What a day. I must consider this demo to be the most informative demo we have ever had. Tourists were agog and locals lapped us up. Media attention was magic.
New Fathers for Justice, Family Needs Fathers, Grandparents Apart UK. We had a ball. Lots of Santa’s gathered at the Scottish Parliament with only one thing on their mind is their children who they sadly are refused contact with for no real reason. All because of the unjust one sided family laws of this land. We ran out of leaflets as people were asking for them all the way.
The demo was very peaceful and we can’t thank the Parly Polis enough who went out of their way to make sure we got a strict but fair march.
We walked up the royal mile and stopped against the wall opposite the City Chambers so as to not interfere with the soldiers who were marching past.
One old guy looking the worst for wear dressed in a shabby black coat hair down his back came up to us and said he was from the council and would we move on as he didn’t think it was appropriate for us to be there. Some of our members are soldiers and we couldn’t be more proud of them like they were our own sons. We kept a low profile and applauded them all the way.
Onwards to the courts for a show then down Princes Street making friends all the way. Margaret and I left them as we could not stand the bitter cold any longer.

1. Shared Parenting to be the norm in the UK.
2. The Charter for Grandchildren to be made legal.
3. Stop Woman’s aid alienating innocent dad’s and Grandparents.
I support what you are doing and I applaud it keep up the good work . Shred custody should be happening all over the world a parent who shares custody will work over for a child who needs new shoes a father or grand parent who doesn't know the child is less likely to work over .
