[dan17th]

[o0oFUCKTHENWOo0o]

i agree with this video...good msg !

also that blonde reporter is a fuking hottie

[2suzyque]

another male propaganda movie

utter stupidity to climb a bridge with such a bad taste thing

[jadam914]

hmmmm.... Na your not a feminists..... lol

[1956buttercup]

Family at War.......When a relationship ends the family goes to war. Everyone accepts that financially that the Father should contribute towards the child but the child needs more then money from their dad

If you love your children don't let them live in a War Zone. The two people they love most in the world are "At War" how do you think this effects them. Come on we are the Adults. Please Share for the Sake of Little Children end the War and declare Peace.

[saddeneddad]

Great video, thx :-)

[rffjbanner]

Parents like Simon deserve justice, he has not had any contact with his own children for 8 years, despite having a contact order saying he can, the courts wouldnt enforce the order and they seemingly have now been alienated against him - he can only hope they will vote with their feet once old enough

[childlostdad]

Its good to see so many taking the time to find out about RFFJ and what they have to say, as a child both of my parents spent time with us and we as children loved them both equally. Then mom said It would be best if dad did not live with us. Dad used to see us at weekends then mum told us that dad did not want to see us anymore, as children we felt that we had done something wrong we never new that dad had been fighting In the family courts for years and that mom had ignored all the orders.

[23flowergirl]

Thank you for your reply although I differ on one aspect. Nature vs.Nurture. I have known some of the most loving parents to have children who are horrid and vice versa. I believe genetics play a major role in determing who we are and become. It's very important to be emotionally involved with your child from birth, be non-judgemental and LISTEN to what they say or what they are not saying. Unconditional love and praise are essential. Potential parents ought to be screened. It will happen.

[23flowergirl]

It's a comon misconception that the children are always better off with the mother. Not all mothers love their children enough to put aside differences with the father for the good of all. It's selfish and just plain wrong. Very sad. The children suffer the most in this twisted saga of revenge.

[planetbonsai]

23flowergirl, yes yur right there, children suffer, and i agree woman are better bringing up children, but children need father just as much as mother. This is the real world tho today, kids have to be strong to get there life on track, Danny (stives)

[23flowergirl]

I am a mother and I would die for my son. What I meant to say, is that not all women make good mothers, sad but true. Sometimes the child/children are better off with the father. Ideally, both parents should put their differences aside and share responsibility for their children. I was unaware that men commit suicide over this and find it disturbing and very sad. Children have the right to see and know both parents, unless the parents are a risk. I meet streetkids and want to take them all home!

[planetbonsai]

Well if there was more mothers like you then i think this world would be a happier place, the future is our kids, and its how they are reared at home, i think the only think that can be done is how the kids are teached at school, i also think mothers and fathers should do parenting classes at school with there kids, and parents should do relationship counciling, think we are all going to need these classes soon.

[speccwolf]

Women are better at bringing up children ? Its those narrow mindedness opinions that creates stereotypes disadvantaging the other gender. It shouldn't be black and white, only shades of Gray depending on circumstance, with the child's well being the necessary priority, simple.

[jadam914]

Yes speccwolf. Most judges are not fully qualified to make such decisions. They are but lawyers and lawyers have made a business on peoples suffering. And to go further, what if it was not sex but race was a deciding factor, as it is now? People would be up in arms. The sexist approach courts all over the world take is just as bad RACISM!! Joint custody should be the starting standard, less lawyers would get rich and there would be less animosity between both parties.

[dan25london]

Keep up the good work. Fathers 4 Justice, Real Fathers 4 Justice, New Fathers 4 Justice

[mala265]

For a mother to be so consumed with anger and hate that she does not see the burden a child bears as a result. I cannot begin to imagine how these fathers must feel. The stress and anxiety, endless court visits, financial pressure, depression....how can one not suffer mental health problems as a result.

[64silversurfer]

Guilt by association

Wonder how the MP's feel now

Wonder even if they really understand

what they do not understand is that

DNA is for Life.

[barghumer]

It is really great to see the support on this page, but I want to make an important point.

