Story here. Excerpt:

'Members of Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) staged a naked protest in the flagship London branch of Marks & Spencer at Marble Arch, Oxford Street.

Group founder Matt O'Connor was arrested during the weekend protest, which criticised the high street store for its advertising on parenting blog site Mumsnet.

Along with four other members of the group, O'Connor took off his clothes in the store to draw attention to what F4J claimed was Mumsnet's "anti-male agenda".

He claimed that the protest was just the start of a series of attacks on M&S in order to draw attention to the "naked truth" that Mumsnet "promotes gender hatred".'

I can't help but think they went about this all wrong. Flashing people isn't going to get them on your side.

It was bad enough when they paraded around in ill-fitting batman costumes and whatever, but this is, well just cringe making.

Nobody could argue with the aims of groups like F4J, but this is entirely the wrong way to go about it...
