Ofcom have cleared Piers Morgan for saying on GMTV he doesn't believe a word MM says

Yes a puppet without a conscience is very apt. She certainly likes to think she can pull her strings!

Ba-boom!

Is she a self-activating puppet then? If you're going to insult people at least try to be coherent.

I have mixed feeling about PM. I don't really like him, he makes me squirm, but quite often I find myself agreeing with what he says.

Just popped in to say what was being said about Piers Morgan but I see it’s an anti Meghan fest.

I pull my own strings

I don't want to get the character wrong again, but why is love0c's comment incoherent please?
Pulling your own strings is an expression to mean taking control of your life, so you are not a victim. There's heaps of books written about it.
Galaxy has a good attitude if she does that!

We're talking about Meghan, not Galaxy.

She's a puppet, someone said, but she pulls her strings, someone else said.

So she's either not a puppet or we're in some weird horror movie with Meghan as a possessed wooden doll.

Which I'm sure someone will come along to say very soon.

All the judgement said was that Piers Morgan was entitled to his opinion. It in no way said that his opinion was correct.

There's a thread on here about a woman who went on walks with a man who saw the relationship as something other than friendship and she had to shut him down firmly.

Whatever your personal feelings of Meghan, can anyone be in any doubt that Piers Morgan has an unhealthy fixation on her, and seems to delight in trying to goad her with his televised and published comments. No woman deserves that. I hope this can be seen to show Piers there are consequences to actions and he'll desist in future, despite being "cleared by Ofcom" on this occasion.

Princess Pinocchio was trending on Twitter this morning. The childishness is astounding.

Love him or hate him, this ruling is not actually about PM, but about free speech in the media. It was clearly stated that a journalist is allowed to express an opinion, so long as it is robustly challenged, in other words, the discussion is balanced. I think it is the right decision.
GMB is not actually a news programme, although it covers topical events, and the main headlines. I think the term is ‘magazine.’ It is a magazine type programme. A straight news bulletin would The News at Ten, or similar. Incidentally I have never watched GMB and I didn’t see PM and therefore don’t have a clear idea of what happened, I only know what reportedly happened, but it doesn’t matter because the ruling is what’s important, not what PM said.

Yes London I agree completely nobody should be cheering on a mans creepy behaviour because a woman said no to him. That's not good for any women.

How to put a spin on a story! ?

Have you ever thought of working in journalism?

That really doesn't represent what happened.

Quote from Piers:

We had two hours in the pub, she had a couple of dirty martinis and pints - we got on brilliantly,’ he said of the meeting during an appearance on the Late Late Show. ‘Then I put her in a cab, and it turns out it was the cab that took her to a party where she met Prince Harry. The next night they had a solo dinner and that was the last I ever heard from Meghan Markle. I never heard from her again - Meghan Markle ghosted me.

Poor lamb, he's being ignored.

i have no idea but i think i remember pm offered to set her up with loads of contacts in tv media and they agreed to check in on another occasion
obviously the harry date was more considered more fruitful by mm
maybe he is miffed she never got back to him to explain her absence though to my mind the reason is there for all to see

To pull strings is 'to use ones's status or influence to gain an advantage'. What is there not to understand?? .

No spin just an ability to recognise that kind of behaviour in a man. I am glad that you havent had the experience which enables you to recognise it.

obviously the harry date was more considered more fruitful by mm

Hmm. Let’s think would you be more likely to fancy spending more time with young Harry? Or middle aged not very attractive at the best of times Piers?

Answers on a postcard….

Doesn’t PM have a wife?

Doesn’t PM have a wife?

yes a rather attractive one, not that I normally comment on peoples looks but she's stunning iirc <goes to feminist hell>

Yes. Celia Walden apparently

If I was MM's age and looking for a Prince, then Harry, possibly.

But, although I find PM incredibly annoying but can be outrageously funny, at my age I'd rather spend an evening with him and hear all the gossip than the increasingly boring, self-absorbed Harry.

That covers everything I was going to say ?

I'd rather spend time with my dog than any of them for what it is worth

maddyone ? well said.
