	SocietyGuardian.co.uk \| Society \| Fathers warned against protest stunts
		A former member of the protest group Fathers 4 Justice (F4J), which was behind the purple flour bomb that struck the prime minister last week, today condemned its tactics as irresponsible and counterproductive.
		Mr Ellis, who was involved in a F4J protest last September on the Tamar Bridge in Plymouth that disrupted traffic, said he left the group because such stunts undermined the efforts of fathers to portray themselves as responsible adults in court.
		In the case of last week's flour bomb protest, Mr Burch said it had been justified because while there was now a serious public debate about the rights of fathers in the family courts, there was yet to be a single debate on the issue in the House of Commons.

		The protester was identified as Jason Hatch, 33, from Gloucester, a member of the Fathers 4 Justice group, which is campaigning for greater custody rights for divorced or separated fathers.
		Fathers 4 Justice members said Hatch and an accomplice dressed as Batman's partner, Robin, had easily climbed a palace perimeter fence while fellow protesters distracted police by creating a disturbance at the palace's front gate.
		O'Connor said the protest was timed to coincide with Monday's trial of another Fathers 4 Justice member, Patrick Ronald Davis, 48, who is accused of throwing purple flour at Prime Minister Tony Blair in the House of Commons in May. That incident sparked a security alert, and new restrictions on public access to the chamber.

	Fathers Protest Unjust Custody Laws by Wendy McElroy

		The absurdity of Spiderman is nothing compared to the obscenity of a system that deprives fathers of their children and children of parental love.
		Politics of the absurd began on Dec. 17, 2002 when 200 men in Santa Claus outfits descended on the Lord Chancellor's offices in London to dramatize the plight of "father" Christmas: that is, of fathers who would not see their children over the holidays.

		In December, 2002, over 100 protestors who have either no access, or very limited access to their children, dressed as Father Christmas and sang in the office lobby of one of the most senior and important functionaries in the government of the United Kingdom, Lord Chancellor.
		You might say it was an “uphill” battle from there, as Fathers-4-Justice went to extraordinary “heights” to make their plight known: that there are millions of fathers around the world who, by law, are not allowed to see their children and have been treated unfairly by courts.
		So, let’s look at the undisputable facts: millions of fathers are removed from their children’s lives even though they have never abused or neglected them (what the U.S. Supreme Court refers to as being a “fit” parent).
