I 💓 Piers Morgan

Well, more the discussions on his YouTube channel, I watch them most nights. I seem to pretty much agree with most things he says and don’t think he’s that bad. I realise most people (I think) don’t feel like this, is there something wrong with me? When I told my mum, she said ‘Eww, he’s awful, I hate his voice’ 😬

Anyone else find the YouTube channel discussions interesting? I’m quite addicted

What @PuppyDay said. Also I have met him a few times due to a weird association with his wife. Just confirmed what I thought, he is not a nice person. He has no integrity, has never been a serious journalist, spits bile and basically is just all about Piers. As a country we really need to stop being held in thrall of these entitled, not particularly bright wankers.

I couldn't agree more with this last sentence!

mustytrusty · 25/05/2025 08:52

Do you know his history in terms of his journalistic career OP? He should be in prison really. He's Teflon for some reason and it's remarkable that he's still allowed in mainstream media. There must be some families who are hurt by his regular presence on TV screens.

He's a cretin. An absolute smug idiot

I like Clarkson. Piers Morgan is a cunt though. Nothing to do with being anti-woke (I mean, who fucking isn't these days?), I probably agree and disagree with his opinions in equal measure. It's that he's a gobshite hack with little intelligence and no integrity.

I prefer Morgan to Clarkson. That’s how low down Clarkson is to me.

luckylavender · 25/05/2025 08:46

Nasty egotistical bully. Read up on why he got sacked from the Daily Mirror. Very clever in how he positions himself as normal. Quite Farage like.

Comtesse · 25/05/2025 08:39

Self righteous, self important and conceited would be more like it.

He oversaw the hacking scandal that hacked the phones of bereaved families like Millie Dowler’s then having listened to their private messages used them to sell papers.

He may have good or bad opinions but I don’t know as I don’t listen to him. I don’t want to know what a man who did that thinks of others. I would prefer to get my commentary from a man who didn’t put profit above the most basic of morals.

This is exactly why I won't watch him either. How low he goes to get a good story is disgusting.

CalicoPusscat · 25/05/2025 01:44

Well, the thread title isn't words I often hear.

I did like his book The Insider as it talks about figures in the news from when I was a child, Princess Di, Jordan, Blair, Brown, Spice Girls etc. He talks about the war photos and insider trading in that book.

I don't watch him on tv. He did appear to have a crush on MM and was bitter she shut him out.

Hi Piers

EmeraldRoulette · 25/05/2025 01:28

Phone hacking in order to get a scoop about a missing child - for the papers it's just an opportunity to make money

I mean, the phone hacking of grown adults is bad enough on its own for me, but maybe not for you @Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow

PyongyangKipperbang · 25/05/2025 01:21

Ironic that people are likening him to Jeremy Clarkson, who famously punched Morgan in the gob! He hates him more than most!

JC has long admitted that his boorish image from Top Gear was an act. He was the "mans man". James May was the "boring man" and Richard Hammond was the"excitable young man". They all played their parts to appeal to the widest audience possible, and it cant be denied that it worked.

I never had a big issue with JC, loved Top Gear etc but my opinion of him really did change with Clarksons Farm. Yes he plays it up to the camera, as does Caleb, but there are several moments that you can see are genuine. When his infertile sheep when to the abatoir and had been killed before he could say goodbye was particularly moving. That wasnt acting.

Beingmeisnice · 25/05/2025 00:50

He never gives anyone the chance to finish what they are saying he just butts in.
Tbh he never lets anyone speak.
He`s so rude i use to watch gmtv in the mornings but he just pissed me off so gave up watching it.
Then the time he stormed off the set because no one was going to keep taking his crap.
I dont hate him hes just not important enough to watch.
Him and jeremy kyle are the same both huge bullies.

Morgan is arrogance personified.

I cannot imagine being married to a man like that. He'd be under the patio in minutes.

What is it about people idolising total bully arseholes now? We used to admire gentler qualities in people, now we only want to watch aggressive, opinionated dick heads!

I’ve met him a number of times and my partner used to work with him. He’s a cunt.

Maybe I worked adjacent to your partner! Agreed, yet he's not a bad journalist and I think he does some things well. I have watched some of his videos.

There are also quite a lot of videos where he blatantly sets out to bully some hapless fool, sometimes really uncomfortable to watch. I am rarely on the side of the hapless fool, but it's possible to show someone up without reducing them to whimpering jelly.

He's a nasty bully, and it makes me despair that anyone could find him in anyway entertaining to watch. Same goes for Jeremy Clarkson. How have we sunk so low as to continue to allow bullies like these to grace our screens?

Jeremy is not so bad on his farm series.

I wish he wasn’t so foul-mouthed but other than that he isn’t too bad.

Cecilly · 25/05/2025 00:00

He’s very arrogant and full of himself. I don’t like him. But I also don’t like that style of really loud, pushy “gotcha” interviews. It puts me off.

It's because he's a bit right of centre. That's the only reason 'some' people loathe him. He's not left wing, he's not PC, he hates 'wokery,' he doesn't play by the rules, he doesn't give a shit about saying the 'right thing,' and some people can't handle that. See also: Jeremy Clarkson. I like him too! 😆

No, it's because he's a bully.
