Family Justice Review : My Version!




Dedicated to Eddie and Matthew.
This Autumn The Ministry of Justice in London will publish its findings of the Family Justice Review to which I participated as part of the Partners Group who has contributed to this enquiry for the past 18 months. I have already detected a number of shortfalls, therefore I have set out my Version of how it should read from my first hand experience at entering Family Court in March 2004. My contact with Family Court Judges, Solicitors, Barristers, CAFCASS, Social Services and Police ultimately to the CSA and above all the impact this has on my Children for when this should have been ‘in their best interest’. Instead what I witnessed between March and October 2004 ranged from inconsistency to outright corruption. Therefore I embarked on what has become almost 8 years of research worldwide within input right across the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Greece and a number of European Countries. I have converted my findings into a frank and honest Blog and I regard this Blog as the defining culmination by this reluctant campaign.
I hope that any shortfall in the Ministry of Justice version on the Family Justice Review can be made up from my contribution here and both could lead to this God awful law being reformed!
C.S.A./CAFCASS: For me The Coalition Government could make immediate savings by disbanding both of these ineffectual organisations, neither have a place in Family Justice as I will show in the following paragraphs:-

SOCIAL SERVICES: I believe Social Services has no place in Family Court (they are ill-equipped) and rather like CAFCASS will offer the Family Judge a snapshot and spurious testimony to which a Judge feels duty bound to apply, making CAFCASS and Social Services his scapegoat for the future, to offer irreversible orders to whom nobody beyond that Judge can scrutinise.

Social Services should only be called upon in the case where there is a ‘History’ of Violence or Abuse prior to a couple coming to Court NOT as a weapon of false allegations once they have arrived at Court. Social Services should be left to concentrate on Child Welfare so Horror Stories, such as Baby P, Victoria Climbie and Khyra Ishaq are reduced.

FAMILY COURT JUDGE: Of the 6 or so Judges I came before most were reasoned balanced people who even if I regard their view as against me I saw the reasoning behind it. I did however come before one patronising and biased Judge who seemed to perpetuate premise of Single Parenting and by strange coincidence at this time I read an article that said Ambitious Judges who go against the Father have greater chance of promotion and so was the case here. This D.J. reserved my case for her sole consideration but was made up to H.H.J. during the process so failed to appear at the final hearing, instead a fellow D.J. whom I regarded as her ‘Lacky’ sat in and just went along with the biased Judges’ rhetoric.

Closed Court precludes any balance analysis of proceedings and when Jack Straw as our one time Justice Minister attempted to ‘Open’ the Court, he was met by derision by the very Judges who should have been called to account. Camilla Cavendish, who won an award for her Family Law column in The Times, was one of the first Journalists to be invited into Family Court in Ipswich and it was clear to me that at that time the same safeguards put in place for sensitive criminal cases could apply to Civil Laws, i.e. Child A, Family XYZ or even a serial number Journalists could refer to a case when given out to news of Parliament.

