^^Exactly.
Did he even get any of the cream on Rupert?

Apparently Murdoch got a full face of it. But the cameras didn't pick it up.

zooo, please don't call me a fool just because we disgree. That's not the BCG way!
IS TOO! 
I mean "fool" isn't nearly offensive enough!

It's actually because you've got a gooseberry up each nostril and a carton of cream in your pocket.
That's a euphemism too far, Sootyj

In America his wife would have had a gun and put a hole in the attacker. Hopefully one of these days that'll happen so the idiots with pies, eggs, paint and glitter will stop these self-promoting assaults.
I doubt very much that Marbles was trying to draw attention to himself. He was trying to draw attention to Murdoch. How necessary that was when he was already in front of a commons committee is a matter for some debate, but I don't think you can put this down to self promotion.
I think it absolutely stinks of self promotion, but we shall just have to disagree!
It's always about self-promotion. Murdoch was the número uno news story in the country at the time. Nobody needed to draw any attention to him.
All the pie/egg/paint/glitter tossers are just that: tossers.

I do kind of like the way that usually in England it's eggs and silly things like that getting thrown. It's kind of endearing.
It's pretty international in Canada David Ike almost got pied but they ended up pying them selves.
