im bleeping done with her.

So, they accept he could pass just getting to the ambulance or a local Hospice at best … but they still want to consider shoving him in a plane and flying to Italy/Turkey/Japan?

Can people really be that thick?

she needs to step away from the crack pipe

I very much doubt that there is a medical team willing to take the risk of being involved in any transfer, NHS or private. You just know she would then try to blame them when the inevitable happened en route?

that is just a different breed of person

I used to work frontline in a jobcentre. It’s quite frightening the amount of feral, thick people there are. I had very little awareness before i started in there.

I don't understand why the hospital don't just switch him off now. It is plain as day to anyone with more than two brain cells that she is going to lose each and every stupid appeal she puts in. They are never going to face any backlash. They should tell her they're turning it off at X time regardless of any appeals she puts in and regardless of whether she's present or not. It's not like she hasn't already dragged their reputation through the mud, they need to do what's right for Archie now.

The trouble is,Hollie does have a lot of public sympathy and I don't think they would dare to just tell her it,it was happening and that's that.

It's a horrible state of play, isn't it? I think the hospital are very wary of acting alone on this (although they are within their rights to) and so want the hand-holding from the judiciary, but in turn, that demands more time, all the back and forth (which Archie's parents are aware of) and in the meantime, the child is effectively in limbo. Awful.
