clownaround Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 David Cameron promised to speak to fathers about reform and when he got the vote Dads were ignored and the family review kept secret. I totally agree with this. Peacefull action is needed publicity is important to the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampent Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 OK - so can we see some facts about the case? Why is he in jail? Here goes! Rffj spokesman Mike Kelly comments about Dave Hawksworth picked up by Scottish media By IRINA NELSON, Crime Reporter Scottish Sun 01 Jul 2011 A DAD has been jailed for displaying 100 balloons outside his son's school on the lad's eighth birthday. David Hawksworth was caged for three months by Dundee Sheriff Richard Davidson for harassment by making the tribute to the boy he'd been banned from seeing for seven years. Now English-based Hawksworth's fellow activists at controversial dads' rights group Fathers 4 Justice have have vowed to target the lawman's home after he slung him in Perth nick last week. And they branded Sheriff Richardson racist after he told Hawksworth that he should "clear off back to England". Last night a spokesman said: "Dave's crime was to place 100 balloons outside his son's school on his eighth birthday after being denied access for many years. "Activists are targeting and heading to the home of Sheriff Davidson after his racist slur." The spokesman also said they would shut down roads in Scotland and protest at Blairgowrie Golf Club, Perthshire - but their reasons were not made clear. Real Fathers For Justice also hit out. Chairman Mike Kelly said: "This father has been lambasted, racially abused and then hung out to dry in prison alongside murderers and rapists. All he wants to be is a father to his kids." Hawksworth and other activists protested at Dundee Sheriff Court last week at his hearing. Sheriff Davidson caged him after saying the balloons present was "threatening" behaviour. Last night a Tory spokesman said: "This seems a bizarre decision. Scottish Sun readers will be left wondering what it is that we don't know that ever led to such a judgment." Sheriff Davidson refused to comment last night. No one at Blairgowrie Golf Club was available but a source said: "We were visited by the police earlier this week and they made us aware of this threat. "We are looking out for any hippy types hanging around at the flags." Tayside Police said they are aware of the row. A spokesman said: "We will deal with any incident in an appropriate manner."
