The Murdoch Empire's Greatest Test

[Prospero]

First time I've agreed with you Faldur. It is indeed scary - but then these same police people were also in the diplomatic protection corp and the royal protection corps and were, allegedly, selling contact details of various royals and other high-ups in politics to journalists. So you can tell just how important their work is as opposed to our safety.

I have been to a few Committee rooms (but not in Portcullis House where the Murdoch incident took place) as well as the Stranger's Gallery, you can't even make notes in the Gallery without being hauled out; my guess is that the clown managed to conceal a paper plate and a can of foam somewhere, or he was outside the room and dodged inside when someone wasn't looking, but I would have thought visitors were not allowed to carry bags into the room, so it puzzles me -also after that raid in the Commons chamber a few years ago and Murdoch being a 'prize target' you would expect extra vigilance. I didn't see if Wendi Murdoch had a handbag with her -not that she needed one...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out in the wash that the whole pie foam stunt was indeed a planned, orchestrated stunt designed to distract attention and steal oxygen.

Very sunday paper-ish material fodder indeed.

Miss Aeryn, You're very cynical - but that thought crossed my mind too Not so much a distraction as a way of getting the vulnerable old fella some sympathy - and showing him to be dignified enough to carry on regardless.

Whatever, but Wendi Murdoch has to be a shoo-in for the next instalment of Kill Bill....

Oh I love Wendi... but read the profile in today's Independent and realise what a calculating person she is. Rupert is husband number 3 - part of her own campaign for global domination. I think she is a sleeper for the people's republic.
