The people abroad are not reacting to the facts of the case but a caricature presented to them by those with ulterior motives. Many of them seem to think, as you've said, that the Government have decided this but they have not. We will be called all sorts of things but in the end the interests of the child should take precedence, not America's opinion of us.

Indeed who gives a toss what they think, I'd have thought they'd be more concerned with the anything from 10 000- 40 000 people that die every year because they can't afford insurance, still at least they have freedom or had it I should say.
I do have an opinion on this though, if Alfie were my son I'd probably do exactly the same as his parents.
