The whole country from the Prime Minister downwards is relieved by the withdrawal of the ludicrous criminal accusations and other legal moves to fetter this innocent family, whose only crime is to want the best treatment for their child. And I use the word crime because that is what was invented by a combination of hospital hysteria and police ineptitude.
There are many questions outstanding and this story will run and run, because a shocked nation has rightly made it a cause. While all will wish God Speed to this family in its re-unification and quest for treatment for brave little Aysha, the country will now want answers. Three stand out for immediate investigation.
What exactly did the Southampton General Hospital tell the Hampshire Police?
Why did the police not advise that no crime had been committed and why did they invent one?
What were the Portsmouth City Authorities told that caused them to rush to the High Court to have Ashya made a Ward of Court, without the parents, their legal representatives or anyone else being aware of it?
It could very well be that when these answers are known a crime has indeed been committed, but not by the King family.
