Philosophy - understand ours

Our philosophy is built around a few basic facts, i.e. that :

  • there has been, since the 1960s, deliberate and sustained efforts to promote women's 'equality', particularly in employment, and simultaneously with attacks by feminist groups on men's rights, particularly within the family, where men have been systematically disenfranchised of rights

  • successive Governments and their agencies, such as the Equal Opportunities Commission and the Child Support Agency, have actively supported radical feminist objectives

  • the law making process is in the hands of a small minority driven by their own political agendas, creating laws without public consent and without public knowledge

  • the entire legal and judicial system is seriously compromised in terms of the interpretation of laws and lack of any effective controls

  • this situation has been progressed using what we refer to as The Big Lie i.e. that women are disadvantaged and require protection

  • we need to address these issues, and further, to restore a balance between men's and women's rights and responsibilities to restore our society

  • while various father's and men's groups have demanded change for the last 25 years, no remedy has yet appeared; we recognise that the country is controlled by an unelected minority, and that we the people must again assert our authority and restore democratic control over our Government; this part of our philosophy is closely aligned with that of a USA group We The People

  • the committed individuals in UKMM are doing all they can, however it appears that most men are in denial of these realities, and we need to organise ourselves to restore men's rights.

date occurring/placed

notice
16 July 2001 George McAulay on Anglia TV, 10.50pm Mon 16 July 2001 : about marriage's popularity.
14 July 2001 Are you due to appear in the Court of Appeal on a matrimonial or family issue ? Please look at our entry in the name them and shame them section for Mrs Justice Hale/Dame Brenda Hale/Brenda Hoggett who is a judge in the CoA. You will then appreciate why we believe she is a feminist. The European Convention on Human Rights article 6.1 requires tribunals to be impartial. We do not believe this woman can be impartial in matrimonial and family cases given her previous publications and attempts to introduce 'no-fault' divorce. We are interested in someone making a legal challenge under the Human Rights Act 1998 about her impartiality. So, if you are taking your case to the CoA, we would be interested in hearing from you by contacting our secretary.

FNF NEEDS A NEW NATIONAL COUNCIL We believe that if FNF is to have any hope of changing the bigotry and prejudice of the Family court system the present National Council must go in its entirety and be replaced by 12 radical people who will work effectively to change the law and make society aware of the hidden oppression that parents face when they go to court.

COME TO THE AGM ON 23 SEPTEMBER 2001 AND VOTE for our resolutions under the Companies Act to remove the six incumbent directors (Jim Parton, Colin Hale, John Baker, Charles Kenyon, Elisabeth Lakey and Fairless Masterman) and replace them with Anson Allen, Ivor Catt, Bernard Greenwood, Brian Robertson, Andrew Bayram and Jeff Linnecar.

2 Apr 2001 As a single example of requests we receive, here is a typical request, we publish as anonymous, to UKMM from a man/father who is being persecuted :

> Request for information OR comments :

>  I urgently need help.  My estranged wife has returned from East Africa having left my son 7 & daughter 3 with me for the last four months.   False allegations of sexual abuse, threats to kill.  Following the allegations of threats to kill I have been thrown out of my house.  I have a hopeless lawyer.   I need some good advice.  I am being violated at every level and have no idea how to stop it.  Please help.

6 Mar 2000 Chris Chrisostomou of CJD reports that while Peter Snow travelled to Plymouth, to assist a chap applying to ECHR, his car broke down. Peter went missing for some hours. This is thought to have precipitated illness, of which he died a few weeks later, on Monday 6 March 2000. A number of you will know Peter. In the latter part of his life, he : - studied law to degree level; - devoted himself to men's/father's rights; - made two applications to ECHR Strasbourg. He will be remembered as someone who paid immense attention to detail, and understood just what men and fathers are coping with now. Let's hope others like him will come forward.
24 Jan 2000 Chairman George McAulay featured in BBC1 Counterblast programme on Monday 24 January 2000. There were large numbers of supportive responses on the BBC's Have Words online forum.
