Catwoman, Batman & Robin do their thing...

Catwoman Pole Dance for the Soccer Crowds

A member of the campaign group Fathers 4 Justice from the East Anglia region protested on Tuesday evening during the game between Hartlepool United and Hull.

Nija Levis from Northwold, Norfolk dressed as Catwoman, handcuffed herself to the goal post and performed a short pole dance just before the start of the second half and was received with loud applause from the crowd. She was removed by police and released without charge.

The stunt was in support of the Fathers 4 Justice candidate in the Hartlepool by-election which takes place tomorrow (Thursday Sept 30).

Nija is the co-ordinator for the Purplehearts, a group within Fathers 4 Justice that supports Grandparents, new partners and extended family of F4J members took the action to highlight the fact that it is not only the father who is denied access to his children.

'Batman and Robin' in by-Election Protest

Fathers 4 Justice campaigner Jason Hatch is back on the protest trail just days after writing a letter of apology to the Queen for his stunt at Buckingham Palace.

The 33-year-old Batman protester and colleague David Pyke, 43, have scaled a historic ship in Hartlepool Marina ahead of the town’s by-election tomorrow night.

A spokesman for the group said the pair could remain on the ship until the by-election voting ends.

Dressed as Batman, the Fathers 4 Justice campaigner, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, used just a ladder to gain access to the Royal household and staged a five-hour balcony protest.

Today he has scaled HMS Trincomalee, a fully restored 1817 Navy frigate berthed in the town.

Mike Kelly, of Fathers 4 Justice, said the two men were prepared to stay up the masts until the election ends.

He said: “Batman and Robin have arrived in Hartlepool and their message is simple.

“Fight crime by voting for Batman.

“They intend to stay on the ship for a long time. The by-election ends tomorrow night and who knows, they could be up there until then.”

The protesters are campaigning in support Fathers 4 Justice candidate Paul Watson who is contesting the Hartlepool by-election.

Last week, other campaigners from the group, scaled the Transporter Bridge, in neighbouring Middlesbrough, to launch Mr Watson’s election campaign.