Judges either willingly or otherwise collude with Barristers and Solicitors in perpetuating this corruption where financial gain can be achieved by their Court, rarely do they benefit either party, least of all the children involved and due to the closed nature of these Courts there is no accountability (if you appeal is it likely one Judge will contradict another).
Money is the fuel to injustice and closed courts hide this fact from public scrutiny!
BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS: The moment a couple steps into the Family Solicitors office they are perpetual conflict and whilst some Solicitors claim to offer Arbitration services (mine and my ex-partners did not), this goes against the grain of what they want to do, which insures they plunder the Legal Aid system for Mum whilst rendering Dad bankrupt with no regard to the Child’s welfare as they are supposed to subscribe to in Court. The Barristers take a similar line, I spent an entire duration debating the safety of allowing my Children to ride on their Go-Karts near the Road and the last 2 minutes for me to be told to leave the Family Home! All Smoke and Mirrors I’m afraid which because claimants should they want to perpetuate false allegations, which on one occasion for me was that I was an alcoholic (in fact I drink less alcohol in a year than some do in one weekend) spurious as in fact at the time I was employed to drive 40 tonne trucks for Salisbury’s, Tesco and M & S, I doubt if these would have allowed such a person to take charge of a £100,000 vehicle and Loads of a similar value.
The Law Society, or whatever they call themselves these days, cannot make a complaint against a firm of Solicitors for fear of being sued, they do not have the teeth to regulate as they should!
GRANDPARENTS: At the beginning of June this year I read a copy of The Mature Times and was dismayed to learn that the Family Justice Review did not see the merit in giving Grandparents rights of contact with their Grandchildren. I am of the view that when Parents maybe in dispute and possibly separating, who better to offer stability and continuity to children than Grandparents or other Family Members where appropriate.( Thanks Sir Bob).
Surely this would be better then Social services making their trademark snap-shot appraisals that all too often can result in children ending up in irreversible care. The very people who Social Services and family court should be serving , the children end up living a life full on the regrets instilled by this very system. I have an example of a case where a parents dogs often barked, it turned out they had kennels so the RSPCA were called but no problems were found none the less the Social Services got wind inspected the home and an 8 year old girl was put into irreversible care even when it was later proved there was no problems here either!


Police: The police have no role to play in family (civil) law as they can only deal with criminal law but it does illustrate the starkest discrimination the law has to offer.
In my case the initial court order allowed contact with my children to take place via the schools so as to avoid conflict with the mother we would each collect and return them to school at our contact times and this worked fine for over one year.Sadly , and with the help of the biased judge contact was changed so it had to take place outside the former family home. So as per the revised court order I would show up at the prescribed time and place ready to take my sons on for the evening or weekend etc, but then the mother would start withholding the youngest which caused more problems when it later turned out she was bribing him to stay whilst my eldest was almost penalised for coming with me. When I objected to my son being with held, ( he was always pleased to see me after school) the police would be called and in spite of me waving my court order almost Chamberlain style they were unable to enforce it on the mother but were happy to arrest me for breaching the peace if I did not leave confusing the old boy so by 2007 he to was with held and to this date I have not had any of the Court appointed contact and all the police will say is take the mater back to court, what is the point? Mothers are regarded as ‘civil’ whilst Fathers are seen as criminal!

Childhood is such a short span of time we should protect it at all costs!

Children: Children in all walks of life have been given rights in order to protect them and this is right and proper.Except, I believe, between the ages of 11 and 16 where I feel Parental responsibility should not be overruled by a child’s right when all to often they are too young to reason the ramifications. It cannot be right that a child can sue a parent for a relatively minor dispute or indeed be allowed to make false allegations just ask the teacher too!
However in the sacred secret world of Family Court who’s continued rhetoric is ” in the children’s best interest!” seldom allow the children to be heard and all the judge has to work with is a contrived interpretation from a court reporter (SS or CAFCASS) where mother has been the dominating force so the children end up acting on her will not what they truly want which in most cases is to see as much of both parents as possible in spite of separation!
I will go into this more in the paragraph headed The Process further on. I do however believe that children who reach secondary school age should be given the right to alter a court order as their live will become more flexible in their teens and they may just wish o pop in and see either parent at odd times and should not be constrained by an order designed to show them routine and stability in their younger years. Also there may be times a child wants to play football and have dad there during mum’s contact and mum may want to take them to the cinema during dads contact this should be agreed amicably and not by seeking to score points off each other or try to show one parent in a better light then the other. Mothers should no longer be seen as the resident parent and father as the absent one, they should be equal in their parental responsibilities.

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY: The most important role a person can have in life is that of a Parent. We all come to it with trepidation and rely on our Parents’ experience to handle the initial ‘shock’, but by the time a second child comes along skills are gained and we feel more relaxed, but nonetheless most parents will still have their childrens’ best interests at heart.
One of my children had a soft nature so would cry or object to the slightest thing when young. My other Son was more robust and would walk in with blood dripping from his knee from a football injury but would say nothing. As a caring Dad I would apply the same level of care to both children just in case.

