Or so I thought. Civitas say Labour should stop treating fathers like optional extras. Great, I thought, fathers are actually being recognised as an important part of a childs life.

Turns out they are saying fathers should be forced to pay for their children. Absolute no brainer if you ask me but I would have liked to see some measures to force mothers to integrate separated fathers with their children...

Family courts summed it up by interpretting the 1989 Children Act line 1 from "the interests of the child shall be paramount" to "the interests of the child are aligned with the interests of the mother and shall be paramount".

I spent years helping Matt O'Connor trying to galvanize men into action - but with little success. I hope the next group along have more luck.

What they really want is for the State to take on the role of both parents.
