Piers Morgan

It's a bit 'eye for an eye' for me... You've caused us hurt so we want to cause as much hurt as possible back... Genuinely, in my experience, that resolves very little...


Anyway, back on thread, Piers Morgan is well gone from our screens...

He’s not gone, the odious individual will be back in one way or another, sadly.

Because if you listened when watching the interview you’d of understood some of the issues/pressures they both believed they were facing couldn’t be fixed by some random Counsellor or any amount of money.

Again, you are making comments out of context. My point was to another poster regarding his suggestion Harry could have got her help through his contacts. Why didn't you take your point up with him when he posted it.
Also, why do you use the word s 'Random Councillor' are there not specialist councillors who deal with people who have suicidal tendencies and I doubt if Harry or Meghan are incapable of being helped.

Because I gave you too much credit when thinking you were better than your comment.

I have no interest in engaging with CF and his ramblings.

Counsellor’s are not miracle workers and again I’d suggest you didn’t listen to some of the issues they mentioned.

This is going around in circles, I won't bother trying to discuss it further with you as you are making too many irrational comments.

GMB (finally)beat the Beeb's Breakfast Show figures on Morgan's last day... but was the increase down to people wanting a ghoulish view of a car crash? Have they beat them since? The freedom of speech and "honestly held opinion" Morgan spoke about is very valid. He is entitled to those views, and no doubt many share them. Their choice too.

Where's the evidence to support Morgan's opinion? He may well be right but, equally, bearing in mind what Meghan said about suicide, he was wrong to express those opinions publicly.

And that is the responsibility that comes with Freedom of Speech. Use it wisely or lose it. If every media outlet regularly published/broadcasts irresponsible pieces, the freedom the media has would be curtailed. That would be sad. We need a 'free' press that carries out responsible investigative journalism and reporting. People like Morgan risk doing untold damage to those freedoms.

If we were to list people we wouldn't want to dinner, would Morgan be on that list? My opinion; I wouldn't want the guy through the front gate, and he would share that list with Trump and Farage - I dare say there are others but they're not people that figure in my thoughts much. Noisy, nothing people who bring little of good to the world.
 
No doubt he'll be popping up on Andrew Neil's GB News with others having distinct/polarising views very likely attract a significant audience.

And as much as Neil might object to the characterisation - this feels like a step down the Foxification/CNNing of our broadcast 'TV' news that I think will do us no good whatsoever in the long run, but if that's what the people want that's what we'll get :(

Not dissimilar to LBC really.

Not certain that LBC has a history of being balanced on all issues.

Thing about LBC is that individual presenters are free to express their own opinions and don't have to do balance within their shows unless they so choose. But overall LBC I think has still to provide balance of opinion across it's schedule - or maybe that is just what the owners prefer to provide in order to glean the greatest listenership. That said LBC must be under some constraints as for some reason Farage was required to leave his show (or was he pushed). Fox has no such consideration of balance.

That can work both ways.
To the English tabloids, tennis player is Andy Murray is British when he wins and Scottish when he loses.

Nationality is blurred these days.
Also, if a Scottish football club does well, it's a good result for British football.
Playing golf with a local a few years ago at Berwick-upon-Tweed I asked him if he considered himself Scottish or English. Neither, was his reply. 'I'm a Borderer.'
As for me I'm British, but English when I go to some countries who still hate the British but are okay with the English. Or it could be the other way around.
Saying you're Irish is a safe bet. They never invaded anybody.

You are a brave man. I discovered a good while ago that people in Berwick can be quite aggressively one or the other. Guess wrong and you get a death stare. Best left alone.

The Andy Murray angle is so old hat. He is Scottish whether he wins or loses. Most people have no problem with that.

Don't think so.
Q: Which football league has only 2 teams? (apart from the Scilly Isles).

A: The Scottish Football league.

Over the last 20 years it’s just Liverpool , Chelsea , Arsenal , Fulham , Spurs and Man Utd who have reached European Finals

Celtic and Rangers have also reached one in that same period