I would link PR to equal Parenting, both Parents would appear on the Birth Certificate should be subjected in law to being responsible for their Child’s Welfare to the age of 18 or leaving home/full time education. Not only in the case of nurturing, education, feeding and home security but as a child gets older and is capable of breaking the law whilst their age all to often enables them to be immune from the law and at such times I believe the Parents (BOTH) should be liable for Fines, Reparation even imprisonment in the case of a Child committing a serious offence such as Rape or Murder.

This I believe would focus the minds of Parents from the start (and maybe would be under age Parents) that it is down to them to make the best effort to do the right thing for their children and not to enter into such an undertaking without considering such facts that could lead to legal ramifications.


I would give credit to much of my opinions on child welfare to Shaun Bailey. He is a wise head on young shoulders and certainly inspires me, I just wish others would listen to this quietly spoken champion of the young!
Education:
As a Sub-Heading to this paragraph I would seek to align School with a remit of PR. We entrust Teachers with the care and welfare of our Children for a larger part of their childhood than we see them ourselves so in respect to the Teachers and our responsibility as Parents we should share the task of instilling morals, respect and responsibility onto young minds. Children should be controlled and disciplined when needed by Parents and equally by Teachers. I would also suggest this points to the Education fraternity.

1.Children to be monitored throughout their Primary years including Pre-School and a Report drawn up in the Final Year of Primary School that outlines an individuals’ potential, so that any shortfalls are clearly identified before they move onto Secondary Education and endeavours are made to eradicate such shortfalls before the end of Year 6.
2.Year 6 should be seen as a preparatory year in readiness for what the Child will have to face at Secondary School and to be aware of Peer pressure, Media pressure, the importance of what they can attain from an appropriate Education, Legal Studies, so rights and ramifications can be investigated then finally Sex Education, as by age 11 children would have some understanding today.
3.A true appraisal of an individuals’ ability assessed, so those who excel in academia can follow that route. Those who do not, should be encouraged in aspects they do excel at, such as, Sports, Arts, Music etc and so long as they are supported in the basics of Reading and Writing, should from Year 7 be directed toward vocational training so they can learn Skills and Trades more appropriate to their ability.
4.National Service seems to carry some form of stigma who went through it in the Post War Years. I would however, advocate those children who seek to leave School without Qualification at the earliest leaving date, should be made aware they will only be eligible for Benefit which will only be paid by attending some form of apprenticeship or Further Education culminating in the completion within a minimum 3 Year Course, that they will then leave with a recognised Qualification or Vocational Skill, otherwise the previous 3 year benefit payment will be refundable to the Educational Authority.
It is important that we start now as this proposal will take at least a generation to come through in real terms and a better attitude will emerge by those given this opportunity as our Citizens of the future.
The last question asked on the M.O.J enquiry was ” What question should we have asked?” I offered the suggestion that the number of suicides attributed to failing Family Courts and CSA worldwide should be considered!



No good wearing a purple scarf Dave if you don't really mean it!
Would you prefer this;
http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/publications/policy/moj/family-justice-review-final-report.pdf
Or this? Davey's Law!


THE PROCESS: FAMILY JUSTICE REFORMED: Separating Parents should BOTH be eligible for £500 in Legal Aid so as to arrive at a conciliatory process for the ultimate benefit and security of the children and should submit their claims simultaneously to an Arbitration Service such as ACAS for a jointly agreed order referring to:-

Shared Care
Parental Responsibility
Contact (Reviewable when a Child reaches Age11)
Residency
Financial Settlement and Maintenance
This Contract should be binding and presented to a Senior Judge who will also confirm this is Legal and Binding and up to both parties to ensure it works otherwise it is enforceable on each Parent.

Solicitors and Barristers would not be required at this stage as there would be no disputes and therefore would not need to be perpetuated.

Social Services and CAFCASS need not apply, unless there is a history of Violence, Abuse or threat to the Childrens’ Welfare by EITHER Parent. If the Judge has any concerns he should have access to the Familys’ Medical history and thereafter order an investigation so as to prevent false allegations arising at point of separation.

