    He'll be ok, there will always be a place for a mouthy antagonmist on telly or the airwaves.
    That show after he leaves more than likely not. Back to miniscule figures and the brief rise to challenge BBC Breakfast ends! :D

    Who guessed this morning when you saw his meltdown.:pac:

    The usual suspects, self declared progressives, the modern left.

    The same crew who often have awful attitudes toward Jews and Asians.

    That's enough to wobble the 'right side' into hysteria. :D

    He drives the modern Left Insane with rage because he doesn't know his place.

    I had a feeling he'd walk from it completely even as quickly as he finally did.



    It was hilarious his flouncey behaviour this morning.:)

    I am honestly none the wiser as to who you're taking about.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I see Hilary Clinton has had her say on Meghan and Harry

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9343319/Fury-unhelpful-Hillary-Clinton-attacks-UK-treatment-Harry-Meghan.html
    'I found it so heart-rending to watch,' Clinton said, adding that she had met the pair before, as well as Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana.

    Clinton then said it was 'heartbreaking' to watch the 'incredibly accomplished' Markle 'not be fully embraced' by both the 'permanent bureaucracy that surrounds the Royal family' and the UK press.

    The former presidential hopeful said she too is no stranger to facing off with the British press, adding: 'I've had my time in the box with the British tabloids, as anybody who is in the public eye has had, and their cruelty in going after Meghan was just outrageous.

    You know, this is 2021 and she wanted to live her life, she wanted to be fully engaged and she had every right to hope for that,' Clinton added.

    The Clintons hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    It was the bit at the end where he accused them of 'racist bullying' I missed. Although I'm not sure that calling someone 'white' qualifies as racism.

    You really think so ?

    Under Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, Good Morning Britain's ratings are at an all-time high with the show's audience share doubling - from 14 to 28% - since the former Sun man joined in 2015.

    During that time how many people have stopped watching Morning TV. It could be that the older audience has remained, while younger audience now switch on the Radio or their own audio in the Morning.

    what is the average rating for GMB in millions over those years?

    Little reading shows it is around the same!

    and I'm sure someone tweeting 'shut the fück up, black man' wouldn't be classed as racist at all...

    Fair point, but I wouldn't entertain that as racism either, to be honest. Any more than the use of 'man' as sexist.

    Well now, it's likely with his personality.
    I reckon it's far more likely he said 'fcuk this' although I don't know - I know there is to be an Ofcom investigation spurred on by 41k complaints but let's face it, there'd still be an inquiry if only one saddo living in a basement tweeted a complaint the way it's going.
    PS I've just seen there's some campaign to get even the GMB camera operators sacked as 'enablers'!
    Now THAT's back on topic!

    If I said Obama was a black arsehole I would be classed as a racist.

    If someone said trump was an orange arsehole, they would be swimming with "thanks"

    You do know that orange isn't a race? Don't you?

    problem is that those in the latter character haven't the intelligence to see their hypocrisy. Virtue signaling SJW don't care about logic

    No , royalty is not exclusive to white europeans

    Eddie Murphy played a prince in " Coming to America "

    his family looked pretty "priviledged" to me

    I won't be surprised to see him on GBNews, Andrew Neil's new channel.

    I think the ITV statement was that he left after a conversation with management. He was pushed out. Probably given the option to quit or be fired.

    I watched the conversation yesterday and Piers said nothing I thought was controversial. Chilling effect was in full force this morning. Susanna looked very nervous. They'll make sure they ramp up the self censorship.

    Disappointed she didn't quit also in solidarity.

    How are complaints received? Could a few script bots spam complaints I wonder?
