I attended the hearing at Portsmouth Magistrates Court last week involving Cheryl Stannard, the loving mother being persecuted by the State. A 'journalist', one Gareth Bethell from the Portsmouth Evening News, asked me why I got involved in the case and I explained that it was because of the tyranny of the Family Court system that was stealing children from thousands of loving, caring parents every year while the system protected itself from exposure by draconian secrecy laws. 

I explained in some detail how the system works and the devastating consequences for families across the country, indeed the world. His 'report', however, contained not a word about the Family Court fascism as the reason that I was following the case, just 'lizards' and 'sons of gods' - the usual tired, off-the-peg, standard-issue response of a computer-terminal 'mind'. He also accredits a gentleman who stood up in the court to try to address the judge as someone from 'my party' when he was there quite independently of myself. 

The fact that such people stand between what happens in the world and what people are told is happening is terrifying. Swing a cat in any mainstream newsroom and you couldn't fail to hit loads of them. I should duck now, Mr Bethell.
