Should have kept his mouth shut regardless of what he thinks.

The odious turd will not turn up somewhere else, probably dragged in on the bottom of someone's shoe.
Good, he's a nasty c***. Fingers crossed that's the end of him ( it won't be, but we can hope)
Shame, unfortunately as said above he will reappear somewhere unpleasant. Probably that uk tv news channel
He really is a kn@b, but had re-deemed himself ( to a point) over the last year, by being one of the few members of the MSM to ask the hard questions of our shambolic leaders. Well, I suppose a Leopard can't change it's spots, or whatever.
Unfortunately the gammon in chief keeps on reappearing.
I hate the **** but he's the only mainstream broadcast journalist that holds the government to account so govt will be breathing a sigh of relief unfortunately
GB News is his next stop perhaps? Saw someone speculating elsewhere he might end up on the channel.

yep, now quaking in their boots at the prospect of going toe to toe with a footy presenter.
GB News is his next stop perhaps?
Wouldn’t be surprised - he’d probably be one of the moderates on the channel sadly...
Good, although, as has been said, he's the only one that stands up to MP's.

Despite voting for his party so liked him enough back then. The only reason he does that is because he refuses to go on his show. Piers is an absolute idiot im glad hes off tv. Bet his co-host is stoked she now gets to talk without being constantly talked over.
Feel sorry for Suzanne TBH. Andrew Marr is better for drilling MP's. I do quite like him.
Morgan is bully and sexist, and a Tw**
All I can say is well done Alex Beresford on calling him out.
He'll resurface like a particularly unflushable turd at some point.
"Saying the unsayable on behalf of the moral majority who have been silenced by the PC Brigade" or somesuch toss.
The world would be a better place if he just shut his fat irrelevant gob and ****ed off, but life is not that good unfortunately.
I'll never forget listening to I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue on Radio 4 one teatime when Steven Fry described the word Countryside in the Uxbribge English Dictionary as "Killing Piers Morgan"
GB News is his next stop perhaps? Saw someone speculating elsewhere he might end up on the channel.
Probably already signed a contract- this was probably a way to get a swift departure and maximum publicity.
Help, I'm being cancelled!

Yep. Cynical shit.

I don't watch breakfast telly though MrsMC has it on when she's getting ready in the morning. She couldn't tear herself away from it this morning, rather wish I'd stayed to watch him.
He's been great at calling out the crap handling of the pandemic, Otherwise he's an awful human being.
He was too shit for CNN, that's saying somit.
He also never held anyone to account, he was simply an ignorant **** who never let anyone speak.
Political commentator he is not.
Andrew Marr is better for drilling MP’s.
Sorry, what? Lol.
He really is a kn@b, but had re-deemed himself ( to a point) over the last year, by being one of the few members of the MSM to ask the hard questions of our shambolic leaders.
True, that. Next stop GB News, surely.

No, what he does so is spout whatever he think will get him to be popular, thankfully it massively backfired this am. I caught the part where he was belittling mental health, he as being show down but kept spouting on. He suddenly went silent, I expect he was told to stop as ITV promotes supporting mental health. Anyway he’s off mainstream TV which is a win.
The snowflakiest of snowflakes! 😂 The man who has spent his life insulting people and then having a go at them for taking offence, literally has no backbone and takes offence himself when someone calls him out for being the bigot that he is?
Who'da thunk it?!?! 😂😂😂
The snowflakiest of snowflakes! 😂
Or just the absolute definition of white fragility.
He also never held anyone to account, he was simply an ignorant **** who never let anyone speak.
Bet his co-host is stoked she now gets to talk without being constantly talked over.
I never watch morning telly out of choice, but my g/f does, and if we’re both up at the same time, she usually has This Morning on, much to my annoyance because that odious turd Morgan is normally the host, and those two quotes really sum up his behaviour - asking a question, then repeatedly talking loudly over the guest, never letting them fully answer before he asks another question, or else asking the same question as if they haven’t answered at all.
I’m not a violent person as a rule, but just give me a baseball bat and five minutes alone with Morgan... 😈
"Countryside"
The snowflakiest of snowflakes!
Choreographed pantomime to ensure the most coverage.
One of the original pantomime dames mantomime lames. He’ll never be out of business as long as there is veggie sausages, outspoken women, AGW and brown people who speak up about racism.
He found a gravy train that goes on forever.
As others have guessed, he’s no doubt already signed up as the ‘liberal’ foil to some Right Red Herring show in the wings. Antiwoke - the musical? Great British Breakfast Radio? Snowflakes Come Dancing?
Don’t feel sorry for suzanna...
Distinct whiff about the whole thing. Good way of getting out of a restrictive contract.. see also Clarkson punching top gear producer, landing multi million pound contract with Amazon.,,
Peirs will be on GB news or times radio soon enough.
He also never held anyone to account, he was simply an ignorant **** who never let anyone speak.
Agree. He was actually useless at dealing with politicians.
Ask them a question that they are not prepared for
They do a typical politician avoid the question
He asks again

