A leading voice for fathers and shared-parenting in the UK, Vincent has unparalleled experience attacking the institutional malpractice surrounding the family courts. An Irish biker who travels countries with either his fiancée or his dog as pillion, he has had five Ombudsman Investigations in his favour including three Parliamentary ones, two of which were Parliamentary Ombudsman investigations into Cafcass, Children and family court advisory support service.
Vincent twice addressed the European Parliament Petitions Commission on its motion in 2014, Systemic Failings in the UK Family Court System. This was the first time that a member state was investigated as children’s matters are deemed ‘of national interest only.’
Vincent is also Chair of the Central and North London branches of the shared parenting charity, Families Need Fathers, and in this capacity has assisted over 900 attendees per year.

This video is one of 120 videos published for the sixth International Conference on Men's Issues (2020), a conference originally planned for Sydney, Australia, but later turned into a virtual conference due to Covid-19.
From #metoo to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines pathologizing “masculinity” as harmful, to Gillette’s razor adverts blaming all men for the actions of a damaged few, ideologically motivated groups have used unchallenged narratives of female victimhood to promote damaging stereotypes about men and boys, masculinity and men’s relationships to each other.
More than ever before, recognition of men’s issues is needed. Men and boys deserve compassion, they deserve consideration for their unique needs, and they deserve our support.
Men and boys also deserve respect for their unique contributions to society and an end to the promotion of unkind stereotyping of being harmful, abusive, toxic, selfish and hateful. We would not tolerate this stereotyping directed towards any other group.
We are in an era of unprecedented ideological conflict. By reducing men’s ability to take a positive identity from their masculinity we are encouraging young men to pursue ever more radical ideologies to find a place to belong. In turn we are also encouraging young women to embrace an identity as society’s victims rather than its equal co-creators.
The inaugural conference was held in 2014, and since 2016 the conference has been held annually:
- Detroit (2014)
- London (2016)
- Gold Coast, Australia (2017)
- London (2018)
- Chicago (2019)
Playlists of all 100+ presentations at the conferences (as well as the 120 at this one) are here, along with playlists of the presentations at the Messages 4 Men conferences in London (2017-1

At one time the BBC produced wonderful comedy. These days the corporation is focused on giving exposure to unfunny female "comedians", particularly lesbian "comedians". Even by the standard of lesbian "comedians", Zoe Lyons is woeful. Can you imagine a male comedian as unfunny as Zoe Lyons getting on television? Nor me.

Born to Jewish parents, both Matt Lucas and Jerry Springer were circumcised at eight days of age. Matt Lucas is an atheist.
Sandi Toxic here describes a mohel as 'a Jewish gentleman who does circumcisions'. We doubt she would refer to a woman who carries out FGM as a 'a lady who does circumcisions'.
Toxic is a lesbian and a spokeswoman for the Women's Equality Party. In common with Sophie Walker, the party's leader, she has twice won our Lying Feminist of the Month award:

Michelle, a young British lady, writes:
“I’d always dreamed of becoming a housewife. How on earth did I get sucked into feminism?! Well, for one thing, I come from a dysfunctional family. My parents spilt due to domestic violence. I was neglected, the abuse I had suffered was swept under the rug, and I felt stupid and inadequate due to undiagnosed autism.
There was a lot of pre-conditioning going on in society, with 90’s 'Girl Power!!!' messages around every corner. Becoming a housewife was old news.
It wasn’t until I read Laura Bates’s first book, Everyday Sexism, that I started calling myself a feminist. It warped my mind! I became convinced that all of my troubles were the fault of “Patriarchy” i.e., men, and the society they had created.
I was incredibly isolated while caring for my elderly father, trapped within the feminist echo-chamber, and I wasn’t taking responsibility for my own poor life choices. I took my anger and frustration out on the people closest to me. I was emotionally abusive, while crying victim. I hate the person I allowed myself to become.
After my Dad passed away I finally started picking myself up, and took a hard look at the person in the mirror. I was determined to change, started Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and with the help of some notable public figures including Milo Yiannopoulos and Jordan Peterson, I was finally able to wake up and recognise my own hypocrisy.
Thank God for the men and women of the Men’s Rights Movement!”
