Leader of British 'Dads Army' Discusses Group's Rapid Rise, Upcoming Plans

Matt O'Connor, leader of the British "Dads' Army" Fathers 4 Justice --whose spectacular acts of civil disobedience have garnered international attention--discussed his group's rapid rise and its upcoming plans  Also joining Glenn was Pat Lyons, a courageous English businessman who has vowed that he will go to jail rather than pay the Child Support Agency on behalf of employees who are being denied access to their children.

From storming the High Court in London's Family Division to shutting down the "UK's worst family court" in Plymouth County to its famous "Don't Kill Father Christmas" invasion and occupation of the Lord Chancellor's Department last December, Fathers 4 Justice is fighting the greatest single human rights violation of our time--the way decent, loving fathers are being driven out of the lives of the children who love them and need them.

Vowing to "make the injustice visible," Fathers 4 Justice leader Matt O'Connor has pledged that the group will head north to Scotland and create a "summer of discontent" in which its members wreak havoc on the unjust family court system through "nonviolent, direct civil action against institutions."
