Dear Supporters This conversation with Tatjana Zdanoka MEP will be informative for parents from any country! She confirms with the logic of a mathematician what Ian Josephs has observed over decades: the UK is the worst country in a number of ways and is at the root of 'exporting' the system to other countries. We have evidence of that, too. As a long standing member of the Petitions Committee she would like to see more petitions. Please go to http://www.petiport.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/main and start responding to all questions in a separate document. If you try to complete the portal in one go, you'll lose information. She was on the fact finding visit to London in November which is analysed here: https://mcknews.wordpress.com/2016/04/23/report-on-fact-finding-visit-to-london-in-november-2015-by-eight-meps/ Of course, we need to mind the gap between: -- what UK Social Services, Police and Courts SAY and what they DO -- what EU politicians (MEPs) can do what the EU COMMISSION does. That has been apparent since my first presentation in March 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di-VuxAVBOg BUT: the Vice-President Frans Timmermans is now the Special Commissioner for the Petitions Committee to ensure that the DEMOCRATIC RIGHT of EU Citizens is responded to correctly. AND: social media pave the way to mainstream media. Once more journalists and broadcasters wonder why parents from Eastern Europe countries lose their children when they move West to look for jobs, more and more deep realities underlying capitalism will emerge... We need to learn to look beyond the hypocrisy of deceptions! Keep going!!! Belinda and Sabine
