John Platt will be seen by some as an irresponsible parent, but by others as a true hero that took on the legislation that prohibits us parents for taking our children on holiday in a time when we can afford it. Although he sadly lost his court battle, why don't those of us that are grateful for the fight he fought come together and raise the money he has personally spent on legal fees (£30,000) and his fine from the Magistrates (£2,000). Let's show him that we stand with him and that we thank him for the hard fought battle against the government that's now penalising families who can't afford to have family holidays.