Once it is made clear that this order is binding and enforceable on BOTH Parents, should they wish to return matters to Court it will have to be at the individuals’ own expense as no future Legal Aid will be available and this should focus minds by all concerned to get it right first time.
I have sought to remove the financial incentives and conflict from the Family Court so there would be very rare need for Solicitors, Barristers and social services there!
Grandparents should also have rights of access after separation, but where possible to have access to coincide with the Parents Contact, but above all to be there to show support, stability and continuity to very young children.

Childrens’ Schooling should not be disrupted and both Parents should stay in close contact with the School as often as possible.

Parents should also keep the Children with the same Family GP and notify each other of any concerns that may occur during their respective contact times.

What would Dad have made of all this?

My late father would have been 90 today! Having sat in the rear gunner turret of the Lancaster 'Just Jane ' in a Lincolnshire farm yard,
looking out onto rainy open fields a few years ago, I wondered just just how he must have felt doing it for real almost 70 years earlier, already 200 miles from home and about to set off into the black skies over Germany and at the age of just 23 how could he contain such fear?

As part of Squadron35 Pathfinder group he would have be among the first crews to leave, later the same squadron was ear marked for the Tiger Force destined for Japan, but the Americans dropping the atom bomb meant he was spared this having survived numerous raids over Nazi Germany, instead the freshly painted white Lancaster's of his Squadron where given the honour of 'Goodwill tour' of the USA in recognition of that countries contribution to the war. (You can view the video of this tour below!)

I was dismayed when our Lame-Duck prime Minister claimed to an equally Lame - Duck US president that we were junior partners in the second world war. (Click on this blogs title to see the response from the PM to my complaint to this comment). I doubt if my father his Australian pilot Bob Newbiggin, his fellow crews from New Zealand, Canada, Poland and Singapore, as well the gallant day light raider from the USAF would have considered any of them as junior partners. Bomber Command lost 56,000 in night time sorties whilst the USAF lost over 44,000 in their day light raids. All this was done n the name of our freedoms, our right to vote and the democracy we all too often take for granted today!

We were denied the right of a vote on the EU referendum this week yet the majority of UK citizens want it, and whilst the capitalist protesters have closed St. Paul's for the first time since WW2 and before, I would appeal to them that no matter how just they feel their call is please make way this November to allow those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms to be remembered with dignity, it is the authorities who are at fault not the common people!

Blundering Cameron also set out an assault on so called 'absent' fathers' on fathers day in June seeking to align them with drink-drivers! Well as a professional HGV driver of 35 years who has been alienated from his sons ages 15 and 12 for the past 4 years by the very system he and his ministers are content to preside over,in spite of wide ranging corruption at many levels I must object. Once again I have had a 4 page explanation from the Ministry of Justice giving the PM's view and indeed the Governments ethos on Family Justice and I will probably publish this before 5th November 2011.

So on the 5th November 2011 some 67 years after my dad was carrying out exercises over RAF Bottesford, I will be standing at Churchill's feet in Parliament Square, London with my banner saying enough is enough of this and justice must prevail, and unlike the capitalist protesters I know exactly what I am demanding; Justice in the family Court, and its affiliated agencies and equality in parenting so we can at last see JUSTICE4CHILDREN here in the UK and around the world!

World Focus (5th Nov) London!



Remember remember the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot..........
The Family Justice Review currently being looked at by the Ministry of Justice in London is due to be published shortly ( this Autumn) Whilst I believe chairman David Norgrove is acting in good faith and is truly seeking justice in the murky world of family Law, I believe the Government's motives are merely cost saving!
I have contributed to this review for over one year now both the 5 questionnaire and the more forthright 32 question version including the last question which was what question should we have ask ( which I felt was quite impressive ) and I used the opportunity to raise the issue of suicides as a result of CSA and Family court injustice.

