Piers Morgan storms off set after being called out by Alex, the GMB weatherman, on his behaviour

[chomalungma]

And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

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

ITV are a disgrace for allowing him on in the first place after his part in the phone hacking scandal and I've no sympathy for anyone watching him either, he's a despicable morally corrupt human being who shouldn't be given a platform.

I assume they hired him for ratings, he didn't just arrive and sit at the GMB desk.

Wow Alex 👏 what a wonderful measured calm speech.

It amazes and dismays me that grown man of Pier's Morgan's age can be so immature. A guest on GMB told him recently that he was a 'petty, petulant, fragile man-baby' - he has just proved her right, again. I wish they would sack him. I'm sick of his ranting like an overgrown toddler, he and Trump are of the same ilk, pathetic shrivel-cocked little men who want to be the biggest man in town and can't take it when other's tell them to shut up and piss off - which I wish they both would. There is no eye-roll big enough for Piers. Vile little man.

Alex Beresford was genuinely angry , and with good cause.

And it isn’t easy for a presenter of colour, on a lower pay grade than PM, to stick his head above the parapet.

The wriggling and squirming to excuse the DM and PM of any element of racism is embarrassing to watch.

And I don’t think the content about Archie’s skin tone was a ‘threat’. It was a description of the kind of environment in to which they were bringing a mixed race child. The culture of The Firm, rather than an accusation of an individual.

I see the palace are investigating bullying allegations against M. I wonder if they have ever looked at their diversity policy and practice? Every corporate company has needed to.

[quote SoulofanAggron]I agree with most of his opinions but he no longer fits the wannabe brand of ITV. They are trying to be all 'BeKind' after the Kyle and Flack incidents, and also into 'diversity.'

I think he's going to have to go [/quote]
Well shame on you then. I suppose you think Katie Hopkins is the voice of reason as well do you?

Ugh.

💯

I don't like the man and think his behaviour during the pandemic has been appalling - but that is a personal attack that is uncalled for .

Hi Piers, I think you're a fragile, pathetic man-baby who is obsessed with Meghan. Uncalled for personal attack my arse.

@ReverendRicketyCricket who is that? He loves the sound of his own voice more than PM does. I had to stop watching...

I think the producers must have turned Pier's mike off for the duration of Alex's speech there is no other way he could have sat through that without talking over him. That's probably why he stormed off - because the producers overruled him to remind him the show is bigger than he is.

Wrong . Read my other posts .

You sound lovely. 'Diversity' in inverted commas. Nice dog-whistle racism there.

No ta

Now who deserves an Oscar?

He's such a foul little man.

I like this Alex guy I think he deserves all the accolades he can get - fucking well done for calling out this racist prick. That ITV continue to give him a platform for it, and that some here support him, sums up the UK today.

ITV is the home of Jeremy Kyle. They were happy to let JK bully and shout people down until someone committed suicide and then they pulled the show. Pathetic, hypocritical company.

I have no respect for Philip Schofield and Ant McPartlin either, so to me ITV is just the pits. Hope they go bust.

Exactly. Stop watching this bilge people!!

Isn't that the second time he's been given the 'reason you suck' speech in two days after that doctor laid into him when he tried to mansplain what racism was? No wonder he's going all 'bouncing back'!

What really angered me about Piers , was his insistence that Meghan was lying about being suicidal.
This really upset me

Spoilt brat throwing his dolly out of the pram. Complete mummies boy "I'll scream and scream and make myself sick" lol. x
Who would be attracted to that. puke, not envy.

He really has got everyone frothing talking hasn't he?

People should just stop watching ITV then it will go bust.
Waste of time supporting the channel and then complaining.

Piers Morgan is just vile.

What's with the MN obsession about "called out", "call him out", etc., though?

Surely "challenged" is the grown up word here.

Excellent. Sadly the title led me to believe that the weatherman had randomly stopped in the middle of the forecast for Wednesday to say “and by the way Piers is an utter twat and should leave Meghan Markle alone”, which would have been more entertaining. But good that the programme gave him a proper platform for a measured response.

It's not a MN word, it's a generally used phrase. Language evolves. Deal with it.
