to think that what Piers Morgan is doing on twitter to Meghan is harassment / stalking and he should be reported?

[JoHarrison]

Fellow twitter users - I don't follow Piers Morgan on twitter but I've seen a lot of his tweets about Harry and particularly Meghan retweeted by others. I can't believe the vitriol he has for her. I've reported many of them to twitter as "targeted harassment" (one of the twitter report categories) but of course twitter has done nothing.
Surely his abusive behaviour is something that no woman should have to put up with? (but of course Meghan's hands are tied - she can't say or do anything). Why don't the police have a word? (because if someone was running that sort of campaign against me, I would be asking them to). Or at least twitter do something about him - shut him down for a couple of weeks maybe?

It really is a sad state of affairs. He's boring and selfish, it's all about him. Meghan and Harry are the first royals not to play ball with the press and little creep Piers can't bear not getting his own way. He is horribly prejudiced and arrogant. ITV have no morals. He can say what he likes, as long as he gets the ratings they will keep him on

fucking lol at 'free' press.

Jesus he's been stalking and harassing people for years! So scary. Just read on his wiki page apparently he did the same to Ian hislop and Clive Anderson..every time they upset him he would send photographers to their houses the next day, also tried to pay their friends for dirt. This was in the 90s. Someone needs to sort him out.

MN will not take down threads that are popular unless they really have to and then claim it’s not what MN is about

In the end MN is a business more posts more advertising revenue

They should have banned all nasty threads as they have become so spiteful but then those frothing will move somewhere else to vent and those venting are posting in large numbers and over and over again

It's funny how quick MN were to remove the instamum threads when the instamums complained but I suppose they know MM won't complain so they allow the actual smears and possibly libellous gossip (based on fuck all evidence) to stand.

POSSIBLY TRIGGERING

I've just read this appeal judgment. It makes for awful reading - the original judgment rather than the appeal.

What PM and other men are allowed to do on social media platforms and TV is just evidence of how women don't matter. The actions of this guy and then the judge in this case compounds that. If people like PM are allowed to continue their vitriolic attacks without any consequence which is lapped up by men and sadly many women, this narrative that women don't matter, that the abuse is justified will lead to some very dark places.

I honestly believe some women on this site would find the original judge as being reasonable in some of his findings and that is beyond depressing.

I totally agree. Women thinking this sort of treatment for other women is OK is just beyond the pale. Let alone the vile PM who I pray gets his comeuppance.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to read it.

There's a great interview on YouTube when Hislop and Jeremy Clarkson talk about this. Apparently Morgan sent a reporter to ask Hislop's vicar whether he had any dirt on him, and the vicar had to explain to him carefully what the normal function of vicars is. What Morgan doesn't mention is that he was incredibly frustrated because they just couldn't find anything discreditable about Hislop.

Yes vicars are well known for dishing the dirt moron!

YANBU

Agree with bugged

I’m appalled at what he had done/is doing and getting away with it.

I’m appalled at the vitriol, spite and hate he has for Meghan. One can only imagine if they had not resigned, the way Archie would have been treated by the press as he got older.

I’m also appalled at many threads on Mumsnet regarding Meghan & Harry where she is blamed. I have to mute them it makes me so sick to the stomach.

Awful, toxic, spiteful and nasty man.

Prince Andrew has been up to no good and it's been almost forgotten about - wonder if this is a deliberate tactic to take the attention away from Andrew?

MNHQ please remove nasty vindictive posts about MM and Prince Harry. It is online bullying.

Why the hell was my post deleted?! Just proves my point, that you’ll let hate-filled posts about Meghan stand, but delete posts and whole threads about bloody Instamums! What a joke! @MNHQ

Unbelievable @theWarOnPeace. Saw your post and it was not nearly as bad as the pages of vitriol about Meghan. I see that the daily mail have paid Thomas Markle for a tell all interview about his daughter, where he shows her childhood photos. How revolting. Bet Piers is pleased and will likely be writing one of his odious columns about it on mail online.

I cannot understand why all those spiteful vile threads are allowed to stand either but at least we know what sort of folk are bringing the site down.
Yes Thomas Markle should be ashamed of himself touting his daughter to the highest media bidder then doing a poor me, wonder how much he's trousered from selling his own flesh and blood

Prince Andrew has been up to no good and it's been almost forgotten about - wonder if this is a deliberate tactic to take the attention away from Andrew?

That’s what I’ve been thinking since his ties to Epstein came out. It was major news in the US, yet nothing but Meghan bashing until the interview and then back again with the Meghan bashing. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was part of the reasons that led to them stepping down. The royal women seem to be fair game to the press compared to the men.

Agree. On thread number 11 or 12 or whatever, for the first time there is a 'peace and love' from MNHQ saying it is wrong to speculate about someone's mental health. This follows a post about Harry's MH.

Yet, it's OK to call MM every name imaginable from a narcissist, damaged, dysfunctional ... and worse. No 'peace and love' posts when it's her being skewered

There really needs to be consistency.

It's infuriating, I've hidden them after reporting a couple of times. I can't understand why @mnhq are allowing these threads to continue. It's hardly in the spirit of the site is it?

The reason we haven't heard anything about Prince Andrew is because the FBI are investigating Epstein now, collating information etc. I'm not excusing the prince's behaviour but it is possible he has not knowingly done anything illegal, we'll have to wait and see.

There is absolutely no reason for Meghan to have been on the receiving end of such abuse, she's done nothing wrong for goodness sake. Except exist and breathe.

I'm not excusing the prince's behaviour but it is possible he has not knowingly done anything illegal, we'll have to wait and see.

Not knowing is completely irrelevant. The issue is a legal one - if he actually committed an offence, and a moral one - cavorting with teens of uncertain provenance.

Meghan also has not done anything illegal yet there are hundreds of stories about her.