In physics there is a law of "cause and effect". The disaster now destroying families, children and parents (mostly fathers) is an effect. If someone doesn't put their finger on the cause so that the REAL cause is dealt with then this support and encouragement will just go on forever! It is easy to blame lots of things ( I have my own favorites from my experience) but we need to know the REAL cause.

[pdittimus]

What in your opinion is the real cause of this?

[barghumer]

As an engineer, when I repair equipment I start by tring to find a common cause. I.e if the fuse has blown, nothing at all works and the fault is easy to find. The same also when something partly works I still try to find what the failing functions have in common and it is not always easy. Infact, is it very easy to reach the wrong conclusion.

[barghumer]

Apply the same logic to this problem, it is clear that many things are broken at the same time. The CSA was a heartless unresponsive machine; cafcass struggles, and some of them genuinly believes they do their best, but is a disater. Even the complaints dept, is a disaster.

The judges seem to be "limited" by something and are so inconsistent. Even when they see through the situation clearly then seem unable to act. The solicitors are more interested in their money. They know something's broke!

[barghumer]

Only recently has the public face of "DV" allowed for men. It was the exclusive domain of women. So, the feminist dimension often comes up in discussions and articles. I am quite sure that many of the so called victims are actually the perpetrators but it is not possible for the system recognise it.

When the children in a school are no longer able to make Father's day cards, it shows that the problem is already deep rooted, and in the process of undermining the society we depend on.

[barghumer]

Unfortunately, I am not able to probe beyond this to find the common cause. What suprises me is that those who can, are fairly quiet. At least Bob Geldof didn't just walk around shaking his head, as usual he did something, but such foundational problems are not in the domain for pop stars to fix.

Let those who know and understand please stand up and tell us plainly.

[barghumer]

This guy is an undisputed hero.! Also, the judge should be commended on this occasion.

[darrenpollard1st]

What gets me is there are no juries allowed in family courts. Clearly they are not courts of honour, truth & justice.

Also, who are these dumbed down people trying to prosecute a good honest man who only wants to see his kids? Looks like malicious prosecution. They want people to shut up & go along with the corrupt system. A great effort from Simon, who knows what it's like to have to stand up against injustice!

[dessiebouy]

hope the old girl with no sympathy is reading this....

kiss my ass you man hating old cow. you may have no sympathy for men in this situation because your man left you but with your attitude i can see why he did.

[hewehe]

But a Newcastle Crown Court jury took only 20 minutes to find Mr Anderton, from Heaton, Newcastle not guilty of attempting to cause a public nuisance.

They also cleared him on judges direction of causing a danger to road users by hanging the 12kg dummy on a rope.

[hewehe]

After the verdicts Mr Anderton spoke both of his relief and determination to keep going as an activist against the family court system.

Im over the moon, he said. It is a fantastic outcome. Both myself and the group feel very vindicated.

[hewehe]

My only aim was to highlight our cause in a peaceful way not to create disruption or upset anyone.

Obviously we want the public behind us not against us and the support I received from people while I was on the bridge actually kept me up there longer.

They were tooting their horns and even shouting my name. I cant thank them or the jury  enough.

[johnbell000]

Hold on for your children we will get justice.

[johnbell000]

Thank you RFFJ for showing this video its good to see a group showing

The full effects of separation the images might be shocking but its reality for many fathers.

[unhappydad]

Once more you have shown the sad affects of parental separation.

for the children that we love we must fight a system that is against fathers from the start.

[pdittimus]

Simon know that your brothers across the pond stand in solidarity with you and applaud your actions. It is great to see RFFJ is starting to make an impact in the UK court system. Hopefully one day you can laugh about these stunts with your grandkids and explain why such risks were neccessary to bring about fairness and equality to an unjust system.

[oxbridgehotel]

well done simon more dads should follow your lead

[simjem]

Well done Simon.

100% NOT guilty of causing any disruption.

BUT 100% guilty of caring for all our kids rights!

Brothers in arms!

[MGkings]

Fathers are treated like Dogs in America too! My rights were violated by Ventura County Courts of California. I have not seen my sons in over 13 years.

