A SELECTION of superheroes yesterday staged two protests in Oxfordshire in a bid to gain more rights for fathers.

The New Fathers for Justice campaigners demonstrated in Oxford and Witney.

The group began protesting at Oxford Combined Court Centre at about 8am. At least one protester tried unsuccessfully to scale the side of the St Aldate’s building.

The campaigners later gathered outside David Cameron MP’s office in Witney at about 2pm.

They brandished an effigy of Gordon Brown, but were stopped from burning it by police.

Jason Sands, 36, of East Sussex, said: “We are trying to get a message across to David Cameron that we want him to support us. This Labour Government has done nothing to help us. Fathers for Justice has got smaller but we are still here.”
