If anyone has been watching the Channel 4 programmes under the umbrella of Black Mirror will understand what a scary Orwellian place the future could be. In an article for the Times Higher Education supplement it has been revealed that the Prevent anti-terrorism strategy has lumped Fathers 4 Justice under the same banner as terrorists.

While many people have many views about F4J, they are not terrorists and only adopted the tactics they did because the family law courts did not (and continue not to) uphold the law over child custody and allow children to have a meaningful relationship with both parents.

To put that on a par with terrorism shows the lack of understanding the Home Office have in thinking that all groups that do not kowtow to the 'system' must be placed in the same group even if some want to kill people like the terrorist groups.
