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 If only their contract was just withdrawn last week, that would have been a dream...why is there so much news and publicity on this issue now????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.

    • So, i've had time to think about ever step of this incident. The main points are: I'd entered my pin number and was on the screen/page where you put in how much you want to withdraw At exactly that point the guy appeared and said the machine had taken his card, and started waving his hands over screen A 'menu' option came up on screen with two choices, one bottom left, one bottom right The bottom left option said something about entering a code to continue with transaction The guy was saying "press that or it'll take your card" - I didn't press either but he might have I haven't ever seen these on-screen options before - I didn't enter any details The guy then disappeared I pressed the 'cancel' button on keypad - the physical keypad - same screen options remained - no card was returned Within 30 seconds of me realising card wasn't coming out I froze card on banking app and immediately had two txt msgs from bank saying transactions were being declined (but one for £251 had already gone though). The ref on bank statement for all three was: CARDTRONICS UK LTD BT KIOSK O/S 54 EA. Bank statement also said the date, time and that there was a £1.50 ATM withdrawl fee.  I checked to see if there's a cashpoint in newsagent next door, but there's not. The cashpoint at petrol station is free so no ATM fee there eiher.   
    • Indeed and I am sure many will go for the music, which I also like. But, for me, at least, none of that makes up for or justifies the wider impact on the park, on the flora and fauna, on the parks' regular users, and on those living near by that are distressed by the noise- the next three days will not be Lover's Rock. In terms of overall impact, we are also talking weeks and months, with the aftermath always problematic with the main area so damaged it has to be reseeded each year and is rendered unusable the rest of summer. My biggest fear is that they will start to grow and add to this event, each year.
    • Please help us find Yun LAU.  He was last seen on Dunstans Road at 12.30 today (23/5/25). He has dementia and is quite deaf. If found, please call police who have his details, or his daughter Jennie (07769666524)
    • Was v. quick for me the other day and four people were ahead of me.
