I believe the technical term for them is "plum smugglers".

Where I'm from we call them "John Stockons", but I'm absolutely in love with "plum smugglers".  Tremendous.

 

And yeah, I know.  Phrasing.

I think plum is more than a bit generous.

Tom Evans and Kate James will ask the Court of Appeal on Monday to allow Alfie Evans to continue treatment.

A date to withdraw life support had been set but his parents hope to transfer him to a hospital in Italy.

 

Mr Evans said he had tried to discharge Alfie from Alder Hey Children's Hospital but was stopped by police.

 

Mr Evans, 21, and Ms James, 20, from Liverpool, want to take Alfie to a hospital in Rome and say they have a private ambulance and jet on stand-by ready to take him there.

 

Speaking outside Alder Hey on Friday, Mr Evans said he had been told he could face prison if he removes Alfie from the hospital. He said there are police officers on the ward to stop him taking his son.

 

He said they had "attempted to discharge" Alfie from the care of Alder Hey "by formally withdrawing their duty of care" on Thursday.

 

But he said the "alarm was pulled and police were alerted" and within 15 or 20 minutes there were three police officers at Alfie's bedside.

 

"If he stays here and dies, he dies, if he goes and he dies at least he has died a hero, trying," he said.
