The reality of life within the totalitarian feminist regime of Britain continues to unfold.

Tony Blair says, "... the state should deal with families by forcing itself into the heart of family life..."

Thus the reality of life within the totalitarian feminist regime of Britain continues to unfold.

Quote from Spike-online on Blair's recent speech: "It's because parenting is
so complex and stressful, says Blair, that his government is prepared to
break every rule in the history book about how the state should deal with
families: namely, by forcing itself into the heart of family life.

Blair's grand plan to 'improve parenting' will mean that anybody wearing a
badge - housing officers, schools, 'local anti-social behaviour teams'
(whoever they are) - can issue parents of unruly youngsters with a 12-month
'parenting order' that means that 'parents themselves can be forced. to
accept support and advice on how to bring discipline and rules to their
child's life'." [END QUOTE]

The essence of a free society and test of it is the degree of privacy
afforded to its citizens into areas where the State has no jurisdiction to
interfere. For the past two thousand years and beyond that boundary between
what is private and what is public has been delineated by the institution of
Marriage.

The State has no right to transgress the threshold that exists in law
between matters that occur within the Married Family and so are private and
those that it must confine itself to which are matters of public interest.

The State can only legitimately interfere where matters within the Family
themselves transgress the boundary by falling foul of public laws - i.e. by
the committing of crimes. This is why the National Men’s Council of Ireland
have always urged that any alleged criminal assault or criminal abuse within
the Family must be treated as such.

Our report, Parental Rights and Freedoms (available to download from our
website www.family-men.com) is a commentary on the ways and means employed
by the State in continually attempting to step over that line of privacy and
in fact shows how in recent years it has sought to eradicate that boundary
all together by fomenting an uprising between mothers and fathers, a virtual
war between men and women, that they hoped would lead to a call to abolish
Marriage and give them full jurisdiction to interfere with everyone’s lives.

Any trespass beyond this boundary and interference by the State in the
parent’s natural right to raise their children in accordance with their
conscience and their means, and the nation ceases to be a free country.

Britain UK Prime Minister Tony Blair 5 September 2005

'The job of being a parent is difficult,' says Blair.

But parenting is not a job, which can be done well or badly, with promotion
opportunities and a clearly-defined working day.

Parenting is about life: it is messy, unpredictable, frustrating, rewarding
and above all it should be private.

The state cannot raise our children - and it will rue the day that it tries
to do so.
