Protester Dressed As Batman Scales Buckingham Palace

LONDON -- A protester dressed in a Batman costume scaled the front wall of Buckingham Palace on Monday and perched for more than five hours on a ledge near the balcony where the royal family appears on ceremonial occasions.

I thought it was a good protest. Let's face it, who heard of Fathers for Justice a year ago? Their recent series of very visible dissent is pretty effective. :good job:

[Shawn]

Oh yeah. And he was dressed as Batman.

You guys see the poor bastard that they nabbed dressed as Robin? He looked past his acrobatic prime.

saw that on the news. Pretty funny

The police was just sitting and laughing

Some of them are right, in our country we have something similar.

I really believe that a divorsed mother is very happy when she can leave her responsibility for what it is, once every seccond weekend as long as she knows that the kids are safe and well treated.

(I was - at least)

So mothers will have a very good reason if they do not use that mini-vacation.

In my case it were the kids that did no longer want to visit daddy, and at last - I tried to force them - they appeared to have a good reason indeed for not going.

[Shawn]

Aye, but I think we all know at least a few examples in which the father is who the children should be with and the courts are slanted against them. It's the case with one of our members, but that's his business so I won't say any more.

I don't know how he had the guts to do it. There were three marksman aiming at him the whole time. The news seemed to give more coverage to yet another security breach at a royal residence than they did the cause Fathers4Justice is fighting.

I think the point, megabitch, is that it shouldn't be up to the mother to decide if the kids will be safe and well treated. Fathers should have the same access rights to their children as mothers. If for some reason access should be limited, the produce should be the same as limiting a mother from her child (and visa versa).

I think the other big issue is that mothers get custody by defualt, which they understandably disagree with.

[megabitch]

I think I agree with you.

Anyway it is pointless to argue, you living in the UK and me here in the Netherlands.

Laws are different.

Here we have an institute that advises the judges in these cases. Translated it would be: Counsil for children defense.

They make ridiculous reports! And so far you are right: as long as a mother gets custody, they are not involved. As soon as a father gets custody, they are!

But, if it is not for a mother to decide if the children are safe and well taken care of, it is this Counsil! And there are many cases known that after asking their advise, the children end up in a home or with foster parents.

I cannot estimate the situation in the UK.

I only wanted to say that these fathers sometimes have themselves to blame, because they spoil the kids in these weekends or act in a way that the kids do not want to go anymore themselves!

I was very happy with the situation them going every seccond weekend.

That changed of course, after I learned that they were abused..

But untill I knew that, I enjoyed my small vacations!

And I think that most mothers will.

another man, dressed like spider-man climbed atop the 137-meter London Eye Ferris wheel beside the River Thames.

That Batman costume looks as elegant as the one used in the 1940's Batman movie serial....
