We need new faces and talent on the TV, it’s same old faces day in day out.

I like Holly but can’t stand Phil. Devious and false. Time for him to go.

ArseMenagerie · 19/09/2022 21:45

I think a lot of the ire against Phil esp on Twitter has been out and out homophobia. Dreadful. I personally couldn’t GAF who presents what daytime show so I guess I’m not invested but the absolute frothing this has caused on here and on Twitter has surprised me.

I'll sign a petition to axe This Morning if there's one on the go

Bodice · 19/09/2022 21:53

I’ve loved to see Philip axed for many reasons but this isn’t one of them.

Ilovemycatalot · 19/09/2022 21:55

If it gets them of the tv I’ll sign it

Stickmansmum · 19/09/2022 21:59

What is wrong with people! It’s like a load of bots just waiting for some tide of ridiculous thought to jump on and indulge their petty little power trip.

Leave Phil and Holly alone. They are just people.

FreyaStorm · 19/09/2022 22:00

Yuuuuup!
If only to get them orf our screens!

Pyewhacket · 19/09/2022 22:02

Don't watch it if you're that pissed-off about it.

ShandaLear · 19/09/2022 22:04

Good grief. No wonder the country is such a bloody mess. We have nurses having to use food banks, we’re about to go into recession, and the cost of living has skyrocketed to the extent that a lot of people will have to choose between food and heat this winter, but yeah, let’s direct our bile at a couple of mediocre TV personalities who may or may not have jumped a queue for TV report. The Daily Heil has us right where it wants us, doesn’t it?

AngelicaSchuylerAndHerSisters · 19/09/2022 22:15

Just stop watching.

Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas · 19/09/2022 22:16

Nope. I don’t watch this morning so I don’t really care who presents it.

Gilmorehill · 19/09/2022 22:20

I did sign it although I don’t expect it to make a difference.

LoisLane66 · 19/09/2022 22:21

Yes.

TooBigForMyBoots · 19/09/2022 22:22

Who is being petitioned @itsnotmeitisactuallyyou?Confused

DillDanding · 19/09/2022 22:31

How ridiculous.

I don’t like them as presenters but the cognitive dissonance over this issue is hilarious.

Eddieisadick · 19/09/2022 22:34

Can’t bear either of them. But people that were queuing have already accepted that some people are ‘better’ and more ‘deserving’ than them just by being born so this isn’t much different

No. I don't think so.

I think many people, me included, take issue with the fact he took advantage of a much younger and impressionable young lad who he met as a child.

Farmerazza · 19/09/2022 22:42

Who even watches their TV show or whatever it is. How can you cancel someone for using a VIP queue to see a coffin?

LizzieSiddal · 19/09/2022 22:48

Exactly. It’s called safeguarding rather than homophobia @ArseMenagerie. The young man Schofield was in a relationship with was swiftly moved from the his job in order to protect Schofield. Why wasn’t Schofield moved?

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 19/09/2022 22:53

Can't stand either of them, and happy to see them suffering this PR nightmare, but certainly wouldn't do anything so 'outraged of Tunbridge Wells' as sign a petition to have them ditched from their TV gig. How suburban. People queuing up for a full 24 hrs to file past the coffin of someone who was given the ultimate VIP life and then take exception to some other pair being treated as VIPs? No logic to it.

hulahooper2 · 19/09/2022 22:54

I’d sign anything wanting to get rid of Phil , he is nauseating, and there was cb no need for them to be inside Westminster hall , they could have done a voiceover from outside

bumblefeline · 19/09/2022 22:55

I can't stand either of them but I do think the whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Just stop watching the show I have. I also haven't watched loose women since they were vile to Kim Woodburn.

MaryDerry · 19/09/2022 22:55

To me this seems another attack on P&H, they seem to have ruffled feathers in the media over the last few months.

Captainmarvel0160 · 19/09/2022 22:59

Bloody cheeky yes however have them axed? No
