A GROUP of dads from the Bristol area took their New Fathers 4 Justice campaign for equal contact with children to the home of former Cabinet minister David Laws at the weekend as he was embroiled in controversy over his expenses.
Dressed as superheroes, the four headed for Chard in Mr Laws' Yeovil constituency in the hope of being able to speak with the then Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Mr Laws resigned over the weekend after revelations he claimed expenses for rent paid to his boyfriend, in breach of Parliamentary rules.
But the campaigners said it was unconnected to events in Mr Laws' private life and had been arranged before the story broke.
They took their "justice tent" and a portable cooker so they could pitch overnight if necessary.
The four started their day by meeting up in Bristol so they could walk around Broadmead and raise awareness of their campaign before travelling down to Somerset to meet several other protesters.
Nigel "Captain Equality" Ace, 41, of Clevedon was joined by Christian Lee-Smith, Adrian Phelps, and Jeremy Pogue.
