And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

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

*He was sacked from.cnn wasn't he ?

He was sacked from pretty much every job. Failing upwards each time*

True how do men like him land on there feet is beyond me.

@Frazzled2207

Always found it very odd that Susannah basically sat there and just accepted his ranting. She never really stood up to him like Alex did did she? I bet she’s delighted
I thought the cold monologue she gave the morning after was telling. Lorraine and Kate Garraway both gave big eulogies to Piers Morgan on ITV.

The pair of them had become unwatchable. Piers rants away, Susanna sits there mute or plays along with a good cop/bad cop routine. It was crying out for someone to call Piers out the way Alex did and of course Mr Free Speech couldn't handle that.

Yes I thought it was disgraceful the way he ranted like a madman, put Susannah down all the time and talked over her. He is a rude, unpleasant man. Susannah obviously disagreed
with his views a lot of the time but she never really spoke up. I’m glad he’s gone.

Lorraine called him.a loyal friend Sharon Osbourne is over in America crying in every interview about "her friend" whilst making it all about Sharon, I wonder how they would respond if it was their daughters he was obsessed with and publicly harassing!

Well quite.

Sharon especially. Hmm

Port1aCastis · 12/03/2021 09:34

Well yes, if my daughter was subjected to that barrage of hate and abuse I'd be encouraging her to sue for defamation, the awful vitriolic bitching and vile hate directed towards Meghan is off the scale and who else would take all the nasty abuse

longwayoff · 12/03/2021 09:46

Sharon Osborne is conditioned to find this standard of male behaviour an acceptable norm. Her father would make PM look like Mary Poppins if compared. Mr O has his own issues. Defending the indefensible is second nature to her.

Sharon was so cringe. Telling that black woman she has no right to cry (even though she was not), and that she, Sharon should cry (and she was). Then demanding the black woman educate her about racism. That other woman was so calm. All the while swearing. So entitled !
HummusAndCarrotSticks · 12/03/2021 09:50

Oh sweet jesus Sharon Osbourne 🤦‍♀️

Mrsjayy · 12/03/2021 09:52

Oh thanks for sharing that video everybody prepare to die of cringe.

What?! We are criticising his work. He was the front man who is of a major TV programme. We are quite entitled to say he was not doing it right.

We are not calling him, fat, ugly, etc.

longwayoff · 12/03/2021 10:33

Bloody hell! Makes your teeth ache. Anyone else on here recall non-racist PM and Naomi Campbell in court where she won her case. Amongst other misbehaviour, he had referred to her as a 'chocolate soldier'. Her reference to this was described by him as her 'playing the race card'. Another instance of 'not me guv just doing my job'. Tsk.

The snowflakes can only give it but run away crying when the tables are turned. 'Free speech' should only be allowed for PM apparently.

Oh boy. Sharon Osbourne displaying about the same self awareness as a rock there Shock

What no way 😲 I don't recall that.

Ah yes the race card though somebody on a friend's FB status accused Alex Beresford of pulling the race card .

Anybody who uses the phrase 'the race card' is racist AF

Oh absolutely.

longwayoff · 12/03/2021 10:45

He was excusing the use of the phrase by one of his Mirror columnists. Google 14 Feb 2002, daily mail, Morgan, Campbell. Take a valium first.

Toooldforthisshit49 · 12/03/2021 11:29

@rousette 👋 👋

Port1aCastis · 12/03/2021 11:38

As usual grubby bullies like Morgan can't take a dose of their own medicine and skulk off crying to Mama.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander as my Gran used to say and she was spot on.
I really hope Meghan sues him for every penny but then that would create more headlines full of nastiness and hate

Roussette · 12/03/2021 11:38

No idea what that emoji means sorry

I forgot all about that Wow
justanotherneighinparadise · 12/03/2021 12:09

Ive never watched GMB I’ll admit, so I’ve no idea what PM was like beyond the stuff I read in the papers. He ran the News of the World though didn’t he? He was always known to be controversial and I’m going to assume that’s one of the reasons he got good ratings. Lots of people share his opinions. They won’t admit it In the same way most people won’t admit to voting leave or voting Tory, however he does speak for a swathe of people in the UK.

Will be interesting to see who is replacement is.

CrunchyBiscs · 12/03/2021 12:35

I wonder if he had a contract with ITV he couldn't break but had to get out hence the faux anger and angst over MM until he was fired.
Now he can tootle over to GMB new radio station, new job.
