Johnnie Marbles, whose real name is Jonathan May-Bowles, describes himself on his Twitter account as "Activist, comedian, father figure and all-round nonsense."
On Tuesday, his shaving-foam pie attack on Rupert Murdoch interrupted a dramatic hearing in which the media baron told British lawmakers he was not responsible for a phone hacking scandal that has rocked his global empire.
Dressed in a plaid shirt, as Mr Marbles rushed towards the senior Murdoch, he struck by Mr Murdoch's wife, Wendi Deng.
Just before the attack, he wrote on his Twitter feed: "It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat," a slightly altered quotation from the last sentence of CharlesDickens' 'A Tale of Two Cities'.
His previous tweets include -
It might be quicker if Baby Murdoch simply listed all of the things that he does know #hackgate
One gets the sense that they haven't really done the required reading ahead of their presentation. Think they may fail this module #hackgate
Minutes after the protest he had apparently been ditched by his unimpressed girlfriend, Twitter user pageantmalarkey, who wrote: 'Not funny. Not clever. Not your girlfriend.'
