Six Weeks Jail for Jonnie Marbles

Wrong Sebastian. Those clowns took an honorable bit of history and co-opted it for themselves. They have nothing to do with the Boston Tea party, and we shouldn't even concede to them their name.

As an example of the quality of their candidates, In my state, those idiots managed to elect one of the world's greatest unjailed thieves Governor. (He was CEO of a hospital chain that was fined $ billions for Medicare fraud) That Governor (elected on the promise of creating jobs) has instead fired thousands, assaulted voting rights, and has attempted to require all government workers to submit to annual drug tests. (He owns a drug testing company)

After all we had done for them too! Come on pay the taxes you owe!! It's too late for the Empire but you can still join the Commonwealth!

Sorry, the statute of limitations has expired on that particular tax bill.

I guessed that Sebastian.

Actually I didn't intend for my response to read like a rant; but on re-reading it, it comes remarkably close.

Just an update on Mr Marbles. He went to appeal today (Friday) and his sentence was reduced to 4 weeks in prison from 6. Still no word on a knighthood or a generous grant from the public purse for his services to the furtherance of a "Free Press" though!
Still one small consolation will be that he will not have his cell phone hacked by the "Democratic Free Press" whilst he is detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure as such items are confiscated for the duration of the confinement. Ho-Hum!!!!!!!!!!

Free Press! Thatsa good one! Apparently he caused the Murdoch's a great deal of fear!! You would have thought he was waving a Kalashnikov around rather than a foam pie! And they call it justice!! What they really can't stand is he upset the "dignity of parliament". As if they have any left after the expenses scandal!

From what little I saw of it the majority of the foam pie ended up on Mr. Marbles himself courtesy of Murdoch's grand-daughter .. no, wait, I mean his wife .. jumping up to intervene. Funnily enough, when I see the two of them together I'm always reminded of a sketch from the Mrs Merton show where she was interviewing Debbie McGee, wife of the magician Paul Daniels, and asked her, "what first attracted you to the millionaire, Paul Daniels?"

As regards the dignity of parliament, you only have to watch 5 mins of Prime Minister's question time to realise they never had any in the first place. Guy Fawkes had the right idea if you ask me ..

That surely wasn't his wife!? I thought she was on the payroll!
