    Whatever you think of the sentence* the judge has once again proved the system stinks.

    She is the same woman who recently dealt with the case of another judge who beat up his wife – she gave him a community order. She is also the judge who cleared TSG riot cop Delroy Smellie of assault after he slapped a female protester in the face and hit her in the legs with his baton.

    I know not many of them bother with them generally but she completely ignored sentencing guidelines.

    And refused him bail whilst he appeals the sentence.

    The judge has clearly taken into account the location and the status of the target (and the fact they will be reported on the tele) as aggravating factors when she shouldn’t have.

    *Personal view – a fine not custodial.

    Seems reasonable in my opinion, given the context. If he wanted to protest I’m sure there are other outlets he could have chosen but disrupting a serious parliamentary committee is moronic, especially given they were there to try and get to the bottom of the very injustice the protestor claims he is so against.

    Personally I think the guy probably has no feelings about Murdoch or the wrongdoings that his organisation is responsible for and more likely wanted to get on TV and launch some half-assed comedy career, so I don’t have any sympathy. It could have backfired spectacularly and garnered Murdoch a lot of public sympathy and I guess we’ll never know for sure whether or to what extent it already has.

    Plus, assaulting an 80(?) year old man is way over the line, even if he is a dick.

    causing harassment, alarm or distress.

    Apart from the fact that “smacking” someone in the teeth will result in surgery for your hand

    No, smacking someone in the teeth will not necessarily result in surgery to your hand – where’s the logic behind that ? Teeth can provide considerably less resistance than someone’s skull. Besides, a fractured hand rarely requires surgery.

    I would’ve followed up the smack in the teeth with an elbow to the ear and a knee to the nose. That would have sorted out the 80 year old warmongering media mogul and shown him. Mind you, only if his missus weren’t there…….she’s a bit scary 😐

    I think you are overlooking the sharpness of shattered teeth and the vulnerability of the fragile skin and bones of your hand.

    Besides, I don’t think you’d really punch a frail, defenceless old man in the face because you’re piqued at the way he does business, it’s just your usual froth of agitated, keyboard warrior wish-fulfillment.

    Unless I’m wrong of course and you really would do it.

    In which case, you’d deserve everything you got. Corrupt judge or not.

    IMHO, of course. No offense.

    Nice to see that the mindless thug who assaulted Rupert Murdoch has got his comeuppance. Whatever you might say about Murdoch, he is still a frail old man and should have his human rights protected more than others because of how famous he is. I’m not saying that everybody who uses shaving foam to attack people should go to prison, that would be stupid.

    he is a **** **** that has damaged democracy in the western world he should be hung until he is dead!

    Cheeky git…..what “fragile skin and bones” in my hand ?

    I’m as hard as nails I’ll let you know……..I’m wacking my hands all the time – I don’t feel a thing.

    I think her point was that Johnny F**kwit (or whatever his name is) didn’t know what was in the shaving foam and whether it could have harmed Murdoch.

    The guy in the House of Commons knew flour wasn’t going to hurt anyone.

    I think that shaving foam, as a substance that is intended to be applied to the face, is probably one of the safer products to use to create a fake custard pie which you intend to apply to someone’s face. He may have considered his actions more carefully than you considered your post.

    I quite liked his statement to the press after sentencing:
    “this is the most humble day of my life……”
