The British Patriot

On Father’s Day today, my thoughts are with the thousands and thousands of dads who are kept away from their children purely because of malicious lies and a family court system that discriminates against men based on outdated and false assumptions. Years and years. Tens of thousands of pounds. Bankruptcy. Horrific mental health struggles. British men are put through hell. Of course there are bad fathers, as there as bad mothers, nobody is saying otherwise - but there is no doubt in my mind that the system actively works against dads. For decades, the role of fathers has been downplayed and underestimated - that’s reflected in the rotten family courts. Fathers wait months to get a hearing, false allegations mean the child is taken away from them entirely. All based on one person’s word, when clearly emotions are running high. It costs a fortune. Many men have been bankrupted trying to seeing their children. Some of the stories I have heard from affected men are nightmarish. It does affect mums too, although clearly not in the same numbers. It is torture. No other word for it. None of this is about downplaying the importance of mothers (obviously) and of course there are many men (as there are women) who should not be in their children’s lives. But it has clearly swung too far, and that needs to be reversed. That is what a Restore Britain Government will do. Give decent and honest fathers a fair chance to be in their children’s lives.

The secret ingredient is honesty.

Welcome to the party.
