Protester climbs on UK Parliament roof

LONDON - A lone protester from a group campaigning for the rights of divorced fathers climbed onto the roof of Britain’s Houses of Parliament on Tuesday and unfurled a flag while police officers watched.

The protest group, Fathers 4 Justice, has staged several stunts in the past including scaling the walls of Queen Elizabeth’s London residence and pelting Prime Minister Tony Blair with coloured flour while he was addressing parliament.

…

“They left the door open here (parliament). Security is very tight in Brighton and there would have been a risk of someone getting hurt. We wouldn’t want one of our people to get injured or to put the police in that position,” he said by telephone.

I applaud the actions of F4J - as they have done more to highlight family law injustice than any other mens’ group in history . Has anybody a spare helicopter as NZ ’s Batman has an idea for a stunt on the Beehive .
