I honestly think you'v made the wrong call there (and for the record I have no connection to F4J)

Fathers4Justice are a significant part of our movement (or at least they were not so long ago). You can't just pick and choose stories about them depending on how you think each one reflect supon us.

The story is quite clearly about a Father's attempt to have a relationship with his children, and about the corrupt family courts. Furthermore, you've even got a harsh sentence handed out to a man who dared to protest - a protest copying that of the Suffragettes!

I count at least three reasons to include this story in the subreddit (four if you count his new hunger strike). By all means delete the shitty biased BBC report that contained almost zero information and context, but the Daily Mail coverage was well written and covered almost all the key points.

I really can't believe you've removed this.
