Leonie Penna, was until very recently singing the praises of the Albany Midwives and all of a sudden did a 360 degree turn, I wonder why....could it be this....

As we all know the Albany Midwives have a philosophy of care, and were very open to all about that, about a woman's choice and about giving the woman the confidence to be able to muster all her strength to give birth: I guess some people did not like that and that is why they were attacked. If only their contract was just withdrawn last week, that would have been a dream...why is there so much news and publicity on this issue now???? Its because, but they were first bullied for a whole year, which I can't prove right here, right now, but it will be proved, then they were blamed for the deaths of two babies, which actually was not their fault and have subsequenly been cleared for. How many babies died in Kings College Hospital over 12 years, more then 2 I suspect. This case is very important, because if the Albany go, a trusted and immensely loved group in my community, just like that, then really, no one cares in the NHS, because this is so important, we are giving birth for Christ Sake!!!!!


Kings College Hospital have no idea what a Pandora's Box they have opened....it cannot be closed now.....Women demand choice, we want the Albany model of care, and we want it now. And will get it.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