I wanted to kill myself many times because of this. Thanks Ventura and Judge Pattie.. WHY DO WE TREAT FATHERS LIKE THEY ARE NOT PARENTS? Because they can't give birth, is my theory! God Bless Thanks Simon you are my HERO. I miss my Sons!

[andRFFJ]

well done simon justice was done. i told you they would mess you about and then drop the charges. take care simon i will see you soon

andy

[inchgroup]

Its only when groups like RFFJ make a stand against the injustice and we as people show support,

only then can we hope that the government will wake up.

[CherishTheChildren]

[johnbell000]

[UKSecretCourts]

We need to open the family courts, and open the work of social workers to public scrunity.

[64silversurfer]

[blacksunite]

I love his courage and I hope and pray that he get's to see his children soon to all fathers who are in the same predicament keep your head up high and continue the good fight because we your children need and want you in our life's

[woozilmusic]

Great news for simon what he did was the most couraegous deed I have seen.

I saw a man in the same plight as me and helped him up that bridge. The least I could do was pen a song for him. Thanks to all who like the song and for the support of simon and the rest of us.

[inchgroup]

Yes well done to Simon and RFFJ for standing up

[unhappydad]

I agree well don to both Simon and RFFj

[unhappydad]

thank you.

Great song.

[childlostdad]

help each other and it will work out for the best

[irenehall123]

Great video telling the truth about the failings of the system.

[bigfatolddad]

Its time the truth come out.

[alansawyer500]

Well done Simon, Well done RFFJ.

[hewehe]

Prosecutors claimed the 50-year-old wanted to cause massive disruption by closing the bridge and that his suicide stunt with the mannequin risked the lives of motorists driving underneath.

[hewehe]

But a Newcastle Crown Court jury took only 20 minutes to find Mr Anderton, from Heaton, Newcastle not guilty of attempting to cause a public nuisance.

[hewehe]

After the verdicts Mr Anderton spoke both of his relief and determination to keep going as an activist against the family court system.

[hewehe]

Go RFFJ go

[childlostdad]

Fantastic video, I send my support to both Simon and RFFJ

[rffjbanner]

A FATHERS rights activist cleared of causing danger during a Tyne Bridge protest has vowed to carry on campaigning.

Find out the full story on the RFFJ news blog find the link on the RFFJbanner channel

[Billzy]

Great video and song

[doozytube]

Great to see the news that Simon was found not guilty today by a Jury. Well done Simon, and a poke in the eye to the Crown Prosecution Service who act as the Governments silencers to such protests. The time effort and money wasted on trying to criminalise this father are almost as criminal as MP's expenses. Shame on you all for abusing tax payers money for your own agenda's. Onwards and upwards for the campaigning dads. Your kids will be proud of you.

[chinacat22]

Good for him! Fathers rarely get a fair shake!

[doozytube]

Great Video Banner. Lets hope Simon gets a fair trial and a jury who can see the merits in raising the profile of fathers and their children's plights. Good luck Simon.

It's all well and good people saying there are other ways to resolve this problem, but don't they think those efforts have all been tried time and time again?

A father doesn't take such actions lightly and only goes to these extremes when all else has failed. The time to be unreasonable is here, it reflects treatment of dads.

[HeartlessArchAngel69]

I love the song! wonderful! whats it called?

[doozytube]

See the end of the video. It is called "What's the time?" specially created to support Simon and fathers who campaign for changes in Family Law, and the need for support services for parents and children going through family breakups.

[HeartlessArchAngel69]

its such a great song, yeah, I realised it was created especially when I heard the lyrics! I know what RFFJ is for, I kind of support the equivilent here in my own country! im a female fathers protester!

[childlostdad]

I love this song.

[irenehall123]

hi child have sent the link to the song.

[truebot]

Extreme message for an extreme problem. Fathers need justice.

[Verlch]

Child support is a communist program. So I wonder if family court isn't communist aswell.

They are so great at creating ghettos.

[gav161]

Great video!!

What is the song at the end?

[toon4j]

Great work Banner

[nikolasramsay]

someone had to do it...
