So, David Cameron wom the election, with the help of Nick Clegg. That was one year ago, and at this point I with that Nick Clegg would develop some balls and David Cameron would realise that the life in novels and romantic movies is not the life of most Brittons.
Yesterday he made a speech that absent fathers must be punished and the public must view them in the same way as drunk-drivers. Which planet does he live on? Or for that matter, which movie does he think is reality? I know several separated/divorced parents in Brittain, and the fathers love spending time with their children. However, in this country mothers can do no wrong (according to the law) and they know how to take full advantage of that. They can deny fathers access to their children, ad get away with it. And to be honest, if I was denied access to my children, I wouldn't bother paying maintenance either. Talk about paying for nothing.
In addition, when they break up, the assets are divided indiscriminately to the mother, and the father is left with nothing, not even enough for a proper place to live, in lots of cases. There is no consideration for the father to have a proper place for the children to visit.
This doesn't mean that there aren't fathers who don't care about their children, who leave and don't ever look back or even think of their children again, only that these are not the only cases, and making out that all fathers in broken up relationships are like this, is an awful generalisation of fathers. Those fathers who want to be a part of their childrens lives have no legs to stand on, no law on their side, and no politicians who live in reality and realise what it means to be a single/divorced father.
The laws in this country are awful, and getting worse by the minute. The tax relief for married people is Cameron thinking that as long as your married life is honky dory, never mind if it's a good or bad marriage, if one of the partners abuse the other, or the children, and never mind how if affects the children. Marriage can't be anything but good. It's like he's living a Disney movie life...
Wake up and smell reality!!
The sooner we can get some real men into government, the better, or real women, for that matter. And no more Tory's whose only aim is to castrate the country.
