It seems to me that someone in the UKIP party is picking up on broken promises and cross party directions.
I'd love to see fathers who are truly kept away from their children to get access and I've seen both sides of the CSA debate. Where I've seen one husband literally crucified by the CSA even though his wife was quite capable of working and two others simply let off with next to nothing. In fact my daughters EX, who physically abused her, was more than £10,000 in arrears and they did nothing. He had flat screen TV's, quad bikes, latest PSx games machines, she had nothing that we did not give her, or the two grandchildren. Throughout he had full access and the Scottish courts (much more advanced on this than the English courts), demanded he had that access and refused to link anything to CSA as it was "not their problem".
Finally my daughter was back in work, self employed. We told her to get herself to her MP and tell him that the CSA was endangering her attempt to get herself off benefits. After more than a decade, the CSA applied the full weight of their powers and he now pays, fully. It took the MP 3 weeks.
This same scum of the earth took my Granddaughter to Ibiza this year with his current partner and their child. Because his partner was tired and went to bed with the other child, he took my 10 year old granddaughter to a nightclub and then got himself so drunk that he passed out in the toilets, leaving my Granddaughter standing outside the toilets in a nightclub in Ibiza. Fortunately the extremely concerned staff looked after her, got her back to the hotel and into her bed.
50:50 option? The only one I'd like to give him is die:die.
So whilst I'm 100% behind fathers access to their children, it has to be very carefully done.
I just hope Farage is able to take some of the Labour seats in the North. I read recently that there is a grass roots deal going on with the UKIP and the Tory backbenchers. If a Tory back bencher will publicly back EU exit in the 2017 referendum, then they will not contest the seat. Apparently the Tory party mechanism is really, really worried about this. Personally I think they should be more worried about the alternative.
There is only one reason that the Tory party should be worried about this kind of deal. That being that they have guaranteed to the EU that they will fully support the EU in any referendum... Well perhaps it is time for a little more democracy and a little less politics....
