The Cribs’ Gary Jarman: ‘Rupert Murdoch deserves a slap’ – video

But the bassist adds he wouldn't like to be the one doing the slapping


The CribsGary Jarman has said he reckons that NewsCorp and Fox head honcho Rupert Murdoch deserves a slap.

Speaking to NME backstage at Latitude Festival last weekend in a video which you can see at the top of your screen, the bass player said that despite being a peace-loving guy, he thought Murdoch was owed a slap.

When asked who he reckoned needed a slap, he said: “I’m a pacifist, so I wouldn’t like to do it myself, but Rupert Murdoch and anyone involved in Fox News. But like I said, I wouldn’t like to do it myself.”
