Well, more the discussions on his YouTube channel, I watch them most nights. I seem to pretty much agree with most things he says and don’t think he’s that bad. I realise most people (I think) don’t feel like this, is there something wrong with me? When I told my mum, she said ‘Eww, he’s awful, I hate his voice’ 😬

Anyone else find the YouTube channel discussions interesting? I’m quite addicted

I like him and agree with much of what he says, but I doubt many people on here will agree with you @Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow

Yay, someone else 👏

I think back in the day, I wasn’t so keen, but he just has mainly measured, sensible viewpoints, I don’t get the hate

he is flacid.... grey.....arrogant.......a bully.......quite revolting..... if he was a ordinary guy down the pub he would be the local creep... in fact he is a creep..... i wish there was a swarm of electronic bees near him....... lol

ItGhoul · 24/05/2025 23:20

I’ve met him a number of times and my partner used to work with him. He’s a cunt.

micantspelljack · 24/05/2025 23:21

im aware you may not know what i mean about the electronic bees lol

PeapodMcgee · 24/05/2025 23:21

Erm, climate change denial, his weird hate / obsession from being spurned by Megan Markle, phone hacking scandal etc etc

But I do agree with some of his opinions.

WiganWheel · 24/05/2025 23:21

He’s a massive liar. A criminal. A con artist. Cover up companion. Not that bad?! Blow me……..

It's because he's a bit right of centre. That's the only reason 'some' people loathe him. He's not left wing, he's not PC, he hates 'wokery,' he doesn't play by the rules, he doesn't give a shit about saying the 'right thing,' and some people can't handle that. See also: Jeremy Clarkson. I like him too! 😆

Black Mirror?! Wink

Op? Is that you: Piers?

Dillydollydingdong · 24/05/2025 23:24

I stopped watching morning television when he left. It's boring now without all his sensible opinions .

I agree. I like Susannah Reid, (and I weirdly quite like watching Richard Madeley with her, and Rob Rinder,) but I miss Piers on Good Morning Britain!

WiganWheel · 24/05/2025 23:28

I really don’t get why some of you on here have no morals and listen to a cunt who is a bully, and has a hell of A LOT to hide. Sensible arguments? Oh please.

MiloMinderbinder925 · 24/05/2025 23:29

I have mixed views. He comes across as a misogynist and has ill thought out opinions such as telling people with mental health problems to "man up." He was involved in the hacking scandal while at the Mirror and is obnoxious.

However, I think he's a good interviewer and he's not afraid of speaking out eg trans issues.

PuppyDay · 24/05/2025 23:33

He oversaw the hacking scandal that hacked the phones of bereaved families like Millie Dowler’s then having listened to their private messages used them to sell papers.

He may have good or bad opinions but I don’t know as I don’t listen to him. I don’t want to know what a man who did that thinks of others. I would prefer to get my commentary from a man who didn’t put profit above the most basic of morals.

No, it's because he's a bully.

budgiegirl · 24/05/2025 23:46

He's a nasty bully, and it makes me despair that anyone could find him in anyway entertaining to watch. Same goes for Jeremy Clarkson. How have we sunk so low as to continue to allow bullies like these to grace our screens?

Cecilly · 25/05/2025 00:00

He’s very arrogant and full of himself. I don’t like him. But I also don’t like that style of really loud, pushy “gotcha” interviews. It puts me off.

Jeremy is not so bad on his farm series.

I wish he wasn’t so foul-mouthed but other than that he isn’t too bad.

Maybe I worked adjacent to your partner! Agreed, yet he's not a bad journalist and I think he does some things well. I have watched some of his videos.

There are also quite a lot of videos where he blatantly sets out to bully some hapless fool, sometimes really uncomfortable to watch. I am rarely on the side of the hapless fool, but it's possible to show someone up without reducing them to whimpering jelly.
