]]> Comment on F4J Relaunch by Matt O'Connor http://pinktape.co.uk/2010/06/05/f4j-relaunch/#comment-3630 Matt O'Connor Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:53:36 +0000 http://pinktape.co.uk/?p=1083#comment-3630 Interesting point raised about copycat groups. Should state that F4J is a registered trademark but has been copied many many times despite our best endeavours - its one of the pitfalls of success. The official campaign should be easy to spot - its the one that looks professional. Ref the music we have composed a piece for the new site and to coincide with the first interview I've done in 2 years for the BBC's A Century on Fatherhood, in which I rather stuff up by blubbing. So I am human after all. Interesting point raised about copycat groups.

Apparently Sir Nicholas Mostyn is a keen farmer as well as being a top divorce lawyer, and now a judge. A sow of his gave birth to seven little piglets and he named them after high court judge Mr Justice Munby. The seven piglets are named: James, Munby, Self-regarding, Pompous, Publicity, Seeking, and Pillock. [...] [...] Pink Tape picked up on a typical piece of legal / wodehousian humour.

However, I find it increasingly frustrating when the LA is heavily involved, for example the children are subjects on ongoing cp plans, and yet the LA then continue to fail to address risk from either party in their reports, stating that CAFCASS should be dual reporting, basically summarising the LA work. As both agencies are characterised by increasing back logs and lack of time, it is a waste of public resources for both agencies to be reporting to the court.
