Yes and no.
They do have a point, as they are supposedly campaigning for equal rights of access to their children. Ever since their methods have got more radical, I've thought "what kind a parent were you to your children". There have been stories in the press that they were wife-beaters and child abusers.
I don't agree with the way that they are going about it. Causing traffic to grind to a halt near Tower Bridge, climbing on motorway gantries and causing the choking of arterial routes out of London, pelting the PM with a purple flour filled condom and causing a security alert and now apparently cutting off (the power feeds?) to one of the transmitters that serves a relatively large area of the North West?
They must be getting desperate, and I fear the more radical they start becoming, the more people will get pissed off with them and so will cause the unintended effect of making people simply ignore their cause. Causing gridlock around Tower Bridge and making people lose their analogue signal for a good 4 hours probably won't gain them any supporters.
On the other hand, the Suffragettes did it and look where we are today....

Yes, but anyone who has studied the plight of women getitng the vote would know that is was more to do with the work they did during the war than any militant action of the Surragettes prior to this,

As long as their protest is NVDA (non violent direct action) I think it is OK. Even if a llittle bizarre at times!

Why are you such a stuck-up arrogant little prick all of a sudden?
With regards to F4J - might have a worthy cause but sabotaging a transmitter doesn't help it IMO.
