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

Hi Piers,

Which celeb would you most like to find out has been doing something norty, so that you could publish a shocking expose on their behaviour?

I don't want to shag you btw, you're quite safe with me

bakedpotatooooowoooh · 10/10/2006 12:29

Hello Piers.
Do you get a flicker of anxiety about bumping into people you've hacked off? There must be so many of them, all longing for your downfall. I wonder how it feels when you're out and you sense someone looking daggers at you and, oh hello, it's an old much-ridiculed enemy. Like Cherie.

What do you feel about advertising aimed at children? especially junk food ads. should it be banned,

niceglasses · 10/10/2006 12:31

Piers, tell us about Gordon. Feed my addiction. I worry about him, but so want him to succeed.

Enid · 10/10/2006 12:31

(but sorry you SO are a ginger)

CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou · 10/10/2006 12:31

Piers, most importantly, can you type faster than Dave Cameron?

RTKangaMummy · 10/10/2006 12:32

Enid what is "a ginger??????"

soapbox · 10/10/2006 12:32

Cummon matey! You're a bit slow!

Haven't you got a spare secretary or two to type for you?

TwigTwoolett · 10/10/2006 12:32

hey enid .. d'ya reckon he knows better than you whether he's a ginger or not?

ginmummy · 10/10/2006 12:33

There's nothing wrong with being ginger - men with red hair are very sexy!

You're perfectly safe with me Piers, you're married. Are you married? If you're not, hello there!

oh ffs ... Justine give him some booze .. he's thinking too much ..

edam · 10/10/2006 12:33

Either he's a slow typist or he's pondering our questions very deeply...

And he's so not ginger, have seen him IRL.

PiersMorgan · 10/10/2006 12:33

Dear roison,

Glad your boys like First News. It is aimed at 7-14 year olds, but all three of my sons - Spencer, 13, Stanley, 9 and Bertie, 5 - love it. I think there is something in it for everyone. Other children's newspapers failed because they were too serious, worthy, and patronising to kids. We are a lively fun tabloid format paper that has the tone of Newsround, but is a bit more entertaining. We aim to inform, educate, fascinate and amuse. Which is, I think, why kids, parents and teachers ALL think we're 'cool.'

JessaJackOLantern · 10/10/2006 12:33

Will baying make it any quicker???

WelshBorisKarloff · 10/10/2006 12:34

stanley and bertie?

really?

ClarissasMerrylegs · 10/10/2006 12:34

Hi Piers

What scandal do you think lurks in old David Cam 'too good to be true boyish looks's wardrobe?

BettyBatShapedSpaghetti · 10/10/2006 12:35

Thought you'd all scared him off and he'd done a runner for a while there

slug · 10/10/2006 12:35

So are you going to educate girls that they don't have to get their tits out for the lads or be anexoric clothes horses to be valuable members of society?

MacabreMe23 · 10/10/2006 12:35

piers my partner is currently doing a BA in journalism and history, do you have any advice on him starting a career in journailism? he is particulary interested in investigative.
Thanks.

RTKangaMummy · 10/10/2006 12:35

Piers do your boys go to private school?

What school did you go to?

TwigTwoolett · 10/10/2006 12:35