Whilst I did tell fellow campaigners to give this a chance when they were describing it as a fudge , I have to say early aces to some of the views expressed by David Norgrove and his team are a little disappointing;




David Norgrove expressed his thanks for the cooperation by the so called legal professional, whilst Family Court Judges rely too heavily on spurious snap-shot testimony by CAFCASS or other Social services Court reporters with irreversible damaging consequences!

Solicitors and Barristers seek to agitate already tense situations so they can plunder the legal aid budget and render dads bankrupt , there is very little chance of conciliation here!

Mr. Norgrove has already ruled out giving more rights to Grandparents when it seem commonsense that in many cases where parents are in disputed the best way to show children a continuity in their life style must be (where possible) through access to Grandparents or other extended family members I hope the panel will reconsider this one!

I was pleased to see that the Review wants to give children more say the only area of their rights where they are ignored are the secretive Family Courts and whilst I hope this does not prove to be a gimmick, it is time children certainly 10 years and up should have a say in their futures!

I would hope the BBC Question Time programme or similar would have a dedicated debate to this review and include interested parties included the Justice Minister, DWP Minister, Erin Pizzey, Sir Bob Geldof, John Hemming MP among others!

.....If we have anything to do with it family injustice will STOP!




Lets make this Guy Fawkes night one to celebrate for success!

Never did I expect to face the injustice I have 38 years on!

Please explore this blog and click on pictures and blog titles for more including a new e-petition and Canada conversation!


This week presents some challenges for me, in addition to the 19th being 4 years to the day my sons went AWOL, I will have the regret of those lost years for the rest of my life and regret I would not wish on my children, when the blame lies on just one person! At this point I would like to pay tribute to my friend Wee Cheng in Singapore who has raised awareness of Parental Alienation more then anyone else I know and I hope he and I and others will find peace of mind one day!

I was also expected to attend one of three court appearances with the CSA on 21st, but having been given 3 times and 3 locations it transpires the location close to my home was not changed and it remained in Norwich some 2+ hours drive away, so at the 11th hour have to hope I will not be recorded as missing but prepared to be seen another day, just one more episode in the smoke and mirrors world of the CSA!

And to cap it all I will be 53 this Friday Ho Hum, lets make some noise that day and get the media on side!!



I hope the party conference season will not become a good time to publish bad news from the Family Justice Review, and it goes unnoticed!!

Family Justice Review : PROTEST!



I would call upon all like minded folk to follow the many Family Justice, Child Welfare, Social Services, Grandparents and CSA groups and protest at Parliament Square London over the weekend of the 4th to 7th November 2011.



Last time I parked my van at the feet of Churchill I received a £120 fine for congestion charge










This for me represents our civil rights march of the 21st Century, and unlike our 406 years of celebrating failure (an English thing) lets get it right this time and get our message across to the heart of Government through protest and in the meantime bombard their lackey's, the media and news organisations, with our message loud and clear!


Short of declaring US diplomatic immunity ,I wonder what our war time leader would have made of constraints on entering our capital city when he had fought for freedom of speech!







http://world4justice.wordpress.com/


It may seem a little disingenuous to protest when the Family Justice Review has yet to be published, and may still be by that day, but early revelations show it is likely , as many campaigner have said , to be a fudge or whitewash, just to appease those who want to see something being done.


Those of us who have been oppressed by these draconian laws for too long will want to see a more robust approach and society as a whole will need to see evidence of action being taken at grass roots level to show enforcement of parental responsibilities for the young still at school through to those of an age when they participate in riots. We have been forced to remain silent......till NOW!

Ministers Content To Preside Over Corruption!

Lord Justice the Rt. Hon Ken Clarke MP has done about as much as his predecessors, Lord Falconer and Lord Straw, in Family Justice Reform...a big fat ZERO!




It is the failing judiciary that rely too heavily of court reporters that should be under more scrutiny over their judgements!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrEylhYcK-M&feature=player_embedded]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrEylhYcK-M&feature=player_embedded
The Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC MP, serves as our Attorney-General, and who, I am told, will not consider individual cases, so whilst he saw fit to intervene in the case of Chris Jefferies who appeared to be 'Tried by media' over the Jo Yeate's murder in Bristol last Christmas, he fails to see the merit of asking why so many dads are going to prison simply for being a DAD!

