How it started

I am Jack Everett and I came onto the scene of protest against state sponsored child abduction in the year 2000. That was the time that our son was hounded to death by the action of Sheffield Social Service subsequent to which our three grandchildren were forcibly adopted. But I have been involved with environmental and social issues for at least fifty years, having regularly written for the physique and fitness magazines as well as sending numerous letters to newspapers on health and environmental matters.

It is this dedication by my wife and I to maintaining and improving the personal state of well-being that has not only kept us in better condition that average for our ages, despite the horrendous stress to which we have been subjected, that makes it so incongruous that we should have been singled out for such treatment by the said department. But then it was the excellent condition of our three grandchildren that the predatory department needed to attain its child appropriation target. I emphasize that our grandchildren, with regard to whom they have arbitrarily stopped even the inadequate letter box system of contact, were actually in excellent condition probably better than most as their pictures which are available effectively portray.

I called the campaign that I then started Integrity not only to indicate an honest and reasonable approach, qualities so sadly lacking in the political scene today, but also because it could aptly comprehend under the banner of family integrity, our opposition to the atrocious child abduction programme by clearly indicating our belief that the family is the basic unit of human existence.

I conduct this campaign as a background operation to deal with the political application of the problem whilst working in close contact with other organisations for direct action. Jack Everett
