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

Fake photos, phone hacking, insider trading, hypocrisy on so many of his "opinions", and being an immoral, arrogant wanker who'll twist any way the wind is blowing if it suits his agenda.

I can only imagine what else he got up to at the Mirror that's been swept under the carpet.

BerryCakewell · 25/05/2025 14:04

Ah yes, his ‘sensible’ opinions. Like the time he ridiculed Lady Gaga for having PTSD after being raped…

cantthinkofausername26 · 25/05/2025 14:08

I like him but sometimes find him really biased in interviews. For example the Chris eubank jnr and Conor benn interview… he was clearly team Benn and that irritated me!

Only people in the army can get PTSD according to him. 🙄

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.

This. You saved me from typing it out

Sevenamcoffee · 25/05/2025 17:04

He gives of that stink of arrogance and entitlement. I don’t like people like that. No apparent ability to self-reflect. Having said that, there are worse ones than him.

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.

Edited

How do you know though?

Tagyoureit · 25/05/2025 17:13

He's a twat, we all know that but there some points during covid that I actually agreed with him.

However, his mad, obsessive hatred over Meghan Markle is just ridiculous and weird and I'm not even a fan of hers.

It's one thing he and Clarkson have in common, that deranged hatred of MM. Well, that and their mutual friend Camilla of course.

Yeah it's just not right. Clarkson's reaction to MM was so bizarre, something about sleepless nights thinking about her, can't remember the details but jeez, grow up!

He wanted to see her naked and pelted with shit.

Well that's really not normal is it?? 😱

keffie12 · 25/05/2025 18:31

@TowishiknewthenwhatiknownowHmm you never knew about his involvement as editor with the telephone hacking. The telephone hacking that nearly got Millie Dowler dad arrested for murder because of their evil crooked greedy ways. Then there was the posting of the photoshopped pictures of our soldiers abusing Iraq POW. Oh and the years of vitriol, abuse, bullying and lies, over Harry and Meghan because Meghan shunned his advances. Not that bad I'll take it that you didn't know about this then. Anyone who can do this isn't worth my time

He's a delight.

SerafinasGoose · 25/05/2025 19:13

His affected manner of speaking, with the rising intonation at the end of every sentence, sets my teeth on edge. He’s an irritant and has let his mask drop on quite a number of occasions to reveal a nasty bully behind it.

Not impressed.

I stumbled across a TV programme recently - "Killer Women with Piers Morgan". After a watching a few minutes it was sadly not what I had hoped for.

Yes, I remember that! As I recollect, he also made a big show of deigning to have a conversation with her so she could challenge his opinion - no regard for the impact that might have on her.

Ahwig · 26/05/2025 18:51

About 10 years ago my husband told one of his colleagues that I absolutely think Piers Morgan was hot and very fit. They looked at him like he’d gone nuts and said “ really, are you sure she likes Piers Morgan?” “ Yes” he said “ she thinks he’s fab as James Bond” “ Ah” said one of the colleagues “ could it be Piers Brosnan that she likes. Indeed it is 😂

Megan Markle shunned his advances? I didn’t know about this..tell me more!

FrenchFancie · 27/05/2025 13:01

I’ve met him IRL and know a close family member of his.

have to say I found him repugnant - he will say anything he wants if he thinks it will keep him relevant/ popular. Got as much actual backbone as a jellyfish.
