Well I actually missed it, but have just been shown the vid of Alex Beresford giving his take on Meghan & Harry, I must say I don’t think it’s done Piers any favours upping and walking off like that

It seems to me Piers Morgan is getting more coverage across the news today than M & H. Even politicians talking about him too.

Well, MM certainly is; she has made a formal complaint against him.

I think there are many conversations to have about free speech, and who should have control of it, usually the last people you would want to control it in many cases. However it is laughable for Piers Morgan to be pretending to stand up for free speech, he walked off set because he couldnt tolerate someone else's viewpoint.

Just pity he won't stay off!

He will. Stay away that is. he has left Good Morning.

I think he just walked off to calm down. He did come back. I would have done the same in those circumstances.

For someone expressing a different viewpoint?

Lollin Wed 10-Mar-21 22:01:13

Morgan said he “didn’t believe a word” of someone saying that they had experienced suicidal thoughts.

It wasn’t simply a case of expressing a different viewpoint galaxy.

Galaxy Wed 10-Mar-21 22:09:50

I was referring to the fact that Morgan couldnt tolerate someone else's viewpoint. A poster said they too would have walked off. I was asking why you would walk off, as Morgan did, just because someone held a different view to you.

Lollin Wed 10-Mar-21 22:13:13

My apologies galaxy thought I had caught up properly.

Meghan making a formal complaint to ITV.She has every right to -but on it goes.
She's over there now. Pregnant and apparently trying to find peace.Harry should take her phone and tell her friends that fed her all the negative stuff in the press-as she said she never read about herself- they are taking a few days out from everything. If he really wants to protect her.

Galaxy Wed 10-Mar-21 22:32:17

No worries Lollin, it wasnt the clearest post I have ever made grin

I cannot believe that he was sprouting his bile at the garden gate with his child beside him this morning as he ‘was doing the school run’ wouldn’t someone with an ounce of integrity say to the child ‘pop inside to mummy please while I talk to these people’ Instead he opened his big mouth and was decrying his belief that he didn’t believe a word that Meghan said about her mental health , as the child stood beside him in a yellow bobble hat
Hideous hideous man

Ellianne Wed 10-Mar-21 22:44:49

Yes, very inappropriate.

And yet he has a huge fan base - some of it directly as a result of his obsessive attacks on MM for the last couple of years. And now he’s another poster boy for ‘free speech’ along with the delectable Lozza Fox and Toby Young amongst others.

loads of job offers after his little stunt shock

Whitewavemark2 Thu 11-Mar-21 02:46:53

I see the director for the Society of Editors has resigned over denying that the press is racist and bigoted.

Well that’s is another welcomed resignation from the white middle aged loud mouthed men’s club, probably all to be employed by the new Fox type news outlets beginning to pop up.

Lots of gammons shouting their mouths off.

BlueBelle Thu 11-Mar-21 04:28:59

Yes suziewoozie a huge fan base just like Trump has
There are a lot more idiots in this world than I ever could have realised

57 anti MM tweets from PM in one day.

Not normal.

It might seem that he’s the one with MH problems and he’s in deep denial about the MH problems of others because he’s afraid of holding up the mirror to himself

This morning demonstrates a nice example of the problems and contradictions in free speech - newspapers identifying suspect in a murder case, broadcast media not . He’s not been charged yet, I don’t think that he should be identified.

I said this last night to my husband. We know where this man works, where he lives, his age more or less, the fact they are a 'nice little family' which suggests he has small children, that his wife may have covered his tracks for him. It is pretty shocking all that was put in the public domain so quickly. Obviously it is more shocking that a poor woman is dead but there is a massive degree of irresponsibility in putting all the previous in the public domain, surely?

JaneJudge Thu 11-Mar-21 07:51:17

btw I have not seen the news this morning...

Galaxy Thu 11-Mar-21 07:57:27

It may depend why that was done.

suziewoozie Thu 11-Mar-21 08:04:12

It’s true that sometimes the police release the name of a suspect because he’s on the run or they need witnesses but they haven’t in this case. It’s as if Christopher Jeffries never happened.

Galaxy Thu 11-Mar-21 08:16:14

They released his profession very quickly. I do wonder what is going on here.

Yes I wondered about that but it is common to say a 25 year old man etc etc. What’s not ok is all the photos of him ( taken from his FB page) all over the place - but hey ho freedom of the press
