To think that Fathers 4 Justice are a great credit to their cause?

I think not.

I reckon we could all learn a thing or two from them.

I love them!

I think we should allow them all to join the boards, telling the single mothers how shit they are, and all that jazz.

I'm doing this wrong, aren't I?

NinthWave · 08/03/2012 21:20

I saw some of the posts on the MN Facebook group and was stunned that anyone would think it an effective way to win support for their cause.

Ooh, have they made a statement saying that they strongly encourage all fathers who are not in a relationship with their child's mothers to pay their fair share and give support to their kids promptly and without complaining? Have they? Have they?

Sorry, so silly of me. I can't keep anything straight in this fluffy brain of mine.

FrothyDragon · 08/03/2012 21:28

Yes, get back in the kitchen, and pander to the patriarchy, Ladies... F4J are in town. They think they can turn up, dictating how MN is run, whilst posting woman hating shit all over the place?

Shakey1500 · 08/03/2012 21:33

Are they here again?? I refrained from posting on the other part of MN because of it all :(

Tortington · 08/03/2012 21:35

i think that they need to wear their dresses cut to the bias and batwings are so 5 years ago.

BettyPerske · 08/03/2012 21:37

Oh dear. Is giving them all this attention really a good thing?

I didn't know anything about this. Makes me want to leave MN again.

Can we just ignore them and deal on a post by post basis? They LOVE scrapping and getting women upset, seriously don't give them the pleasure. This is what they WANT.

Kenobi · 08/03/2012 21:40

I agree with custardo. Their bums DO look big in that.

betty - satire and humour can destroy dictatorships, let alone some wee willie winkies.

TheCrackFox · 08/03/2012 21:56

I just love the way they accuse single mums of fiddling the benefits system.

They really are a national institution.

Trolling the gingerbread forum and threatening to kidnap Leo Blair - what's not to like?

PomBearAtTheGatesOfDawn · 08/03/2012 22:00

Only if their cause is being wankerish and assaulting women publicly who are not in a position to defend themselves, while their equally wanky mates stand around and laugh - and they think it's even funnier if the whole thing is televised and they can make a mockery of the electoral process at the same time is still irate about this, years after the event. End rant.

What the heck is the ginger bread forum?

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 08/03/2012 22:05

msrisotto: Gingerbread

msrisotto · 08/03/2012 22:08

Oh thanks. . . I didn't think you were all talking in code or anything but I really didn't click that the ginger bread forum was an actual forum. Blush

CreepyWeeBrackets · 08/03/2012 22:10

Probably should had capitalised it. Gingerbread are a fine long-standing organisation dedicated to supporting lone parents. F4J don't, I assume, randomly troll baking or spice-enthusiast websites. Yet.

Would those that continue to spread the false Leo Blair story care to reign it in. It's false, that's been said often enough and if you were not aware then this is someone informing you of such. It was something the press cooked up at the time with the help of a paid stooge - other than that it has no basis in truth. I believe it was one of the issues placed in front of the recent press complaints review. Repeatedly spreading false stories is not exactly a good idea.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out

runningforthebusinheels · 10/03/2012 18:47

And the other stunts spydiii? Handcuffs to female MPs? Hanging out on the roof of MP's? Bit intimidating, no? Purple powder, intimidating court officials, solicitors, charitable organisations? All the threats your members have dished out on other forums?

You are not credible.

That is a rather easy comment to make when you are not the one denied a child, or the parent of same child wanting to see excluded parent. For anyone that has or loves their child(ren) they will realise how powerful that bond is. Being stopped from seeing them for no logical or justifiable reason, in some cases based on nothing more than spite, tends to make one do what needs to be done to raise public awareness. Quite apart from some in power needing their hypocrisy exposed. i.e. politicians very aware of the facts from briefings sent them but who pretend these things do not go on.

If you were walking down the street and someone took your child (for that is what it amounts to for many fathers, albeit in a different way) I think you'd be surprised if I said to you that you were being a bit extreme by handcuffing yourself to a politician that pretends noone took your child. Think about it.
