As you will have seen on the news on Wednesday, towards the end of the CMS Select Committee meeting in which Rupert and James Murdoch were being grilled by MPs, a protester named Jonnie Marbles got up and attempted to throw a shaving foam ‘pie’ into the face of Rupert Murdoch. A controversial act – and we are planning to be debating the merits of this direct action on tomorrow’s episode of The Pod Delusion. In the meantime though, here’s an exclusive interview with the man himself, Jonnie Marbles, in which he explains his motivations, how it happened, and whether he has any regrets doing it.

So, let me say that I will happily buy the self-aggrandising, ignorant, anti-democratic, philistine worrier of old people, Jonnie Marbles, a copy of A Tale of Two Cities at his request.
