EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Jonnie Marbles, the man who pie’d Rupert Murdoch

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.

    A minor point. Just before you threw your pie, you tweeted

    “It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before”

    Beyond the asinine and thoughtless actions of this poltroon, he cannot even quote Dickens correctly. The words spoken by Sydney Carton, replacing Charles Darnay on the guillotine, were

    “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.”

    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.
