I'm all for these guys and what they stand for but this is getting just a little tiresome now....

The occasional, well planned, controlled stubt doesn't do any harm to their cause as long as it doesn't cause any problems for bystanders or members of the public. Unfortunately they seem to be believing that everyone supports them and that nobody minds paying the bill for the emergency services time that was wasted

I don't think the excuse given this time was very good though

"to raise awareness of the risks posed to young unmarried men who watch Big Brother and might become fathers but are not aware they have little or no rights in law to protect them".

So it was aimed at young, unmarried men who just might become fathers at some time in the future

Starting to lose my sympathy for the protesters with these stunts.

They will lose there cred if not careful

I think they may have already lost a lot of sympathy and support from the general public and their credibility will start to suffer if they don't start thinking carefully about how they protest, where they do it and whose daily lives they impact with it

This sort of thing is what I have come to expect from F4J. A stunt that achieves nothing except costing the police money and getting F4J publicity.

And I bet they'll do it again..

I think it is great they now have women actively supporting the cause. But throwing fireworks? Isn't that a bit irresponsible? Not really a good role model to follow is it?

Not to mention just a little illegal!

Oh I quite like them invading BB.It's a lot better than climbing up on the Severn Bridge and causing a great deal of disruption.Pity they didn't actually get in and introduce themselves to the current set of inmates that would have been a lot more interesting.

Well, I was going to say that, but I think it largely matters where you throw it and at what.

I did find this quote amusing though
