Piers Morgan's response to Clarkson's comments

Is not to condemn them but instead to attack Meghan and Harry

"Imagine if all those screaming with rage about Jeremy Clarkson felt the same protective anger towards those who’ve branded our Royal Family callous lying racist bullies - without producing any actual evidence for these cruel allegations?"

What is his problem - does he not see an issue with Clarkson's comments and his column?

Classic whataboutery.

God, where to even start. Its appalling that he has a platform for his hectoring. Imagine being his sister/wife/daughter. Him and clarkson are diabolical. Sadly, they reflect the views of many, many other people. Its all thoroughly depressing. Even if they don't have a decent bone in their body, can they not just imagine someone behaving like this to their daughters. I don't understand the disconnect that goes on in their tiny little minds.

It's an obsession with him. Does he not see any issue with what Clarkson wrote?
He might not like Meghan, he might have an issue with what he perceives they have done to the RF but surely he must think that this is inappropriate.

Deflection from PM, in support of his bellend friend. Both scared of fading into irrelevance, so there’s still a bit of kicking and tantruming to do.

Weirdly I've noticed a dramatic drop in the number of threads about her on MN. I wonder why....

VivienneDelacroix · 20/12/2022 10:53

Clarkson and Morgan are the classic middle class white men who are having constant tantrums because they want to keep women and non-white people in their place. They fixate on people they don't know and obsess over pulling them down. They are now ganging up like the schoplboy bullies they are.

Palegreenstars · 20/12/2022 10:56

does he not think that Camila partying with Clarkson last week and then not releasing a statement condemning his obvious racism is all the evidence needed?

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/12/2022 10:56

Piers needs help. So does Jeremy.

cakeorwine · 20/12/2022 10:58

He seems very upset that people who are condeming Clarkson for calling for Meghan to be stripped naked and have shit thrown at her aren't also upset by what they have said about the Royal Family.

I'm no fan of either of these two schoolboys pretending to be men but I have to say PM does have something of a fair point that H&M have not really produced any tangible evidence to support their claims
Hand me arse please

That's not the point.

There is a big difference between what Clarkson said and what Harry and Meghan have done.

It is classic whataboutery.

Did you really expect anything else from the rabid twat?

LikeTearsInRain · 20/12/2022 11:12

Nasty nasty men. Who are these wives/partners of theirs who keep shagging them?

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/12/2022 11:14

Lady Susan Hussey was racist to a black guest at the Palace. She was a Lady-in-waiting assigned to help MM acclimatise to royal life. So there was/is racism in the Royal household.

newnamethanks · 20/12/2022 11:15

Years of expensive schooling went into producing these men and their good friends. Impressive isn't it? Buy yourself a holiday home and send your sons to the local comp instead. It's unlikely to result in worse.

cakeorwine · 20/12/2022 11:15

More from him.

"I wouldn’t, no. I’m not defending what Clarkson wrote, I’m just asking where the same anger is towards the lies/smears hurled at the Royal Family."

Can't he see the difference? Classic deflection

I don't think these guys realise their bias, that they see women and people of colour as lesser. They truly can't see the problem with what was said, as they don't understand the bias that gives rise to it.

SighsTheNewWord · 20/12/2022 11:17

I would've been more surprised if he'd condemned his fellow obnoxious boor.

Asking a person in African dress with an African name what part of Africa they are from = racist??

I wonder if he thought about condemning it.

It's not difficult. No but what about. Just a simple condemnation.

But I guess that's too difficult for him

What a ridiculous assertion. What sort of evidence do you expect?
Do you think that I recordings of people who called me a paki?
Do you think that people play out their racism in explicit emails?
No, in those circles, it is verbal or implicit, said in undertones

Telling a British women who has confirmed she is British that she is actually Caribbean = racist

Not believing an white woman when she admits she was racist = incredibly racist

LadyWithLapdog · 20/12/2022 11:21

@Usou is this your first time on MN or on this topic? I will assume you’re not just shit posting, so I can tell you it has been discussed extensively and you can read up on it.

cstaff · 20/12/2022 11:22

For some strange reason when I was reading about Jeremy Clarkson last night piers Morgan and his antics came into my head. Can't imagine why. What a pair of clowns.

cakeorwine · 20/12/2022 11:23

I don't understand the hate - and it is hate - that he has for her.

My clothing is largely influence by American culture. I’m not American and if I told someone twice I wasn’t I’d find it incredibly rude if they persisted in asking me where in America I was from.

but to answer your question it is what Harry referred too as the unconscious bias at very best.
