Now he knows what it is like to be a father denied access to his child by a scheming, ruthless and unprincipled woman who will happily destroy his career to deny a man his human right he has to share his child’s life.
Whilst carrying out her vicious and obviously malicious attack, she still managed to get get public sympathy.
Some pundits suggested that Blunkett was cruel and somehow unreasonable in asking to be acknowledged as the babies father. They complained that Mrs Quinn is seven months pregnant and that the stress of all the publicity had caused her to be hospitalised and that this was evidence of Blunkett’s callousness and unreasonableness.
What they failed to note was that it was she who had generated the publicity to try stop Blunkett from demanding his fathers rights. Her plan was simple and obvious:
Feed the press damaging stories about Blunkett to hurt his career so he backs off.
It was she who broke the nanny story which aroused the press packs who have hounds her ever since yet Blunkett got the blame for her ails as though it was he that was generating the controversy and press interest.
The whole affair was deeply unfair.
Thousands of men are denied their rights to share their children’s lives. Public and legal sympathy lies undeservedly with women, many of whom use all manner of horrific tricks (the most common being false claims or abuse) to keep their children away from their fathers.
This is just another high profile sordid example of a common blight affecting father across the world.
Can someone please read Mr Blunkett the number for Father For Justice (01787 281 922), they will be happy to help him.
