By protecting the privacy of children and families we can safely assume that family = mother and kids..

Only "approved journalists" eh? And courts will still be able to close their doors if they choose?

There you have the "get out" clauses that will make these new provisions a sham. Who seriously thinks that these corrupt, biased judges and armies of reptilian lawyers, social workers and assorted family-wreckers will allow anything to drag them away from the lucrative trough at which they all feed like greedy hogs?

Yes, I noticed that "OUT" as well and allows those court carte-blanch over any story ever being printed..

sounds pretty good though--but as u guys have noticed--we will have to see

The family courts need one vital reform..

Destroying as a concept totally.

Putting a window on a turd wont make it look less like shit..

The manginafication of most men in soceity has been completed, so now showing the disgusting courts at work wont create a reaction of anything other than hangwringing.

"dear me, what can we do?"

40 years ago, the men would have already done something before they even thought of the question..

The men I knew as a lad would pick up the halfbricks immediately and send them in the direction of the state representations. Not a nicely worded polite letter begging for permission to play femistate approved daddy, sealed with a bottom-tongueing kiss..

Smash the courts. Stop looking at the fucking target and hoping the turd will turn into a cunting watermelon someday..

Quote from Marx

Family courts will be opened up to public scrutiny by 'major' reforms, Jack Straw pledged yesterday.

The Justice Secretary said that in future approved journalists would be allowed into the normally secret hearings.

Indeed let's wait and see if it'll actually happen. The family courts seem to run out of couples to "assist" with divorce and consequently give in to pressure to open up to the public.

Dear Haa Hoo

""...Putting a window on a turd wont make it look less like shit..""

succinctly put hah hhaahhhahahahhaaaha

but at least one won't stumble into it so readily

a little step forward they threw men a sop

it just proves what an iniquitous in camera star chamber the so called Family Court has been to date

should have been called

HER COURT

however the ball was always in HIS court
