A week of babies. Poor Alfie Evans lost his life at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool after they switched off his life support system. But the big question: should the UK government have banned Alfie’s family from taking him to Italy for treatment? Who does the child belong to, the parents or the state? In complete contrast came news of Prince Louis Arthur Charles, his surprisingly French name coming hot on the heels of President Macron’s love affair with Donald Trump in Washington. That new kid on the block, Macron, seems to be spreading his influence far and wide in his pursuit to be the first President of a United States of Europe. Yes I know that Prince Louis was probably named after the late Louis Mountbatten, but go tell that to France! And who does baby Louis belong to, William and Kate or the State? I’ll leave you to decide.
