Rupert Murdoch

[Gromit]

Has Rupert lost the plot or is it an act?

[emmie]

some white substance, so could be shaving foam, what would be the point.

Pictures of the attacker are currently appearing on BBC News channel. He is about 40 years old and wearing a check shirt. He is covered with shaving foam.

[Euphemia]

Good on her!

It did appear to be what is legally known as "a proper smack". Contempt of parliament has just been mentioned, what is likely to happen to the protester?

[Ankou]

a pair of concrete boots for a stroll on the thames.

[emmie]

Probably cautioned and let go, how did he get in in the first place?

[redman41]

Attacker named as Johnny Marbles ( Comedian ) who has obviously lost his marbles

[avanalarf]

hearing now resumed

[AB Editor]

"how did he get in in the first place?"

The public are allowed into these select committees, ideally so we can keep an eye on our representatives.

[emmie]

wonder if they will do so again, in light of this.

[ladybirder]

I knew it. The police shouldn't have arrested her before this hearing. She's using it as an excuse not to answer questions as feared. Found time to go to the hairdressers I see.

I'll be cyncial -PR Co could have paid for the stunt - purpose to generate sympathy for the Murdochs.......

After all the garbage that NoW pulled, this isn't beyond the grounds of reality.....

[LoftyLottie]

Funnily enough, that crossed my mind too DT.

[plautus]

Ooh! You're a bit of a cynic on the side, DT.

[LoftyLottie]

I didn't realise that the young attractive asian lady in pink, sitting behind him, was his wife!!

[emmie]

indeed LL, and that smack didn't look fake

[Ankou]

maybe she weren't in on it. you know to give it authenticity an'all.

[LoftyLottie]

It was quite loud em!!
