To quote Daniel Patrick Moynahan, "Family and Nation", 1965 - “There is one unmistakable lesson in American history: A community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future -- that community asks for and gets chaos... And it is richly deserved."

Barry Worrall is a men’s campaigner and author of “Without Authority”. He will talk about the ‘best interests of the child’ - a revolutionary & personal view by Barry Worrall and argue that best interests of child and of society is to be raised into good citizens, who can contribute to our society. How is this done? To be raised by people who brought them into the world & care most about them – their father & mother.
