“Why I hit Murdoch”

The Guardian’s Comment is Free has given a platform to the self-styled comedian Jonnie Marbles, who attacked Rupert Murdoch with a plateful of shaving foam. He says he did it ‘for the people who couldn’t’, which is ironic given that he couldn’t either after, owing to Wendi Deng’s bejewelled fist.

This has sparked a debate about whether it is fit and proper to have allowed Marbles the space. CoffeeHousers’, over to you…

PS: In a tweet that exceeds the limits of parody, Alec Baldwin appears to have called for David Cameron to resign as Prime Minister of England. The actor also adds that we’re a very talented nation. Joking aside, it’s an indication that this overblown story is taking the form of a global pandemic.
