Murdoch shaving foam attacker 'Jonnie Marbles' jailed

 
From the BBC News website:
 
A man who threw a plate of shaving foam at News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch has been jailed for six weeks.
 
Jonathan May-Bowles, of Edinburgh Gardens, Windsor, Berkshire, admitted attacking the media tycoon on 20 July at a Commons hearing on phone hacking.
 
The 26-year-old, who calls himself Jonnie Marbles, admitted assault and causing harassment, alarm or distress.

Six weeks for a 'custard pie' assault?
 
Call me cynical, but I'll wager that the supreme irony will be is that'll be six weeks more than Rupert, James and Rebekah serve between them for their repulsive crimes.

    Yeah but if you want to get away with stuff then don't do it in front of everyone, or at least employ somebody to do the deed on your behalf and claim ignorance of his intent.

    I liked his style, saying to the cameras on his court appearance paraphrasing Rupert's "I'd just like to say this is the humblest day of my life"...

    6 weeks would be worth it  to have such a great story to tell the Grandkids.  I'm sure he's not complaining too loudly.