The Rt Hon Iain Duncan-Smith MP has shown some pragmatic thinking when it comes to our family values in the modern age, yet he is still content to preside over an organisation (CSA) with in his DWP remit that goes beyond normal conventions of recognised law and are prepared to act in a way akin to the former KGB and Gestapo in their tactics!
http://world4justice.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/when-the-csa-is-in-need-of-reform-who-you-gonna-call/
The Rt. Hon Michael Gove MP who, as Children's Minister, was prepared to speak on behalf of the Home Secretary in the wake of the recent riots in England last month with his characteristic robust manner, although he still seems more then content to maintain the Status Quo established by the last Government over children's services and our failing social services.



The one thing his predecessor, Ed Balls MP, got right during his tenure in this office was to sack a failing Children's services director for her negligence.

So why has the latest incumbent failed to overrule a subsequent ruling that allows that self same director from being compensated up to £1 million for losing her Job? http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16001310

http://media.causes.com/ribbon/708179


Lord Justice Ward complained in The Times on 1st May 2008 that; Vengeful mothers leave good fathers powerless to see child, says judge he then refers to a similar case in Bristol in December 2009
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article3850658.ecehttp://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Judge-appeals-Christmas-reunion-fathers-daughters/story-11273089-detail/story.html



If he as own of our law makers from the Upper house is unable, or is it unwilling to put this law right who does he expect will? Lord Justice's Ward, Wall and Woolf should also seek to disband the appalling CAFCASS too whilst they are at it!


So what of the so called legal professionals? Barristers and Solicitors who are content to plunder the legal aid purse for Mum whilst rendering Dad bankrupt. Just how is this serving the best interest of the children? History tells us that Adolf Hitler came up with the slogan of In the best interest of the children knowing everyone will follow in the belief it was true, in family court it most certainly is NOT!



Well all we have to look ahead to is the publication of the Family Justice Review in the coming weeks, but things already do not bode well. Interim reports from it's Author David Norgrove show he is more then content to complement the legal professionals for their submissions to his call, whilst they are plundering legal aid and failing our children on a daily basis! It is time they all had a wake up call! I am also disappointed that Mr. Norgrove cannot see the merit of giving Grandparents parental rights, especially at a time their own children could be having problems. Would it not be more beneficial to maintain a continuous relationship with their family through the grandparents then impose the snap-shot antics of social services onto the scene?




Knowing the enormity of the task in hand, has Mr. Norgrove given enough time to this Review or will all the professionals clan together to form the outcome they desire? Daveyone

Should we really put so much faith in this one Civil Servant?

Please Mr. Cameron understand the principle of Parental Alienation before you tar all fathers as absent through choice when it is your system that forces many of us away in spite of our wish and desire to support our children! Daveyone


Imagine the savings that could be made let alone the heartache that could be stopped, if the CSA and CAFCASS were disbanded and Social Services were not part of the family court process!


If this subject was truly scrutinised it would blow; MP,s expenses ( and MEP,s when it dawns on them) and the hacking scandals out of the water. This corruption is on a major scale and I believe is more damaging to society to the extent I and many others regard it as the terrorist from within!

Focus on Parental Alienation as Child Abuse!


I have long been inspired by the dignity and resolve of my friend Wee Cheng in Singapore.

(Click on the blog title for a political view on this and follow this campaign at
Focus on Parental Alienation as Child Abuse/Facebook)

I wish I had his stamina to promote the case for Parental Alienation Awareness as he has across the world, especially as I arrive at my forth year to the day (19th September) since my 2 sons were willfully withheld by their mother. Now aged 12 and 15 I will never recapture those lost years at a time most crucial for a Dad to be with his kids especially in these days of massive peer and media pressure, and my anticipated regret that I may never rekindle any form of meaningful relationship with them again. I only hope and pray they never have the life of regret I surely will because of the actions of one person condoned by an appalling system!


