PRESS ASSOCIATION - A campaigner for fathers rights has started a hunger strike on the Prime Minister's doorstep.
Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) founder Matt O'Connor has started the strike outside the Oxfordshire home of David Cameron and it is expected to last "weeks", a F4J spokeswoman said.
The 44-year-old, from Andover in Hampshire, is demanding that Mr Cameron honours pre-election pledges made to the organisation about ensuring that grandparents have a right to see their grandchildren and for a legal assumption of shared parenting.
He also wants Mr Cameron, a father of three, to retract comments he made to a newspaper describing some dads as "runaways".
Mr O'Connor said he wants the Prime Minister to withdraw the comments that "demonise" fathers.
"
The idea is to carry on for as long as I can - even if I am hospitalised," he said.
Mr O'Connor, who is supported by a team of medics, said his only intake will be water and some lemon juice.
