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

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.

This.

What @PuppyDay said. Also I have met him a few times due to a weird association with his wife. Just confirmed what I thought, he is not a nice person. He has no integrity, has never been a serious journalist, spits bile and basically is just all about Piers. As a country we really need to stop being held in thrall of these entitled, not particularly bright wankers.

What is it about people idolising total bully arseholes now? We used to admire gentler qualities in people, now we only want to watch aggressive, opinionated dick heads!

JustSawJohnny · 25/05/2025 00:35

Morgan is arrogance personified.

I cannot imagine being married to a man like that. He'd be under the patio in minutes.

ExercicenformedeZ · 25/05/2025 00:40

YABVU. He's vile, as if a square sausage were a person.

You leave square sausage out of this! 😂

Beingmeisnice · 25/05/2025 00:50

He never gives anyone the chance to finish what they are saying he just butts in.
Tbh he never lets anyone speak.
He`s so rude i use to watch gmtv in the mornings but he just pissed me off so gave up watching it.
Then the time he stormed off the set because no one was going to keep taking his crap.
I dont hate him hes just not important enough to watch.
Him and jeremy kyle are the same both huge bullies.

PyongyangKipperbang · 25/05/2025 01:21

Ironic that people are likening him to Jeremy Clarkson, who famously punched Morgan in the gob! He hates him more than most!

JC has long admitted that his boorish image from Top Gear was an act. He was the "mans man". James May was the "boring man" and Richard Hammond was the"excitable young man". They all played their parts to appeal to the widest audience possible, and it cant be denied that it worked.

I never had a big issue with JC, loved Top Gear etc but my opinion of him really did change with Clarksons Farm. Yes he plays it up to the camera, as does Caleb, but there are several moments that you can see are genuine. When his infertile sheep when to the abatoir and had been killed before he could say goodbye was particularly moving. That wasnt acting.

Phone hacking in order to get a scoop about a missing child - for the papers it's just an opportunity to make money

I mean, the phone hacking of grown adults is bad enough on its own for me, but maybe not for you @Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow

Hi Piers

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 25/05/2025 01:36

I like Clarkson. Piers Morgan is a cunt though. Nothing to do with being anti-woke (I mean, who fucking isn't these days?), I probably agree and disagree with his opinions in equal measure. It's that he's a gobshite hack with little intelligence and no integrity.

CalicoPusscat · 25/05/2025 01:44

Well, the thread title isn't words I often hear.

I did like his book The Insider as it talks about figures in the news from when I was a child, Princess Di, Jordan, Blair, Brown, Spice Girls etc. He talks about the war photos and insider trading in that book.

I don't watch him on tv. He did appear to have a crush on MM and was bitter she shut him out.

This is exactly why I won't watch him either. How low he goes to get a good story is disgusting.

Comtesse · 25/05/2025 08:39

Self righteous, self important and conceited would be more like it.

luckylavender · 25/05/2025 08:46

Nasty egotistical bully. Read up on why he got sacked from the Daily Mirror. Very clever in how he positions himself as normal. Quite Farage like.

I prefer Morgan to Clarkson. That’s how low down Clarkson is to me.

ProtectTransRights · 25/05/2025 08:48

He's a cretin. An absolute smug idiot

mustytrusty · 25/05/2025 08:52

Do you know his history in terms of his journalistic career OP? He should be in prison really. He's Teflon for some reason and it's remarkable that he's still allowed in mainstream media. There must be some families who are hurt by his regular presence on TV screens.

I couldn't agree more with this last sentence!

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! 😆

Edited

Some of us don’t like him because we’ve worked with him and seen how he treats people.

I doubt you would like him either if you had done so. Quite the opposite.

Lampzade · 25/05/2025 09:04

Piers chooses to be a vile, vain , narcissistic bully .
A person who lacks morals
Any valid points he makes on any topic does not detract from the fact that he isn’t a good person

neverbeenskiing · 25/05/2025 09:13

I wouldn't spit on Piers Morgan if he was on fire.

He is a spineless, morally bankrupt, talentless waste of skin who represents everything that's wrong with the British media.

Good god- it’s not that some of us can’t handle him not saying ‘ the right thing ‘ ! It’s because we think the things he says are stupid, thoughtless, uninformed and ignorant. Also JC who thinks he’s some sort of brave, rule breaking truth teller. They are actually just bitter old men who used to be on top but now cry all the time because they are expected to not tantrum about anything they don’t like.
If your toddler behaved like JC or PM, they would be getting a firm chat about treating others as we want to be treated. Not lauded for being stroppy brats.

Back when I had to deal with him, and concluded that he was a total cunt, he wasn’t a TV personality and was still editor of the Mirror. I never even heard him express a political opinion. So no, it isn’t about him being right of centre.
