Personally i hope it's the end of his career and he ends up a road sweeper or toilet cleaner at Glastonbury.

Re: Meghan/Harry
It’s important we hear Piers Morgan's side of the what happened before we jump to conclusions - someone should get his old reporting team at the Mirror to hack his voicemail so we can hear it...

Back on topic. Piers Morgan isn’t it.

On The Media Show the other week, the Express said that they are going to change their ways.
Amol Rajan gave some examples that he didn't appear to like and then said "so does this mean that we won't be seeing things like these examples being published again"? The answer was "no".
It should still be on BBC Sounds if anyone wants to listen to it, IIRC it was 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Re: Meghan/Harry
Much like a corporate response really.
Afterwards it will be something along the lines of 'Important lessons have been learned' blah blah.

Re: Meghan/Harry
In general terms I think Piers Morgan is a complete dick, but on this subject I’m afraid I’m with the complete dick.
Immediately their friends in the global woke brigade (most of which being multi-millionaires in Beverly Hills) have all rallied around to this “victim”. The woke faction have managed to pin a “racist” badge to it.....job done..........it’s so far removed from racism it’s embarrassing.
Nasal hair! Mine actually, is more of an international issue that them.

Totally agree, the old racist card being pulled out once again.

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck - it’s probably a duck...

Re: Meghan/Harry
I don't see anything wrong with wondering what the child of two people will look like. I imagine that the families of young couples will wonder who the child will most look like, what colour eyes it will have etc all the time.
If the couple are different colours, this is bound to come into the equation. Of course it does matter in what context this was said, what tone etc.
Often it's not what was said, but what was meant too. An Asian comedian (can't remember which one) once said (when talking seriously) that some lads had racially abused her whilst sitting opposite her on the tube. After they got off, an elderly lady sat next to her said "Take no notice of them love, you can't help being a p**i"! It could be argued that she was being racist too but, despite the clumsiness of an elderly person brought up in a different era, she was actually trying to comfort the comedian.
