On 26th June 2007, the CSA published its first list of people (all men) who they had taken to court for information offences (link) and was covered here (link).
A story in The Metro this week said that "The controversial plan...has been shelved after just four weeks - because of a lack of interest. Visits to the web-site...waned after quickly after an initial peak. James Plaskitt MP said 'in light of this we will not publish further names'."
There is no link to the story on the web but Familes Need Fathers (link) issued a press release:-
The Child Support Agency (CSA) acknowledges the ineffectiveness of the proposed naming and shaming policy. Families Need Fathers (FNF) are relieved that this draconian measure has been recognized as unsuitable.
Controversial government plans to ‘name and shame’ fathers who have failed to pay maintenance have been suspended after it’s lack of success. The website detailing ‘deadbeat dads’ has met with significant criticism as an ineffectual scheme which would have little benefit for anyone involved, least of all the child.
John Baker, FNF Chair, said of the decision, “We welcome this move, and hope that it indicates a more pragmatic approach to the issue of CSA maintenance and new leadership. We feel that less confrontational means are likely to produce better results.”
“For a body whose purpose is essentially to protect the child, it is hard to see how public humiliation of one of its parents could possibly be appropriate,” he added.
This is another defeat for the feminist fundamentalists who wanted to conduct a witch hunt in their quest to turn society into men-haters. The British public are not into state 'naming and shaming' especially when the state organisation is as incompetent as the CSA.
Guess they figured out where this was going to end up. That said I see the list is still on their website!

I'll go my way by myself here's how that comedy ends
I have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
With clouds in the sky above have put the blocks on my fun
I'll try to fly up above for my place in the sun
I'll face the unknown I'll build the world of my own
No one know that I denied myself I found myself alone

Too often, lawyers think that they can dump a pile of facts on the jurors and expect them to reach the correct verdict.
