Tony Ashby, a father prevented by the family courts system from seeing his children, is currently on hunger strike outside David Cameron’s Oxfordshire home. He’s asking for a five-minute-long meeting with the prime minister, in return for which he’ll end the strike. You must find 135 seconds to watch a short video of this inspiring man:

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The treatment of fathers (and their children) by the family courts system is BARBARIC. J4MB is sending a message of support to Tony Ashby and the many other good fathers who should be seeing their children over the coming days – and regularly, come to that – but won’t be, because of a corrupt family courts system which gorges itself on taxpayer’s money and then emotionally and financially abuses fathers, and emotionally abuses their children.
Just read his case (your second link). I am proud to admit this made me cry. This should be front page news. If it was a woman the whole country would stop dead to watch as the media would swarm all over it. What is incredible is I have seen nothing on the news about this at all. This must, MUST stop now. The legal system and the council officials involved are criminals themselves im my eyes. What “best interests of the child” are NOT being met you imbeciles. My heart goes out to Tony. I hope daddy gets his girls back soon. Tissues again…

So distressing, and it’s humiliating that men and fathers have been reduced to begging politicians for tiny concessions, who don’t even deserve our attention.

Thank you. I agree. It’s like pleading with the school bully to not hit you so hard, or so often. But I take my hat off to Tony Ashby for doing whatever he can to see his daughters. The sheer nobility of men like this is impressive beyond words. When you compare it with the nastiness of mothers who seek to alienate children against their fathers, and deny the children access to their fathers, even while they’re financially supporting both them and the children…
