It was very ill advised for medical staff at Southampton General to organise a PR defence in the media today of their absolutely disgraceful performance over the Ashya King case, when they showed a serious lack of judgement and understanding, and turned the child’s parents into international criminals on the run, when all they wanted was to seek alternative treatment for their child.
Southampton General, whatever its positive qualities, is possessed of an unacceptable level of professional arrogance in its paediatric department and a lack of interpersonal skills when dealing with parents who question their judgement. I know. I was forced to agree to a new treatment regime for my daughter against her and her parents wishes and threatened with a police protection order if we did not concede to their demands. We did. The hospital proceeded with its plan. It proved fatal.
This hospital’s decision to re-open this whole sorry episode following the successful treatment of Ashya overseas, will cause this family further trauma and betrays the same lack of judgement as was demonstrated during the incident itself.

Lise Bauer is born in Africa in 1906, brought to England by her parents from where she is expelled with them in 1914, because her father is an East Prussian. They settle in America and become Americans, but return to Europe in the 1920’s. Here Lise is involved in the rise of the Nazi party, marries one of Hitler’s closest associates and later has a relationship with Hitler himself, before divorcing her husband and marrying an English friend of Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess. She settles again in England with the consent of the security services and she and her husband establish a cell to act as a secret communication channel between Hitler and Churchill at the critical period of WWII.
The novel offers a new view of Hitler’s sexual relationships, a plot to overthrow Churchill and the flight to Scotland by Rudolf Hess. Using historical characters often portrayed in a new light, this dramatic account challenges the accepted view of recorded history. It leaves readers wondering why they were never told about double lives and events shrouded in secrecy.
