I am glad, I think this was the right decision and I didn't agree with his comments.

Mental health is a huge issue and I think he took it too far.

@MrsTulipTattsyrup

I’m sure it was all staged to get some publicity. I fully expect him to announce tomorrow that he’s joining Andrew Neil’s vile parade of right-wing twats on his new news channel.
This is my suspicion, or something of that ilk

I'm sure Britain's floater will resurface soon enough, but any accountability is absolutely welcomed.

MyLittleOrangutan · 09/03/2021 20:22

Good riddance. He's fucking vile.

SeldomFollowedIt · 09/03/2021 20:37

Oh god, I don’t think I can tune in now.

Ben Shephard? 💤

DrDreReturns · 09/03/2021 20:38

I've always thought he is a twat. I can't believe he's still got a media career after he published those fake photos of British soldiers urinating on prisoners.

SmokedDuck · 09/03/2021 20:39

I'm not convinced MM was being honest, but Piers was still an unbalanced twat about her, and a terrible interviewer.

In relation to the suicide comment? Surely not.

@LakieLady

Shame he hasn't left Britain full stop imo.

I've seen him in a pub near me a couple of times. His mere presence put me right off my lunch, and it was a struggle not to walk over and tip my pint over his stupid smug head.

Why on Earth would you assault him?

Tipping a pint over someone's head would be just that. How bizarre.

Advic3Pl3as3 · 09/03/2021 20:54

Accusing people with mental health problems as “attention seeking” is SO unhelpful.

ALL behaviour is attention seeking to a degree - why do babies cry? Because they are seeking attention for an unmet need.

All ‘challenging’ behaviours demonstrate a need for one or more of...
• Social attention
• Tangibles – basic needs (too hot, too cold, hungry etc)
• Escape
• Sensory (too little or too much)

It’s so obvious when you actually think about it. Asking for attention is somehow seen as a bad thing, but it’s actually a basic need.

SeldomFollowedIt · 09/03/2021 21:17

@Advic3Pl3as3

Doesn’t matter how much attention some people get, it is never enough. You can’t fill some people up and they will drain the living soul out of you.

Emeraldshamrock · 09/03/2021 21:34

I don't know how he kept his job when decent presenters were available.
Happy for Michael Underwood reinventing his career such a nice guy, far nicer than Piers whinging Morgan.

museumsandgalleries666 · 09/03/2021 21:43

I don't think he resigned, itv probably 'let him go' and allowed him to 'resign' to save face. He's a toxic bully, won't be missed.

OhWhyNot · 09/03/2021 21:43

Fantastic news

I posted yesterday I hope there is a backlash against him. Didn’t think it would be quite so quickly he just proved how nasty he is he just couldn’t contain his anger and spiteful feelings against Megan

Now doubt he shall have a job lined up on LBC

HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 22:34

He still has a job on the Daily Hate

RootyT00t · 10/03/2021 09:35

@HmmmmmmInteresting

Course he does.

The DM don't give a shit.

Onebigdream · 10/03/2021 09:42

I can’t stand him. Incessantly toxic about MM and I wish he’d disappear off all forms of media and coms.

CityCommuter · 10/03/2021 10:12

I've quite liked Piers at times but I've thought for a while that he needs to drop the Meghan topic obsession that he has and move on...

I saw a YouTube clip of him talking about Meghan on an Irish TV chat show called the Late Late which explains a lot! Google it if you're interested as link won't post...

Basically he was snubbed after having a great time drinking cocktails with her in a bar, he put her in a cab to go to a party and she actually met Harry that very same night! Straight afterwards she 'ghosted' him (Piers own words btw) and he didn't like it as he said he really liked her...

CityCommuter · 10/03/2021 10:14

This might work!

He actually says 'Meghan Markle ghosted me. This is why it hurts'

Psychotic stalker weirdo

prawntoastie · 10/03/2021 10:31

He's been harassing Megan because she ghosted him on a date years ago and got with Harry.
He's so weird and bitter. Who's going to pick piers over Harry lol

OlympicProcrastinator · 10/03/2021 11:27

I don’t think he should have left for airing views. I don’t think we should live in a society where view that differ from our own should be silenced. I think it’s ok for him to say that he does not personally believe she is being truthful whether that’s about her mental health or the Royal Family. Unless the views expressed are extreme hate or total falsehood, or as in the case of PP it is inconsistent with your profession (Dr telling a patient she is attention seeking) I detest cancel culture. I want all views to be expressed and then challenged robustly in a calm and civil way.

I do however think he should go because what Piers did went way beyond that. I had to switch off because I couldn’t hear anyone else’s point of view. His was the only view, shouted out by him over and over again, interrupting everyone else and he was overly emotionally invested. It became uncomfortable to watch, his behaviour seemed obsessive and deranged. That’s not debate. That’s not conversation.

He looks like he needs help.
