Ben Fogle refused to discuss Meghan Markle with Piers Morgan, who was desperately trying to slate her & Prince Harry.
Isn’t it time for all this unsavoury rubbish to stop ?

Good point Galaxy, back to the jist of the matter.

Ellianne Thu 04-Mar-21 09:01:36

Have you found your own subtle way of starting a thread to make fun of GNs who like discussing the M & H débacle?
Personally I am sick of them, but I have an interest in the media - in the wider sense- so like to discuss how image can be managed. The script is constantly being rewritten. The H & M saga is also unfolding history, so if some GNs want to draw comparisons and speculate then that too is fine.

I think Piers Morgans judgement on people he knows is beyond odd. His behaviour towards Meghan is compulsive and he was the same towards Trump but in his favour rather than against him. Piers seems unable to understand that an individual liking or disliking piers is not a good indicator of character.

“he is not alone in his obsession with m and H is he ?? Does he also say he’s sick of them and then discuss them endlessly?”
A bit like lots on Gransnet than

Yes
Piers Morgan thrives on publicity. Make any kind of comment about H and M, especially an unkind one and the front page is yours

I don’t watch Pers Morgan either but someone sent me a link to his interview with the awful (IMO ) Matt Hancock and I thought it was spot on.
However he is not alone in his obsession with m and H is he ?? Does he also say he’s sick of them and then discuss them endlessly?

I really haven't the energy to think about other people's lives.
Particularly people I've so little in common with.

I've got too many of my own issues to contend with. grin

Bridgeit Wed 03-Mar-21 22:24:02

Yes but his is negative.

Ellianne Wed 03-Mar-21 22:23:04

But isn't Piers Morgan indirectly giving M & H more and more publicity every day by going on about them?

MayBee70 Wed 03-Mar-21 22:20:38

I thought she was a breath of fresh air at first also. Not sure what to make of it all now.

MissAdventure Wed 03-Mar-21 22:06:59

I don't know about the Meghan thing with him.

He was practically salivating at how great she was at first.

Bridgeit Wed 03-Mar-21 22:06:55

Allegedly ,he had a soft spot for her.

MissAdventure Wed 03-Mar-21 22:05:19

I agree, MayBee70
He had some blisteringly good interviews with them.

Ellianne Wed 03-Mar-21 21:55:47

What is his problem with M &H? Did he not get an invitation to the wedding?

JuneRose Wed 03-Mar-21 21:53:03

No don't let him on here...no one would get a word in edgeways!! He's so vicious about Meghan and Harry. He's seems quite unbalanced on the subject.

MayBee70 Wed 03-Mar-21 21:50:21

Piers Morgan is one of the few people to hold this government to account, especially over covid.

GrannyBigmouth?

grandmajet Wed 03-Mar-21 20:49:00

What would Piers have as his user name?!

MissAdventure Wed 03-Mar-21 20:44:03

Which one?
Not Fogle, surely?

Jaxjacky Wed 03-Mar-21 20:41:00

Can’t stand the man so don’t watch him.

MissAdventure Wed 03-Mar-21 19:41:50

Calendargirl, that's food for thought.
He may yet give an interview based on what he's gleaned on here. smile

Fennel Wed 03-Mar-21 19:36:15

good point MissAd.
We used to have occasional 'experts' etc to answer prepared questions.
I remember one with Hunter Davies.
