So Piers Morgan has huffed off.

OP posts:

@StoneofDestiny

She was very shouty!

Yes Sparkling - she was. She had to shout to get him to shut up - she then said to him "now you can speak* 😂😂

Yes, it was all a bit much.
longwayoff · 09/03/2021 14:35

She was bloody magnificent, followed up by Trisha Goddard who also told him what he is. Good for them.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 14:39

Yes, Trisha was great too.

What I don't understand is.... he rants and raves on Twitter how no Minister will come and be interviewed by him. He did a daily counting at one point.

But the reason they don't is... they cannot get a word in edgeways. He just bellows at them. There is no discussion. And the only way to get your point across is like Dr. Shola... which is shouting back at him.

He is just not professional

Yes there was a Labour minister recently who wanted to talk about something (cant remember what) and all he wanted to ask about was a tweet another Labour Minister had done about now being involved in the EU vaccine scheme.

Which as she kept on pointing out was nothing to do with her and didnt follow Labour policy and she wasnt going to say anything else on the matter.

lollipoprainbow · 09/03/2021 14:55

I can't believe he is allowed to get away with the vitriol he spouts about people especially Meghan and Harry it's outrageous.

This and I think she was on to talk about fire cladding - and she didnt get a chance to

GetOffYourHighHorse · 09/03/2021 15:08

'can't believe he is allowed to get away with the vitriol he spouts about people especially Meghan and Harry it's outrageous.'

He thinks he's Jeremy Paxman or Andrew Neil but he just seems so out of his depth. Doesn't let ministers answer questions and imo was grossly irresponsible with his 'we're all going to die!' At the start of the pandemic.

I do wonder why gmb don't have someone more intelligent on with a bit of charm. He just sneers constantly.

Though I have to disagree with the supportive comments about Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, she equally shouts mocks and sneers.

Dan walker on BBC1 is interesting and pleasant.

Zevia · 09/03/2021 15:08

His hatred of, and obsession with, MM is just so profoundly creepy. He's completely unfit for his job and its shocking that he's allowed to carry on in it.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 15:10

I think the Government and the Opposition should make official statements that they will not be on the programme if Morgan is doing the interview.

This is how it goes...
PM asks a question
Interviewee says about 6 words as they start to answer
PM shouts over them
Interviewee tries to answer the question
PM fires countless q's at them which they can't answer because he won't stop
Interviewee again tries to speak
PM says words to the effect... I knew you wouldn't answer my question because you are wrong

End of interview

itsgettingwierd · 09/03/2021 16:36

Skoda Alex didn't mention that. He said he's allowing his opinion of Meghan to cloud his judgement and not listen to what she's saying.

Even Dr H said he shouldn't think wealth is an indicator or driver of MH.

He was pulled up on everyone for dismissing what she says as untrue without evidence either way.

itsgettingwierd · 09/03/2021 16:38

@StoneofDestiny

Alex Beresford showed up Morgan for what he is - an unbalanced tabloid journalist, capable only of shouting at, shouting down and berating guests. Only Morgan's views matter to Morgan.

Alex was invited on to give his views - as soon as he began to speak Morgan stomped off! Alex was right to point out that Morgan, as ever, had been giving a highly personalised view of Meghan Markle based on his own limited experience of her. Morgan has articulated that view in print and in TV. When it was presented back to him by Alex, he flipped and stormed off - refusing to allow the subject to be discussed further.

Well done Alex - respect! To see the mighty Morgan sulk and throw his toys out his prom was great to watch. Despite that, Alex was quietly spoken, balanced in the presentation of his views and unshaken by the Morgan tantrum.

Great stuff.

Yes! Exactly this.
itsgettingwierd · 09/03/2021 16:48

I wonder if it's because he was convinced he'd get an invite to wedding? I'm sure I remembered this?

Am I remember wrong right? 🤣

itsgettingwierd · 09/03/2021 16:53

@Janegrey333

Piers often speaks the truth. Annoyingly. Credit where it’s due.

The weather person had no business to pipe up; he should stick to forecasting the weather accurately - if possible.

Everyone deserves a voice.

Doesn't matter who you are or what you do.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 17:00

PM has tweeted gloating that yesterday had their highest ever viewing figures. I watched clips of it to see him getting torn a new one by Dr Shola and Trisha and am sure others did too, but would never watch it ordinarily. I don't understand people who do: they're the ones who give this c**t a platform.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 17:13

He's blocked me on Twitter lol

And I am not sure that I have directly addressed him lately. But I did call someone out who said that Alex should just do the weather and shouldn't have opinions.

I replied asking if that meant Piers can shout, bully and bellow at anyone but Alex cannot give a polite opinion.

300 likes and counting Grin

StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 17:18

Alex was invited on to give his opinions.
Wow - surprise, surprise, he gave his opinions.

And gave Morgan his arse on a plate 👏👏

SmallPrawnEnergy · 09/03/2021 18:30

Ahaahahhaha I hope the walking vat of mayonnaise never gets to work again.

weleasewoderick23 · 09/03/2021 18:31

He's just quit. Yay!

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 18:31

He's resigned.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 18:33

Great News!
That idiot can just go and think about the impact his words have on people, especially those struggling with awful thoughts.

Onetraumaatatimeplease · 09/03/2021 18:35

Meghan was always going to fuck Morgan off though given that she was about to marry a prince. And not any old prince, she picked one that actively hates the press. Even if he didn't show her how to curtsy, he was always going to give her the 411 on the shady British tabloid press.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 09/03/2021 18:38

Brilliant news. Be interesting to see ministers actually interviewed on gmb now rather than shrieked at. Maybe they'll bring Eamonn back Grin.

OMG no. Not him-please!

Maybe Dr Hilary could step in then 🥰
