Cyberattacks Led By Father In Custody Row

Protesters planning to disrupt torch relay

FATHERS’ rights campaigners say they are in talks to disrupt the Olympic Torch Relay in Penzance next month.

The Cornishman has been told New Fathers 4 Justice (NF4J) plan to stop the torch relay in Penzance by hiding down one of the drains along the route.

But police say they are building up an intelligence picture around the relay and will deal “robustly” with anything likely to impact on the route.

The torch relay will start at Land’s End on May 19 and will be in Penzance for half an hour in the morning, from 8.20am to 8.50am.

NF4J spokesman for the South West, Rich Adams, said the group had plans to disrupt the relay at four or five locations across Cornwall and that Penzance would be one of the places targeted.

Attempt

He said: “There are plans for Penzance and other parts of Cornwall. There certainly will be a major attempt in Penzance … we are in negotiations about hiring a boat from Penzance Harbour.”

Mr Adams said the group had already done a test run along the torch route by driving it from Land’s End to Exeter.

He said: “We would hope it would not put anyone at risk and obviously we are trying to do this with an element of a sense of humour that is involved in all our protests. Basically we want to make our point.”

A police spokesman said: “We are working very closely with the local authority and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible and we are building up an intelligence picture so we can deal with any incidents of disorder protests during the event. We respect the right to peaceful protest but we will deal robustly with anything that is likely to impact on the torch procession.”

With 100 days to go until the start of the Olympic Games New Fathers 4 Justice activists are ready

With 100 days to go until the start of the Olympic Games New Fathers 4 Justice activists are ready to highlight the injustice we face in the present Family court system.

The tragedy here is that you could fill the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre and the Velodrome  with all the children that loose contact with their father each year thanks to the present Family Court system.

This Government sponsored bias has now created a fatherless society in which children are being convicted at a rate of more than 100 every day, according to Government statistics.

After years of fishing for our votes saying they would reverse the unfair policies of the so-called ‘family’ court, David Cameron and the Tories ‘ Smoke and mirror’ changes to the family law system are not enough. Words will no longer do.

We’d like nothing more than to be simply with our families, and happy in the knowledge our children would grow up with equal rights, but until anything is done – this is the only way anyone takes any notice of our message.

“We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.”

My son, my son. – Douglas Galbraith

This an amazingly powerful book on the subject of cross-border abduction, called my son, my son. The author, Douglas Galbraith, saw his own children abducted by their Japanese mother in 2003. The kids were aged 6 and 4 when she disappeared . He has not seen them since, despite frantic attempts involving lawyers . Its a heartbreaking story of loss but also a thought-provoking journey which explores the role of fathers in society and children’s rights, with a call to arms to overthrow the current injustice.

 

Douglas did an interview this week on Tues in The Times Newspaper and also on Radio 4 The World at One talking about abduction. He will be interviewed in the Daily Mail next week and on ITV This Morning. He’s so pleased to have an opportunity to air his views on this subject
