always going to be a sad situation but the poets of being called murderers etc and how they should be injected... Its crazy how far its gone now.

x2boys · 22/04/2018 20:21

And what exactly would the police do anyway due to the huge amount of media surrounding this case I'm sure the police are weĺl aware life support is going to be withdrawn imminently especially as they had to go to alder hey last weekend due to alfies army shouting and screaming outside the hospital.

Just caught up after a weekend away. The situation is just awful. All this
Merrily posting suggestions like if we all turn up they can't arrest all of us and alike its almost hystria and lost in the middle of it all is this poor little boy. Now that the date and time ha been realised I can't see that there won't be a police presence at the hospital for this which is a very sad state.

I saw the date earlier today, then someone else stayed it was later than that. Since then the original date and time have been mentioned multiple times.

The hospital will know any information given to the parents will be leaked - the father will keep nothing private. I feel for the staff who are working under such awful conditions. There is no way that poor little baby will be able to pass away with dignity, the father will not allow it. I dread to think what will go on in that hospital at the scheduled time.

GrimSqueaker · 22/04/2018 20:26

They're now ringing 999 repeatedly to report the "murder"... oh and appealing for Prince Harry to come save him.

TidyDancer · 22/04/2018 20:30

On twitter they are tagging lots of soap actors for help. What do they actually think they can do even if they were willing to assist? There has also been a new petition directed at Trump for some reason

The barmy army love a cause like this because, however misguided and outright stupid they may be, it gives their lives meaning and purpose.

CamomileTeaShotofVodka · 22/04/2018 20:31

Reading on the AA page, loads of them have now called the police. And someone else has demanded that everyone "spam the police over and over". That's made me so angry, there will be real emergencies going on that may get overlooked while they're answering calls to this so called army.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 22/04/2018 20:32

That's it and ever something was to change then they can say they've played a part in it. Or if it doesn't they know the truth.

I still have hope some aren't for real.. Its like they're trying to out do each other with suggestions... Police... Child protection.. Prince Harry.. Queen.. Oh white house!

It is bad but you do get sucked into it. Maybe looking for that one voice of reason before their blocked.

DarkDarkNight · 22/04/2018 20:32

The posters on that page are like caricatures. It is very easy to read the judgement online, Alder Hey have a FAQ page answering some of the questions regarding the case. But it is like they have no capacity to understand that Consultants from a world-renowned Children's Hospital or medical experts from around the world may just know more than them.

If they had read the judgement they would see that the Father's legal team were allowed to choose an expert for a second opinion. They could find nobody who could say there was a cure or any treatment at all. All of the witnesses agree on the prognosis.

I know the siblings are active on the AA page, I wonder how the grandparents feel in all of this. Is there nobody to tell TE to stop now. He will regret not spending this time quietly and peacefully with his son.

CamomileTeaShotofVodka · 22/04/2018 20:32

Ok now someone has tagged Kim Jong Un....
