Stone Age Dads mount protest

Three men dressed as cartoon caveman Fred Flintstone climbed on top of Stonehenge yesterday to protest about Tory leader David Cameron's comments on absent fathers.

The trio, from Fathers 4 Justice, scaled the ancient stones on Salisbury Plain shortly after 9am with supplies to last up to three days.



Matt O'Connor, founder of the group said the three Fred Flintstones, each wigged and holding caveman clubs, would be on the stones overnight and had supplies for three days.

"Tourists are loving taking pictures of the three Freds - the world's most famous Stone Age man on the world's most famous Stone Age monument," he added.

The protesters are Richard West, 40, of Ottery St Mary in Devon, David White, 29, from Southampton, and Jolly Stanesbury, 36, from Ivybridge, Devon, Fathers 4 Justice said.
