Fathers 4 Justice to disband
Following my post yesterday, it has been reported that the fathers' rights group Fathers 4 Justice is to disband, in the wake of the furore over the Leo Blair kidnap affair. As I have indicated previously, I have issues with the methods of such groups, but they have a right to peaceful protest and it is therefore unfortunate when they are undermined by extremist elements. I fully understand how emotive the issues of contact with one's children are (I have often witnessed it firsthand), but resorting to criminal activity can only be damaging to the cause and add fuel to those who argue that such activity 'only goes to prove what unsuitable fathers they are'.