There are many great organisations around the world who highlight the plight of children taken from a traditional family setting and deprived contact with the 'non resident' parent, most often the Dad but also on occasion Mum. The law seems to discriminated between good and bad parents and conversely benefits the bad parents where good parents try to normalise the situation as much as possible!

http://www.paawareness.org/Whilst the corrupt systems from around the world allows for a vengeful mother to use her children as tools, weapons or bargaining chips for their own self serving financial gains Parental Alienating will thrive and appears to be actively condoned by Family Court , so called child welfare organisations and in time the public as a whole. Extended family are swept up in it so whilst one family benefits from regular visitations grandparents uncles and aunts from the alienated family do not! Police, schools and other public bodies tend to take the side of the alienating family as doubt is cast on the integrity of the alienated family who never get to prove their case.



So when people are scathing about feckless and runaway dads firstly consider those of us who are branded as 'absent' when as in my case I would have loved to have been prime carer as I wanted the best I could do for my children. At the same time consider the mothers (in the main) who deliberately set out to have children, then gain all the benefits the state has to offer including limit less legal aid when it all inevitably goes wrong and then how the courts and CSA actively encourage this behaviour allowing the mothers case to be taken as read whilst the father is seldom heard. The Mother could win a million on the lottery but the CSA will still purse a father to the point of him living on a park bench or.......Suicide!






I have the prospect this month of 'celebrating' 4 years of Parental Alienation on the 19th,the last time I had meaningful contact with my children in spite of court orders allowing regular access. On the 21st I have been summoned to court for CSA arrears in spite of the process sending me bankrupt and unlikely to recover anytime soon whilst the mother walks a way with the former family home sold to the tune of £240,000 for her. I am left with difficulty paying a premium mortgage on a second family home provided for on truck driver wages close to the former one and both schools! All this I did in the true best interest of my children, yet I could face Jail!


On the 23rd September I arrive at my 53rd Birthday!

I have admired Shaun Bailey for some time, this softly spoken guy comes with a raft of common-sense! Davey

'Paedos' Charter........................?

In this instance the child's human rights should be paramount, and we should all act in their best interest to protect them!
These Paedo's should forfeit any rights the minuet they impose their will on a child!









Attorney- General, selective justice!
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm110706/debtext/110706-0003.htm
I have contacted the Attorney- General and ask him to consider the injustice I have incurred over the past 7 years but once again he has deferred this to the Ministry of Justice. I had hoped he would also consider the plight of Dave Hawksworth as he seems more interested in high profile cases as with the support he offered to Chris Jefferey's who appeared to face trial by media last December over the Jo Yeates murder in the city at Christmas.

To this end I call on the BBC to broadcast a special edition to coincide with the forthcoming Family Justice review due for publication this autumn. I would hope to see contributions not only from the Reviews chairman, David Norgrove but also Shaun Bailey, John Hemming MP, Lynne Featherstone MP. Camilla Cavendish Times journalist, Iain Duncan Smith DWP minister, Lord Justice Ward, Ken Clarke,Jack Straw and London Mayor Boris Johnson, Even Sir Bob;
together they could hold the key to solving this burning issue!

What hope I ask when our eminent Law Lord complains of injustice himself in The Times on 1st May 2008 and again in Bristol in 2009 yet as a law maker surely he has the power to fix it?
The ineffectual Lord Justice Falconer did nothing to advance the reform of family justice, Jack Straw did not enforce his open court policy for fear he may offend the very judges that needed scrutiny, and Ken Clarke who was seen napping during the PM's speech following the riots still remains oblivious to the problem.

I truly hope the publication of the forthcoming review does not prove to be the fudge many of us are expecting!

Lest we forget!
In the year we saw the last of the World War One ‘Tommy’s’ complete his journey on this earth and many World War Two warriors now considering how many more memorials they will attend especially in foreign lands, we appreciate what their lives and those who did not return stand for in giving us freedom of speech and a quality of life many of us take for granted and my thoughts of my late father a peace loving man facing the horror of war from the rear gunning turret of a Lancaster Bomber.
