Piers Morgan has resigned.

[katierocket]

bet he's kicking himself!

At last!!!

the shiny white, very clean football shirt that the victim is wearing just didn't seem right to me considering he was supposed to have been tortured.

me and dh thought it was a women in shiny white shirt

Mixed feelings about this - at least he did the anti-war stance.

yeah, I know what you mean tinker but he really arsed up there didn't he. Has done more harm than good I think.

Agree with KR, good to have an anti war stance, but you cannot make up stuff, or as an editor, print stuff without the absolute assurance that it is correct.

We should all be able to read a newspaper or watch the news, without questioning whether it is real or not IMO.

And he has also placed the guys and women out there in more danger than they already were, and that, imp opinioon is unforgivable

I'd just love it if someone posted his address. After all, he has made celeb's lives hell by invading their privacy in the name of 'public interest'. Then all the families of those he has put at extra risk could making their feelings understood to him!

However he felt about the war, I get the stongest suspicion that this worm printed the photos to sell more papers. Blood money.

I love the stuff on the HIGNFY DVD about him - you should hear what Ian Hislop has to say about him! No love lost there!

HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
he'll be hosting HIGNFY very soon LOL
And in height of Iraqi summer, no sweat despite heavy beatings?
Never for one minute though they were real
HOWEVER they could be legitimate "depictions" possibly, caution advised... not to say its never happened

message withdrawn

I agree. Most editors publish the odd story that turns out to be false, but to publish those pictures without absolute proof they were real was absolutely unforgiveable. Dp thinks they should shut the paper down (and we were both against the war in the first place).

SKY news says he was SACKED

MIRROR'S APOLOGY IN FULL

This is the apology in full from the board of the Daily Mirror:

The Daily Mirror published in good faith photographs which it absolutely believed were genuine images of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner.

However there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that these pictures are fakes and that the Daily Mirror has been the subject of a calculated and malicious hoax.

The Daily Mirror therefore apologises unreservedly for publishing the pictures and deeply regrets the reputational damage done to the QLR and the Army in Iraq.

The paper will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation.

The Board of Trinity Mirror has decided that it would be inappropriate for Piers Morgan to continue in his role as Editor of the Daily Mirror and he will therefore be stepping down with immediate effect.

Des Kelly, Deputy Editor, will assume the role of acting Editor.

well those pictures were as real as the weapons of mass destruction the war was meant to put a stop to...

teflon tony hasn't got the sack thought has he?

Sq, LOL "Teflon Tony"
As for Piers Morgan, I have absolutely no sympathy for him whatsoever.
