Fathers 4 Justice

Founded in 2003, the group aims to gain public and parliamentary support for changes in UK legislation on fathers' rights mainly by staging stunts and protests, often conducted in costume.

[2] On 21 October 2003, campaigners Eddie "Goldtooth" Gorecki and Jonathan "Jolly" Stanesby scaled the Royal Courts of Justice in London while dressed respectively as Batman and Robin.

[7] On 19 May 2004, an alert was caused when two members of the group threw purple flour bombs at Tony Blair during Prime Minister's Questions at the House of Commons.

[10] In September 2004, member Jason Hatch climbed the walls of Buckingham Palace dressed as Batman; all charges relating to his protest were later dropped.

[18] In March 2006, F4J member and barrister Michael Cox was jailed for refusing to pay money he owed to the Child Support Agency.

Cox told a hearing in Southampton he refused to pay on principle, as he had joint custody of his children, and his former wife wrote to the court in support of him.

The show was taken off-air for several minutes after six F4J protesters ran from the audience onto the stage displaying posters bearing the words: 'Family Law Lotto, Next Time It Could Be You!'.

[20] On 8 June 2008, two fathers from F4J climbed onto the roof of Labour Party deputy leader Harriet Harman's house while wearing superhero-style costumes; they called themselves "Captain Conception" and "Cash Gordon".

[22] On 9 July, F4J members Nigel Ace and Tony Ashby, this time in Spider-Man and Batman outfits, climbed Harman's roof and draped a banner that read "Stop The War On Dads.

"[23] In 2010, campaigners interrupted an interview with snooker player Steve Davis, causing the BBC to cut to a pre-recorded video segment.

[26] In June 2013, Paul Manning glued a picture of his 11-year-old son to John Constable's 1821 painting The Hay Wain in the National Gallery in London.

The pair claimed that Kellogg's latest slogan "Loved By Kids, Approved By Mums" was promoting cereal discrimination against dads.

[38] During protests outside the offices of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS), individual case workers were identified by name.
