Quote: Badge @ August 4 2011, 9:44 AM BSTNo similar protester in recent times has been jailed. The protesters who hit Blair with purple powder in the House of Commons weren't jailed.
But the powder was thrown from a distance and just hit him on the shoulder. And Blair is 30 years younger than Murdoch. As miscarriages of justice go, it's not quite up there with the Birmingham 6.

I'm hardly suggesting it is, Chip. I'm not signing up to the Free Marbles movement.
Is marbles sentence set in stone?
They might be able to chip some time off for good behaviour.
If he has been sentenced to six weeks - does that mean he will do only three?
It's friends and family I feel sorry for - no-one wants to lose their marbles, even for a few weeks.
Marbles getting locked away? It's health and safety gone mad!
He did have a glazed look when the sentence was read.

Or less. An ex MP has just been released after doing only a quarter, a quarter! of his sentence. And the prat is hardly going to be locked up in Belmarsh.

It's not as bonkers as conkers.
It would be cool if there was a rival comic out there called Jonnie Conkers. And he had a feud with Marbles.
Judge could have really cruel and sentenced him to appear in the remaining episodes of "Show me the Funny."
To be fair about Johnny Marbles he has got balls!

Yes I think he has more of a future now as a comic than if he appeared on that.

I saw a YouTube performance of his the other day. It's very strange the level of c**t calling he received, he did attack someone most people didn't like.
Ok, his act was crap but there must be thousands of bad standups.
He'll be getting plenty of foam pies............in the showers.
