Real Fathers For Justice

My congratulations to Real Fathers for Justice on their most recent handcuffing of Children's Minister Beverley Hughes. Whatever you think about them and their cause, and I think they've got a real point to make, it demonstrates that the smearing and resulting disbandment of Fathers 4 Justice after the spurious reports linking it to a plan to kidnap Tony Blair's son by fringe elements has been unsuccessful. That such a simple trick so effectively undermined an entirely valid campaign by such a large disenfranchised group should leave more than Matt O'Connor, the poor exhausted founder member, feeling embarrassed. Let's hope that this reincarnation is not only not so easily deterred but prepared for dirty tricks.
