A member of the reformed Fathers 4 Justice protest group has told why he helped orchestrate their invasion of the live broadcast of the National Lottery Draw.

Guy Harrison, 38, from Steyning, was part of the organisation behind the group's relaunch on Saturday night when six members interrupted the BBC1 National Lottery: Jet Set programme for several minutes.

The six demonstrators made it on to the stage before they were dragged out of the TV studio by security and ushered outside.

Mr Harrison, who found notoriety when he joined singer Bryan Ferry's son Otis throwing condoms of powder at Mr Blair in a Commons hunt protest, did not join the protesters and is awaiting a court appearance for his protest stunt.

He said: "I helped in the management and orchestration of this stunt. It was a peaceful protest, no one was arrested and there was no violence.

"This marks the dramatic return of Fathers 4 Justice. We reformed because nothing had changed within family law.

"The lottery is a metaphor for what can happen to any parent, mother or father, and their children, at the hands of the secret family courts.

"It's our duty to warn parents about what is happening and send them this message: Don't play family law lotto - don't gamble with your kids.

"There was a woman in the protest as well to show that this affects everyone."

Fathers 4 Justice was shut down in January after extremist sympathisers were accused of plotting to kidnap Prime Minister Tony Blair's son Leo.

The stunt marks the second anniversary of Fathers 4 Justice's notorious flour bomb attack in the House of Commons.

The group's original founder, Matt O'Connor, said members were now planning more hoaxes over the coming months.

Formed in December 2002, F4J have hit the headlines by hijacking high-profile events to promote their message of equality for dads.
