Disbanding. They were the only people who got close to giving a particular person a "bloody nose". They were also the only persons who got the nation laughing.

P.S I don't support their criminal actions or the nuisance they caused, but somehow I saw a funny side. ok I'll bear the brunt of the long faces for this.  ::)

I dont at all find this amusing. Sorry, but these guys who were fighting for a very legitimate cause, sometimes in a questionable, but in 99% of the cases peaceful manner. Are being forced to close because once again a few people with their own personal an political agenda's dont know where to draw the line, I am guessing because of a few missing brain cells. Now these guys who were trying to do the right thing will struggle to get their voices heard seriously because of it.

That's too bad. I think it's a great cause. Some dad's who actually want to be good fathers post divorce get screwed by old ways of thinking.

I don't think there's a funny side to this at all. With the exception of a few extremists they had a nobel cause which now stands less chance than ever of success.

Of course if they'd kidnapped Tony and drowned him in a toilet that would have made them so popular with the public at large

Groups "LIKE" this one are often demonized by the media because of a select few. They just home in on the few to give the many a bad name, without looking at the many.

It happens here too, what a shame the way it works out usually.

From what I read in that one article it said there were no charges pending and no arrests. So therfore they are innocent no matter how the media spins it.

I guess none of you guys saw the documentary that uncovered the rather more unseemly side of Fathers for Justice.

The people that were responsible for the "funny" protests which were condoned by FFJ, are the same people that  hatched the plot to kidnap the PM's son. It's not just a small minority of these guys there is a general feeling in FFJ that more extreme measures should be taken in order to further their wants.

If you look into the backgrounds of the guys in FFJ, then a majority have been stopped from seeing their children for very good reasons.

I don't praise them for their acts - but I do find it funny to see them break the security.
