Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane? No, It's a Nutter From Devon

The British people were celebrating in the streets today after being saved from the evil of Har-Man by a pair of costumed superheroes from Devon.

The hitherto-unknown heroes, ‘Captain Conception’ and ‘Cash Gordon’, used their superpowers to climb a ladder onto the roof of the villainous Har-Man’s secret base in the South London wilderness, where they fearlessly unfurled a banner revealing the inspiring message that a father is for life, not just conception.

“Curses,” hissed the wicked Har-Man, twirling her black moustache and shaking her fist at the caped crusaders clinging to her chimney. “Foiled again!”

The arch-villainess, who as the evil ‘Deputy Leader’ strikes fear into the hearts of millions of ordinary voters, set her inept army of loyal henchmen - the police - against the defenders of Fathers4Justice. In the ensuing battle, in which Har-Man’s crazed followers deployed the dreaded ‘megaphone’, one of the heroes - possibly Cash Gordon (although it may have been Captain Conception) – was dislodged from his rooftop position. However, the other brave comic hero used his special ability to talk to the media on his super-mobile, and said he would remain on the roof until the evil Deputy Leader admitted defeat and read his fallen colleague’s ranting book.

“When she was Minister for Justice, Har-Man refused time and again to listen to our reasoned yelling for the rights of absent fathers to spend quality time with their kids,” shouted Captain Conception, or possibly Cash Gordon. “We successfully brought down Blair the Joker two years ago by fearlessly pelting him with purple flour in the House of Commons, bravely dressing up in silly costumes and recklessly endangering public safety by climbing up tall buildings. Now we have used the recently-published listing of MPs’ second homes to stage this publicity stunt, thereby giving ammunition to those who claimed the information would be abused by any old bunch of nutters. Our actions surely prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Britain’s children need a responsible father figure to teach them the proper way to behave.”
