Does anyone think Cameron know what he's doing?

It is rare that a day goes by when Cameron doesn't enrage me in some ways. Yesterday's brilliant idea however left me gobsmacked! Clamp down on absent fathers, name and shame them, but hey it's the women who are left behind who are to be (financially) resposible for tracking these men down. And what about those women who for very good reasons don't want to track them down, violent partners, abusive fathers, rapist dad's, serial dad's etc, why should they be made to suffer financially. Cameron says he wouldn't be the man he is today without his fathers influence ( I'll leave you to decide whether that's a good or a bad thing ) and that it 'simply isn't acceptable" for single mothers to be left to bring their children on their own, like this is a life choice NOT! Come on Dave, the rest of us live in the real world, the answer is not to punish women, it is to educate men, radical though that may sound.
