And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

Good. Piers Morgan is obsessed with her. And Alex called it right.

@Frogartist

I've never watched this programme. Just watches the clips Just wondering if Alex normally just talks about the weather prognosis? Or does he normally get involved with other content like today?
They often get him to talk about race issues. A relative of his was stabbed and he talked about that.

Meh. Stalky office pests who take it personally that you won't fuck them and then spend years telling every newcomer about what a bitch/slag you are never seem to lose everything. He'll just keep picking up his salary until his contract expires and then start up at the new TV thing. Just like the ones in normal offices at most get a great reference for a new job or promoted up away from you.

@Sparklingbrook

The MPs will be queuing up to go on now, just a gentle probing from Susannah perhaps? Grin
Maybe they'll even get a word in.

Well they'll never answer a straight yes/no question that's for sure. Grin

Oh I see, I was wondering if he sort of interrupted the weather forecast to speak out. Still fantastic, seems like they were all fed up with Piers.

Can't imagine that happening on the BBC weather forecast!

Dan Walker just tweeted

“ Sorry to hear the news about your departure from GMB @piersmorgan

If you’d like to come on the UK’s number 1 breakfast show to talk about it... we could make some space for you in the morning 👍🏻“

😂😂

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 19:47

I said earlier today (on which thread i don't know there's so many) that maybe GMB needs a shake up. Big Breakfast in the 90s style maybe? Grin

derxa · 09/03/2021 19:50

Can't imagine that happening on the BBC weather forecast! I see they've now got Owain Wyn Jones on a Saturday. He's so great.

Whydidimarryhim · 09/03/2021 19:51

I’m so bloody pleased. He speaks such vitriol and hardly lets anyone get a word in edgeways.
Megan has got to him!!!
Goodbye Piers. 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Oh naughty Dan bet he is pissing himself laughing at his tweet Grin

RickiTarr · 09/03/2021 19:56

Nor me. Unlike the virtuous saints on here, I watch GMB every week day morning.
Susanna and the rest will soldier on for now. I like Charlene White.

TBH, I don’t know how you hack Susanna either, TBH. She drove me away from BBC breakfast a few years ago to a radio/internet combo for morning news.

Sorry for being so dull & puritanical. I just can’t stand all the bright colours and squawking first thing in the morning. I think it started with Roland Rat. He was worse than even Lorraine. Smile

Alex was brilliant.

OverweightPidgeon · 09/03/2021 20:13

I complained to Ofcom . Glad to see him go , typical bully, dishes it out but runs away when the tables are turned.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 20:15

I don't mind Susanna, I really like Kate Garraway. Charlotte-not fussed, don't see much in the way of personality to comment.

‘Gentle probing’ as opposed to the ‘bulldozer approach’ which left the viewer non the wiser.

None

A middle ground would be good but I can't think of anyone for the job.

Alan Partridge to replace PM!

Someone's already suggested Madeley-same thing! Grin

Such allegations mostly unfounded call huge amounts of stress to those who they are levelled at and can be career ending for many.

Good

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 09/03/2021 22:22

Piers Morgan has been carrying out a personal vendetta against Meghan for a number of years. Quite what his motives are is unclear. He feels wronged by her in some way and doesn't like it. I don't believe he represents the views of others, rather he's been happy to fuel the fire of press and media against her.

This is why he hates her twitter.com/NicsuPR/status/1369275319404879875?s=09

He's the creepy guy you had a drink with and then feels he has the right to harass and abuse you because you rejected him

Katjolo · 09/03/2021 22:35

Well done Alex.
