The family of Archie Battersby are going to the European Court of Human rights this morning to try and get the decision to turn off life suppprt reversed.

The supreme court upheld the decision made by the high court so this is the last option.

A desperately sad situation.

I'll speak to Mrs Eggs. She may call Cats Protection to get them collected and looked after. :newthumb:

It is and you've got to hand it to them they are really fighting for their child. But sadly I think you're right, they are hoping for the impossible.

This bloke's business was making over $5 million a week peddling this pendejada.

What with religion, guns, crazy far out ultra right wing politics, overt patriotism and the like there is an incredible amount of money being hoovered up by these conmen in America.

trump made hundreds of millions IN DAYS just by saying the election was rigged - with no proof whatsoever.

This pastor in New York was robbed of $1,000,000 in jewelry during a sermon. Personally I think it was staged but why aren't his followers asking why he's wearing that much in jewellery when they're living payday to payday.

And he's tax exempt. He's about as holy as Nick Cotton but he's raking it in.

The money is out there. You just need to find your angle

Whitehead said there were gunmen with firearms raised to deacons at the door as well. There were about 20 to 25 congregants present, police said.

I listened to a radio show once which detailed how they're like strikers. Do well at one church and another bigger church comes in and makes you an offer. Then you move up a division or two.

Preform badly and your preaching somewhere sh!te :lol:

Tragedy in Los Angeles this week. A woman plows through a red light at about 100mph & hits the cars crossing, killing 6 including a woman, her baby & her partner. That woman was also heavily pregnant. That's a whole family just wiped out in an instant.

8 others also injured, some seriously.

The driver is a 37 year old ICU nurse from Texas. Apparently she'd been arguing with her boyfriend, got drunk then had this crash.

It just makes you think. This lady may have led an exemplary life & in a moment of madness she's a mass murderer. Of course, she may have been a complete c*nt her whole life, I don't know her.

Houston nurse facing 6 counts of murder after fiery California car wreck

Nicole Linton had been involved in at least 13 crashes before last Thursday's deadly wreck, authorities said. LA prosecutors say that Linton has been in at least 13 car accidents, though they have no evidence she was ever under the influence of drugs or alcohol during any of them.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Monday that a Houston nurse is facing six counts of murder in Los Angeles County following a fiery car crash that killed five people, one of whom was a pregnant woman, KHOU reported.

Nicole Linton, 37, is also facing five counts of vehicular manslaughter; the DA's office did not file a manslaughter charge for the unborn fetus.

Linton faces up to 90 years in prison or a life sentence if convicted on all charges.
