Each group has its own ways of going about the task, some decide to be really out there protesting loudly, others by attacking the establishment while some go about it in a quieter way.
It doesn't mean that one or other is being more effective, we are all individuals and a such are all different.
It would be true to say, of course, that if we all joined together that we would certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
When there are parents/grandparents/extended families experiencing the wrench of having a member of their family kept away it is just like losing a limb.
As a parent, and I am that first, having children is, in my view why I am here, if I don't have my family I am incomplete.
The sadness,confusion and anger when this happens has to have a channel, a direction.
There are parents/grandparents ending their lives because they can no longer deal with the separation, and indeed some children.
When an organisation/group starts to grow there is a practical hurdle, that is one of costs.
Running any group costs money, some organisations apply for government funding and in my very humble opinion, is where the trouble starts.
As soon as government money is involved you are no longer independent, you have to, if you like, 'tow the party line'.
Now, when it is government decisions that are causing this problem in the first place it makes it increasingly difficult to get your point across.
That is why this group is independent and will remain so.
I need to be able to say what I want,when I want to whom I want.
I do not have to get it agreed by anyone, so if I say the wrong thing the buck stops with me.
