Fathers 4 Justice protesters fined for climbing Stonehenge
FATHERS 4 JUSTICE ROCK STONEHENGEnThree 'Fred Flintstone' campaigners from Fathers 4 Justice scaled Stonehenge at 9.15am this morning in anger at David Cameron's comments about absent fathers this morning.nnJolly Stanesby, 36, from Ivybridge Devon, Dave White, 29 from Southampton and Richard West, 40, from Ottery St Mary, Devon are all wearing Fred Flintstone outfits in a symbolic protest at what they say is 'Caveman Cameron's' naive and prejudiced beliefs about fathers when 300,000 dads have lost contact with their kids in the family courts since 1997. Cameron had said fathers are abandoning their children.nnThe protestors evaded tight security and prevented English Heritage officers forcibly removing them from the stones with a ladder.nnMembers of the public are currently at the site waving at the Flintstones.nnSaid F4J Founder Matt O'Connor, "We need an urgent, intellectual debate about fatherlessness, not meandering Neanderthal comments from dinosaur Dave. Stonehenge is symbolic because it formed the foundation of our society, foundations being eroded by all the main political parties."nn"Family Law is literally killing kids stone dead. Family breakdown is rife and last weeks Unicef report put Britain bottom out of 21 countries as being the worst place in the first world to grow up. We want to consign the secret family courts to history and by putting the world's most famous stone age man on top of the world's most famous stones, we aim to show our commitment to our nations children."
