Who one earth is he please anybody? He seems to think he speaks for the nation.....isn't he on X factor?

Apparently they just didn’t ‘get him’ the ratings tanked so he had to go. I don’t think one good thing ie the gun thing makes up for all the other awfulness. It’s like when people try to excuse all the DM awfulness on the basis they did good work on the Lawrence case.

Chestnut and/or suziewoozie

Did he seem to fail in America because he angered the gun lobbyists then?
Not a bad thing imo.

That could make him very unpopular indeed over there.

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 23:58:22

Blue yes that awful Eamon Holmes and Steve Allen - it’s incredible what men are allowed to say about women on TV/Radio. And then people wonder why I believe the patriarchy reigns supreme. I have a theory about certain men - eg the three we’ve mentioned - and why they hate women so much. You can probably guess what it is.

crazyH Mon 13-Jan-20 23:57:59

Yes Chestnut, I watched that interview and he did tear that gunlobbyist to shreds ??

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 23:53:41

He failed in USA but apparently we have lower standards here

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 23:52:51

Chestnut I know the difference between a fact and all the gossip, half truths, lies, misinformation, , bigotry, hatred, envy and jealousy flooding any thread on MM at the moment..

Callistemon Mon 13-Jan-20 23:51:41

He escaped to America for a bit, didn't he Eloethan

And now he's back
As the song says, we should have changed that stupid lock

Callistemon Mon 13-Jan-20 23:49:42

I think Alan Sugar is very much spoken for, MissA, sorry.
He does have a certain rugged charm grin

Eloethan Mon 13-Jan-20 23:43:32

Yes, he was the editor of the Mirror and got the sack for publishing fake photos of British soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners.

MissAdventure Mon 13-Jan-20 23:43:05

I could quite fancy Alan Sugar.

Callistemon Mon 13-Jan-20 23:35:41

Ah!
But Alan Sugar is just a pussycat.

Chestnut Mon 13-Jan-20 23:33:15

He and Alan Sugar are good friends, it's all an act.

Callistemon Mon 13-Jan-20 23:28:41

Wasn't he the editor of the Mirror or the Sun or something?

I have rarely seen him but I watched part of his interview with Alan Sugar the other evening and at least Alan Sugar was able to stand up to him, which is what a bully needs.

Hetty58 Mon 13-Jan-20 23:25:07

He loves the sound of his own voice - so not a good presenter!

BlueBelle Mon 13-Jan-20 23:18:12

Well you would jenifereccles I m sure he’s right up your street He’s a vile vile man and everything suzie said is correct he is an opinionated arrogant loud mouthed ill mannered man and what he’s said about aneghan Merkal amounts to slander That goes for Eamon Holmes and his hate speech too and an incredible awful radio presenter called Steve Allen who rants about every woman he takes a dislike to he spent three hours this morning calling Meghan everything under the sun No wonder they want to leave this paradise of a country

Chestnut Mon 13-Jan-20 23:17:54

No it's your opinion suziewoozie and you sound exactly the type of person you say he is....a person who thinks just because they say something it's true! Pot kettle and black come to mind.

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 23:03:47

Nope I don’t Jennifer. What I posted is fact.

Chestnut Mon 13-Jan-20 22:59:18

He is always over the top with his opinions but he does give a good interview. I've seen him tear some ghastly American gun lobbyist to shreds when he advocated that USA mass shootings could be reduced by giving guns to children. It was brilliant!
He also gives proper good in-depth interviews of famous people and manages to get them to open up very well. Plus some pretty good prison interviews of serial killers. So he's not all bad.

JenniferEccles Mon 13-Jan-20 22:52:36

You need to add - in my opinion to that unpleasant comment suzie

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 22:47:48

Oh many of you would - he’s ill informed, misogynistic, stupid, opinionated and up himself. He thinks saying something makes it true ??????

JenniferEccles Mon 13-Jan-20 22:36:35

I suspect a lot would agree with what he had to say about the Sussexes this morning.

suziewoozie Mon 13-Jan-20 22:07:50

He has been utterly shameless in his endless hate filled vile tweets about Meghan. He is a prick of the highest order and a prime example of how utter mediocrity can succeed. A tribute and testament to all that is shameful in our country today.

BradfordLass72 Mon 13-Jan-20 22:03:08

Clearly I am missing out, living in NZ where opinionated bullies are not even allowed in the country.

According to Wikid-pedia, 'Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan is an English (with a name like that?) "personality" who worked for the Sun and New of the World.

I'll stop right there, that tells you all you need to know.

Luckygirl Mon 13-Jan-20 21:53:04

I'm with the OP - I have never knowingly heard or seen this person. I seem to survive. smile

MissAdventure Mon 13-Jan-20 21:38:44
