A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in June 2018:
In the middle of last week I was invited by the BBC to be among those to possibly appear on the first episode of the new series of Sunday Morning Live, to speak on issues including men’s rights, following the government’s rejection of most of the recommendations in a report by the Wimmin and Equality Committee on fathers in the workplace. Of course I agreed, and had extensive discussions, but late Friday evening I learned I hadn’t been chosen to appear.
The full programme is available on iPlayer, and accessible to BBC licence fee payers for the next 29 days – here. The section on “Are Men’s Rights Neglected?” is over 39:40 – 52:30. So, what were the ideological leanings of those contributing to the discussion on men’s rights, either in the studio or via video?
