AN APPEALING SUGGESTION?

I see that Jonathan May-Bowles, aka Jonnie Marbles, has today been sentenced to six weeks in the slammer for throwing a pie made of shaving foam in the general direction of Rupert Murdoch at the recent Commons Committee hearings into alleged phone hacking.  

Mr. May-Bowles/Marbles has apparently lodged an appeal against this sentence,  although he has not been allowed bail and continues to be locked up.   Now, the appeal makes it difficult to comment on this case which therefore remains sub-judice, but here`s a suggestion.

If the appeal judge does not feel inclined to confirm the custardial sentence, perhaps instead he will require Mr. May-Bowles/Marbles to attend a Government sponsored projectile aiming course so as to improve his accuracy in any future pie-throwing escapade.  He needs to work on his technique and, in much the same way as there are speed awareness courses for motorists, I`m sure there`s  an appropriate course somewhere for errant pie throwers.

I agree. Especially as he`ll be sponging off the state if he stays in.

We`re jelling nicely but in danger of turning into the Chuckle Brothers?
