Hello all,
Piers Morgan, former Editor of the Daily Mirror and News of the World, and now Executive Editor of First News, a weekly newspaper aimed at 9-12 year olds, is coming to Mumsnet for an online chat on Tuesday 10th October at 12.30pm. So make sure you make a note in your diary to log on and post a question. If you can't make the actual event do post your question in advance here. Whilst he can't promise to answer every one he'll do what he can (and we reckon he should be able to type quite fast being a journo and all that).
Best,
MNHQ

loving your question Caligula

Dear niceglasses,

Gordon Brown takes politics seriously, and I like that. I've had enough of pop stars running the country and taking us into illegal wars. Gordon's very charming away from his job, too.

GhoulsToo - 'Did you threaten to overrule him?' was a question asked by Jeremy Paxman the then Tory Home Secretary Michael Howard on Newsnight with regards to Derek Lewis and prison reforms. He asked the question a recor 13 times and Howard never gave a straight answer, always sidestepping, which is what Piers is doing with Slug's question.

What do you want on your headstone?

Piers,
Did you know that a famous parenting guru has threatened to close Mumsnet and is still planning to sue us for alleged libel because of some comments made about her on our discussion boards. Do you have a view on the freedom of speech versus private reputations issue (particularly on the internet) and/ or any advice?

PiersMorgan · 10/10/2006 13:11

Dear moaningpaper,

I saw Alastair Campbell talking about depression on TV this morning and laughed. Sexing up the Iraq war dossier left a lot of poor innocent people in Iraq pretty depressed too, Alastair.

Dear Piers,

My husband does not have endless enthusiasm or patience,is crap at any sport, especially so at those which involve "taking wickets", "scoring goals" and "hitting a winning serve". Please explain why you feel he is not a good father for not having these qualities?

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:12

Yes, what Justine asked, please.

ScareyCaligulaCorday · 10/10/2006 13:12

ledodgywizardrobespierre · 10/10/2006 13:12

She's got labrynthitis and was feeling very rough this morning. Poor fish.

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:12

What do you think of David Hasselhoff's new single?

GhoulsToo · 10/10/2006 13:13

Piers - not to mention David Kelly

NOMurDErousPLUME · 10/10/2006 13:13

@ 'sexing up'

PiersMorgan · 10/10/2006 13:13

Dear slug,

First News is an equal opportunities paper, right down the line. We have as many girls reading us as boys, and take that very seriously to ensure they get as much girl-related stories/issues as the boys.

NOMurDErousPLUME · 10/10/2006 13:13

Is that it ?!

Tinker · 10/10/2006 13:13

She'll be shopping in M&S and listening to ABBA

GhoulsToo · 10/10/2006 13:13

omg mortified

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:13

What's a girl-related story or issue, Piers?
