New Fathers 4 Justice protest hijacks city Walls





CAMPAIGNERS from New Fathers 4 Justice dressed up as superheroes to hijack Southampton's old town walls in noisy protest this afternoon.

The protestors donned Batman, Superman, and Spiderman costumes and unfurled banners from the bridge near the city's historic Bargate demanding equal rights for dads over a megaphone.



Shoppers and motorists passing below waved or honked in support while around half a dozen police gathered close by.

The demonstration, which went off peacefully, was being held in support of Lee Moorman, 30, from Chandlers Ford, who is battling for equal contact with his son.



Devon dad Mark Harris author of 'Family Court Hell' who was jailed for waving to his kids also set fire to wheelbarrow of his court contact papers, a case which cost the taxpayer over a million pounds and lasted 10 years.
