And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

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

Sharon Osbourne has issued an apology

I don't what people watched but I thought that Alex Beresford came across as a sanctimonious T**t, who does he think he is to have a go at PM whilst basically making it up as he goes along. The press turned on MM and HM because they started to lecture the public about saving the environment and then jet around in borrowed private Jets. I dislike her based solely on her her personality. MM is narcissistic and therefore twists any reality to suit herself and HM is her co dependent.

Sharon needs to shut her mouth and stop whingeing.

'I'M sTiLl LeArNing'. Like she hasn't had 70-odd years to learn.

Someone needs to go to Specsavers. I hear they do ears as well as eyes now. Book a double appointment.

So the man who rants and raves, shouts over people, ignores their answers, bellows and belittles, and who has been carrying out a hate campaign on Meghan for a long time, because he was almost stalking her with his daily tweets... he's OK.

But the man who was asked for his opinion (which is why he was sat at the desk) who was calm and measured and gave an opinion... he's a sanctimonious twat.

Okaaaay...

This 'logic' speaks for itself 🤭
ancientgran · 12/03/2021 14:35

Alex has said he didn't want Piers to leave and he thanked him for his help in the past.

There should be a Piers Morgan Appreciation degree offered. Only 8 UCAS points and a psychiatric exam that you need to fail as entrance requirements.
No tuition fees because...well, its only fair.

longwayoff · 12/03/2021 14:43

Oh saracorona. Time to buy a new tv. You, or it, is not working correctly.

Roussette · 12/03/2021 14:49

But we have to unravel what that post means...

I loathe Meghan who happens to be mixed race, and I have done an armchair diagnosis that Harry was made to marry her because he has no mind of is own and is co dependent, and she has NPD so makes him do these things. And anyone who lays in to her is alright in my book. And they should not be called out by anyone.

@saracorona YOU'RE the one twisting reality. Who is Alex to have a go at PM? Only someone who understands RACE ISSUES far more than PM or you ever will. PM makes up every thing as he goes along and he is the only sanctimonious t**t. Alex came across as very dignified, very respectful and very on point. The narcissistic people who attack people make up lies as they go along and pretend she is attacked about the environment when that's not it, considering her and Harry barely ever even use private jets. It's an excuse for racists to justify their abuse of Meghan. Meghan is far from narcissistic, but any lies you need to make to justify racism and your ignorance. Stop re-writing the facts because they are inconvenient to you.

It would have been interesting to see his reaction to the fact that the police are trying to stop the Reclaim the Streets vigils given the fact HE was the one calling for tighter and tighter restrictions.

I bet we would have had even more hypocrisy from him over this.

sadblackcat · 12/03/2021 16:06

Like all bullies he can give it out but he cant take it back. Good riddance to him.

itsgettingwierd · 12/03/2021 16:07

@GoLightlyontheEarth

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.
She tried to speak up.

But she barely got 3/4 words out and then he'd start talking over her.

After 6 years I think she was worn down by it. She's a very intelligent and good journalist and I hope they put someone beside her who allows her the chance to flourish and speak and not who she has to play sidekick to.

And keys not forget PM was the one who suggested he came in and requested and arranged it because Alex has been hood at getting the racism point across so well previously.
Roussette · 12/03/2021 16:16

Exactly! He was sat at 'the' desk. He didn't just wander over spouting off.

I would love love love to think we never hear of PM again. He has enough money to just disappear
Sadly I don't think my wish will come true.

Good progress though I thought this week. I saw with my own eyes two people stand up to Piers Morgan with real strength - face to face. Never thought I'd see that - Shola Mos-Shogbamimu on Monday and Alex Beresford on Tuesday. Then he jumped ship. Or was pushed.

derxa · 12/03/2021 16:40

Shola Mos-Shogbamimu on Monday Piers and Shola have been shouting at one another for years.

Roussette · 12/03/2021 16:44

Trisha Goddard too.

She made him look a complete tool.

“I'm sorry, Piers – you don't get to call out what is and isn't racism against Black people. I'll leave you to call out all the other stuff you want, but leave the racism stuff to us, eh?”

I loved that.

The problem with PM is he was actually so good at noticing the small facts and calling them out that he became too important in his own head for what he could handle.

He shouted about MM and PH being hypocrites for taking a private jet after talking another climate change - he had a point.

But then lectures everyone about 'moron ministers' keeping boarders open and Christmas mixing and lecturing the nation to make the right choice. He told all his avid viewers he'd planned a quite Christmas with the family. Then jets off to Antigua.

His demise came because he had no intention of standing by what he said he believed and hated being called out for it. He thought he was above others and untouchable.

I also remember the morning he made a whole VT on Matt Hancock calling JVT JVT.
This is one of the most intelligent academic men in the world right now who can more than stand up for himself. He was the only one willing to comment on Cummings eye sight trip. It's quite obvious he could have said if he didn't want addressing a particular way in public.
So he played it to JVT and asked the bemused bloke what he thought of MH calling him what in public.
He didn't quite know how to respond when he said he's been called that most of his academic life and it doesn't bother him.

He's been trying to bully those he doesn't like more and more and eventually people had enough.
