To be disappointed my lockdown mornings have been ruined?

So before anybody gets on there free speech high horse or takes this indepth with the whole Meghan Markle debaucle this is not what this is about so please refrain yourselves. I merely am soooo devestated that Piers will no longer be on the go in the mornings to entertain me with his carry-ons. It was the only reason I watched GMB. I am now tuned into boring Breakfast tv. I will never watch GMB again. It really took me away from the monotony of this lockdown and gave me a bit of excitement in my life. AIBU? Probaby but we all need something to keep us going!! I cant be the only one surely?? Free Piers Morgan!!!

YABU. You know you don’t HAVE to watch telly in the morning, right? And the idea that Piers Morgan was responsible for the only excitement in your life is so utterly depressing.
You’re probably going to come back and say this was “lighthearted” now, aren’t you? But Piers Morgan is a bully.

Snoozysnoozy · 10/03/2021 07:34

Fuck Piers Morgan, man is a cunt. You are right though and now GMB well be incredibly boring and ratings will fall.

Jamesnesbittsbits · 10/03/2021 07:38

Is this a reverse?

BRB2021 · 10/03/2021 07:43

A reverse @Jamesnesbitsbits? Do you mean you think @letitgo123 IS Piers Morgan?

00100001 · 10/03/2021 07:44

LOL

Waxonwaxoff0 · 10/03/2021 07:45

Are you Piers?

ZaraW · 10/03/2021 07:47

If Piers Morgan brings excitement to your life then you are beyond help. There's nothing worse than angry, middle aged, right wing males.

TheJerkStore · 10/03/2021 07:47

Piers Morgan is a misogynistic bully. I've never understood how any woman can bring themselves to watch him. He's a disgrace.

PrelovedWithValue · 10/03/2021 07:47

Nah, op isn't Piers.

Op is clearly Mrs Morgan, devastated that he'll be home with her in the mornings instead of at a safe distance...

DinoHat · 10/03/2021 07:50

Is it really that surprising that someone liked Piers - why else would he be on telly?

winniesanderson · 10/03/2021 07:51

It'll be nice for his co presenter to finally get a word in though won't it. I don't normally watch it to be fair but on the few occasions I've caught clips etc, all I've seen is a man completely enamoured with his own voice and opinions.

hollyandkit · 10/03/2021 07:54

Their ratings will go into freefall now he's gone.

FrostyChocolateMilkshake · 10/03/2021 07:56

Oh hey Piers

Poorlykitten · 10/03/2021 07:57

Because he was controversial and pulling in the viewing figures? That’s not necessarily being liked though and doesn’t mean he’s a decent human being because he’s not. Vile man.

Reinventinganna · 10/03/2021 07:57

Read the daily fail instead, same thing.

MarieFromStTropez · 10/03/2021 07:57

I agree with you OP. I only started watching GMB in December but looked forward to Piers and Susannah every morning. I don’t know his history as I didn’t know who he was before.

He did have some strong opinions but most were completely common sense. As I said, I don’t know what he’s done in the past, but he was great on GMB.

Timeisavirtue · 10/03/2021 07:59

Feel like you need your head in check if your morning is ruined by not seeing piers. I don’t even like Meghan myself but the guy has had it out for her since the day her and Harry started dating. He has an obsession. He’s made his career out of making people feel small and I’m all for truth telling but he manipulates people on tv for money. Not sure I’ll ever miss that dickwad!

StroppyPoppy21 · 10/03/2021 08:01

He is incredibly popular and is no doubt being courted by Talk Radio & LBC.

He's repulsive but some women love him because they hate women too.

5zeds · 10/03/2021 08:08

Breakfast and a paper will be much nicer. I don’t know much about him to be honest but I’d hate pompous annoying opinion first thing.

Goingferalonfurlough · 10/03/2021 08:10

I liked him too. He was really good over the whole pandemic asking the questions that needed asking and not letting the MPs wriggle out of answering.

goingtotown · 10/03/2021 08:15

He kept Matt Hancock on his toes.

CantBeAssed · 10/03/2021 08:16

I will miss him to...he was dam good at his job.....one of the very few people left that isnt afraid to open his mouth and voice his opinion....freedom of speech is only acceptable when we say what some people want to hear!

I think the truth is Piers Morgan's 5 year contract had come to an end, and he has left GMB to change to a different channel that would offer him more money. I'm hoping he'll start a breakfast programme on Sky News :)

'Entertain me with his carry - ons'? that's how you describe a sustained campaign of public bullying is it? a form of entertainment?

I bet you mourn the loss of Jeremy Kyle as well.

You think you're being funny and edgy OP, but your comments are merely offensive and dim.

Sky wouldn't take him.
