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)

Ian was a computer engineer (1983-2003) before becoming a separated father. His experiences in the family court and fighting for custody of his son led him to retrain as a family law Solicitor and to gain custody of his son. He then helped other separated fathers cope with the system both by supporting them in and out of court, by running the local Families Need Fathers group, and with his legal knowledge and experience to represent them in proceedings. He is now retired but still providing occasional legal advice and support to Justice for Men & Boys http://j4mb.org.uk and others fighting institutionalised anti-male discrimination in the UK.

[Note added 31.10.15: Ms Phillips won our Toxic Feminist of the Month award on the strength of two appearances in the House of Commons, including this one https://j4mb.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/151031-v2-jess-phillips-mp-toxic-feminist-of-the-month.pdf.]
Philip Davies is a highly-regarded Conservative MP, and virtually unique among 600+ MPs for raising men's issues in parliament from time to time.
In this video he applies to a House of Commons committee for time to be given on International Men's Day, 19 November, for a debate on men's issues. From the outset the chairman, a Labour MP, is clearly bemused by the request, and at the end provisionally rejects it, demanding that Davies obtain more cross-party support, which he's unlikely to get - those other parties are very feminist-friendly - before considering the matter again.
Jess Phillips MP is a Labour MP, first elected in 2015. She nominated Yvette Cooper MP, a rabid feminist in the mould of Harriet Harman, for the Labour Party leadership following the 2015 general election. In this video at 1:32 she laughs theatrically at Philip Davies's application for a debate on men's issues on International Men's Day, before he's even had a chance to explain why he's making the application.
In the end she says the matter of men's issues shouldn't be debated in the House of Commons until there is gender parity in parliament, ignoring the fact that far more men than women seek to become prospective parliamentary candidates (PPCs), so gender parity would be unmeritocratic.
Labour is the only one of the major political parties using all-women shortlists for selecting PPCs. We assume Ms Phillips, with her contempt for half her constituents, was selected from one of them.
