Piers Morgan's response to Clarkson's comments

[cakeorwine]

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.

😂

His family are from Ireland (where I am) and his maternal aunt (RIP) was my mothers best friend since childhood. You never met such a beautiful woman in every way, smart, kind, dignified. I often think of how differently he has lived his life and how much pain he has caused..

Still rolling on. Never ending saga

JC has written a nasty article about MM on 23 September in The Sun.
Camilla and KP would have been aware of this.

Piers Morgan is one of the cuntiest cunts ever to walk the earth. Surely no one is surprised by his response?

A bit of humour? Countless comedians have spoken publicly and said it was not funny in the slightest and you are saying it was a bit of humour? What a twisted mind some people have

Some people, like Piers, seem to find it near impossible to condemn something they know is wrong when it's aimed at someone they don't like. It makes them feel weak or something, like they suddenly approve of the 'enemy'.

Some people don't realise that you can have two parallel thoughts about the same person.

The man has a really unhealthy obsession with her. Ghosting him obviously made him furious

I remember when he said that Meghan was everything a man would want. He said she was beautiful, smart and would be an asset to the RF.
His attitude towards her changed when he didn’t get an invite to the wedding and she distanced herself from him , probably on the advice of KP.
He is poisonous

So sad

Quite. Personally speaking 'our' Royal Family have completely lost me now as it is quite clear they condone all of this. That was apparent when Camilla attended her lunch date with Clarkson and Morgan, and the RF's subsequent failure to condemn this spewing of hate against their own family member. And Camilla claims to oppose violence against women? I have no sympathy with the RF and no interest in their being protected, I hope Harry & Meghan do their worst.

Here we have a major UK news outlet with a large readership, which published a dangerous article like this directly threatening a woman with violence. At a time hate crimes are on the rise. And our Head of State and his family have nothing to say about it, it is left to other complainants including thousands to Ipso, several MPs, the Mayor of London and even Clarkson's own daughter to make a stand.

I am genuinely scared for the safety of women (particularly black women) in the UK. We have individuals within the media directly endangering them through articles like this, and an establishment institution (the Royal Family) seen to be condoning this threat. That makes them complicit and potentially responsible for any consequences.

i can't believe anyone could defend these vile men.
at a time when women are so unsafe.

the person before me put it better than I can.

The way he tells it, she approached him and arranged to meet up to increase her profile. Then dropped him completely when she moved into higher circles.

PM has written a few rabid articles, (and he just doesn’t stop after one or two), about various people that he thinks have slighted him in any way, not just Markle.

That said I don't think this situation is anything to do with 'sexual rage' . He has been with his very attractive wife years,

I don't know if there's sexual rage or not but you say this as if men who cheat on their wives all have ugly wives. His wife being attractive, as you say, doesn't determine if there's sexual rage or not, and wouldn't affect it if there's one.

Never said it was edited, but taking one tweet in isolation and then declaring that as the person’s full view is selective? He has said, in a video he tweet prior to this tweet, that he feels JC shouldn’t have included it in his piece. Yet we have people on this thread seeming to claim he’s defending what JC said, agreeing with it or otherwise putting words he didn’t say in his mouth. It’s a little bit hypocritical in the scheme of the larger discussion.

@AlexaM86 what point are you making? Are we misunderstanding PM? Did he say Clarksons article was vile and reprehensible? I’m not on Twitter and I haven’t seen any tweets apart from the one posted here.

I admit I don’t follow PM and thought he was being a friend of Clarkson. It turns out he hacked his phone to publish about Clarkson’s extra-marital affair. I don’t know if they’ve patched it up since then or continue to be bellends independent of each other.

YABU for having expected an intelligent response from a middle aged bully. He’s a pathetic man, desperate to stay relevant in a world that is slowly moving away from tolerating men like him.

@LadyWithLapdog Point I’m making is taking one tweet in isolation and attacking the person who made it for what it doesn’t include, sometimes in very personal ways, isn’t a great look.

He said “I didn’t think he should’ve put that in the column, for my personal view” yet he’s being attacked by some PP as if he said it himself.

I think Piers Morgan's point is valid to be fair, he's just pointing out the hypocrisy of people having a go at Clarkson whilst turning a blind eye to Meghan/Harry. Clarkson's piece was just a bit of humour whilst Meghan/Harry's behaviour is much more damaging and spiteful.

I'll try to be polite; that's is an unmitigated pile of steaming bollocks.

Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan are in your face arseholes, it's how they attempt to stay relevant. Whereas Meghan Markle is more subtle in her nastiness. The trailer with a single shot of Kate where she's appearing to scowl into the camera, MM comments about how she's the huggy hippy and Kate is basically a cold fish and it was a big ole shock to poor innocent little Meghan how mean ole Kate behaved.

MM is a social climber, she thought she'd hit the top of the ladder by marrying a prince - then she found that she and Harry were second fiddle to Kate and William and she will now do anything to make the pair of them look bad. She seems to have also recruited Harry into it with all the things he's now saying about William shouting at him and that he was 'terrified'.

MM is definitely not Rose West any comparison like that is completely insane. It wouldn't surprise me if she was a narcissist but she definitely isn't a serial killer. Saying she should parade around naked while having things thrown at her is weird and childish - but that's just typical of both JC and PM IMO.

Oh get a bloody grip. Every single woman who has married a Prince must be a “social climber” unless they’re a princess themselves. The Palace, institution, or whatever you want to call it, turned on Meghan and Harry when they were getting better press than William and Kate. Instead of seeing them as the assets that they were they lit the torch paper, poured fuel on the fire and watched it burn.

If Charles or William had anything about them they’d have put a statement out at the weekend condemning this article. I’d have actually liked to see Kate stand up against it. She won’t though, and they won’t let her, because they can’t risk her getting any negative press. It’s much easier to let her just smile and shake hands.

I’m utterly disgusted at the lack of response from anyone in the RF and think it’s done then far more damage than anything Harry and Meghan said on Netflix.

Do you have a link?

TheFairyCaravan it’s not up to them to defend someone they neither like and has a vendetta against them. Clarkson is a vile person but they are not responsible for him. Awful things were said about Camilla which they ignored at the time and it worked.

Do you honestly think the RF think by not commenting they are helping H &
M? Seriously!
