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

Sparkii
Your obviously very confused. Most people in the uk know who Piers Morgan is. And he's never been an XFactor judge.

sparki - I like your question. It could also be worded "who on earth does PM think he is... he seems to think etc".
He's an opinionated bully - imho.

MiniMoon Mon 13-Jan-20 21:32:48

Piers Morgan! He's an opinionated big head.
He was a judge on Britains got Talent, perhaps that's what you're thinking of Sparkii.

I love watching him on morning tv.
He always has plenty to say.

Hetty58 Mon 13-Jan-20 21:37:59

He really gets on my t**s!

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

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.

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.

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 22:47:48

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 22:52:36

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 23:35:41

Ah!
But Alan Sugar is just a pussycat.

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

I could quite fancy Alan Sugar.

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.

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

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
