(Yes, it's a DM link. No, I will not apologise for it.)

Piers Morgan has 'reported' Jameela Jamil's to the police on Twitter for 'mis-gendering' him amid their furious row about gender fluidity.

The row between the duo, which has been going on for over 24 hours, started earlier in the week with a disagreement about Sam Smith saying he doesn't identify as either a man or a woman.

Piers, 53, took to Twitter on Friday morning to after Jameela, 33, 'mis-gendered' him: '"This thing". Wow. On every level that is a shameful mis-gendering. Cc @metpoliceuk'.

I find this a difficult one. I am gender critical, but I do love Jameela!

I'm with Piers on this one! What's sauce for the goose...

The misgendering was calling him 'hun'. The man is a dick. With allies like him, who needs enemies?

Sorry, off topic but Piers Morgan is only 53?

Jameela's activism around body-shaming is brilliant though. She does use her platform well.

That’s why I was interested in what she had to say. But then a plus size black journalist (her name escapes me now) instigated a pile on - this seems to be her raison d’etre on Twitter - for not featuring enough black women and/or plus sized women. And instead of calling it out for what it was (it was very unpleasant and bitter and personal) Jameela just sat there and took it and simpered about “oh yes I am ignorant about the black female experience and I’m so sorry and I promise to educate myself”. She came across as quite spineless and, like I said, trying to hard to be woke when she just needed to tell the pile on to fuck off.

They both sound insufferable there. A great example of Twitter bringing out the worst in people.

I never got Jameela. I've met too many London private school girls over the years. She always came across as Queens College, rather than as interesting or origional. Her wokeness does not surprise me.

He gets it- I read the comments earlier and most people really don't get it.

I must admit I followed Jameela for a while but unfollowed because I found her a bit insufferable. She tries way too hard to be woke.
