The latest movement formed in late 2002 is Fathers 4 Justice. They have brought a welcome breath of fresh air to the campaigning front of the pro family movements with their skills in the area of PR. This is something which over the last 30 years has been sadly lacking. Good intentions and even campaigning zeal are themselves insufficient if the campaign message and strategy is neither seen or heard by significant numbers of those affected. All that is now changed. The nature of politics today is widely recognised as an institution that does not listen to the people. Great noises are made at manifesto time about this or that policy. The voter finds when the party of maximum choice is elected they then proceed to implement policies the voter never heard about. For example the policy now described within false allegations where an accused person is to be assumed to be guilty until proved innocent. The burden of proof required beyond reasonable doubt will now be on the defendant rather than the prosecutor. Another matter no less important was that pension funds were to be plundered. A natural progression stemming from non listening politicians is the development of pressure groups. Pressure groups probably called by another name in earlier times have always existed however they have proliferated in recent times and some have expanded into political parties. Part of their remit in publicising their existence and purpose is to move on to the streets. Very clearly F4J are on the streets as well as on cranes, buildings and outside the offices of the agencies involved in father/child legalised separation. Their visible campaign now just over 18 months old has resulted very quickly in politicians sitting up and taking notice after all they cannot ignore a WW11 tank outside the place known as The Royal Courts of Justice or a crane by Tower Bridge displaying an enormous banner together with a figure in costume standing by it particularly when television is beaming the pictures into the politician's homes and one sees a purple coloured mist descending within the debating chamber of the House of Commons.