10 minutes later the interview is over with nothing gained as only one question was asked and was never going to be answered. A good political interviewer would have moved on rather than waste the 10 minutes.
Very clever move by GMs choice of his replacement.
Was it just me or did anyone else find that BBC article in the OP a bit cringeworthy? Particularly the wee eulogy at the end?
I know BBC online content isn't up to much in journalistic terms but that was poor even by their standards 👎
Ooo, who's that?
Ranvir Singh is replacing him.
Tidy, cheers. 🙂
And here he is this morning on Twitter going back to his claim and un-defending himself in the name of self publicity. Odious man.
^^^
As predictable as it is stomach turning.
Welcome to Nasty Britain.
Still, maybe he's off to be a 'Brand Ambassador' for Mullet Cycles (or even better - Sick!)
Nah. Specialized.
Well a SWAT team would be welcome...
How self blind is Morgan??
He has tweeted a Churchill quote saying he is happy to die on the hill of free speech
"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled. Some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage." - Winston Churchill
Does he not realise this also applies to him in spades?
Does he not realise this also applies to him in spades?
He does. Most of his audience doesn't. He is appealing to the kind of person who thinks that they are somehow discriminated against because it has thankfully become unacceptable to use racist/sexist language.
Is he so obsessed with Meghan because he tried to pull her and she ended up with Harry instead?
Blokes a ****. It's been a fairly bizarre thing over the last 12 months where he's basically been the media voice of common sense with regards to Covid.
Funny how after a year of hammering Johnson he's resorted to the same Chruchill meme playbook though 😂 The whole free speech thing is both incredibly complicated and incredibly simple for me.....it doesnt exist in our society. You are legally (quite rightly) not allowed to say any number of things, so in that sense we don't have 'free speech'. Where you draw the line is obviously much harder to define.
Where you draw the line is obviously much harder to define.
It is, but rule number one is a good place to start. And Morgan is always on the wrong side of that even when his point is valid.
Funny how after a year of hammering Johnson he’s resorted to the same Chruchill meme playbook though
Specially funny when he flounced rather than hear a colleague's "free speech" !
I know others have said this but every stage of this has played out exactly how he wanted.
He leaves a contract early with maximum publicity before going off to a new, more lucrative contract. Perfect stuff (for him), exactly what he intended.
Morgan's idea of free speech is being allowed to run tabloid headlines falsely accusing British soldiers of being war criminals.
More than a whiff about the whole thing. Wonder if the GB News '*ankerman' contract with Brillo Pad heid was signed the day before?
Brand Morgan will be back, its worked well for him and ITV during the last 12 months appearing to be the man taking on the government (whilst simultaneously not landing a glove on them) and now as GB News (government broadcasting?) is recruiting and the alt-right/right-wing claim they have been silenced (pleeeeaaaaasssse....) now that the shouty orange poppet has departed his throne of tweets across the sea, perhaps they reached out to Morgan in an attempt to drag across a few floating voters from vague centre right (whatever that is) to join them. He will sit to the left of most on that show but perhaps he can double up as a royal correspondent given his expertise in that area or become the mental health champion, again he is blessed with an apparent expertise in that area also.
Countryside? yes, but don't be surprised if he returns like canoe man (hard done to IMO) but with a slightly different link to Panama.
I quite liked him, made for lively discussions, sure he annoyed me at times too, but I just switched over when he got too much, seemed to work ok
Worth catching the James o Brien podcast where they engaged an his war on woke and gets his arse handed to him by JoB
Roundly slapped down by much more skilled polemicist
The point above about all this paving the way for his appointment as token 'left'* commentator on GB news is pretty on the nose
* By their standards
Is that the same James O’Brien who demanded we all treat Carl Beech’s paedophile accusations as being “true” simply because he told us they were?
... and is now telling us everything M&H have said is true simply because they say it is?
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/james-o-brien-and-the-carl-beech-witch-hunt
Yes, that's the same one.
Are you going anywhere with this?
He is an arrogant ****.
Let's not forget his racist interview with Dizzee Rascal:
He's just like a male version of Katie Hopkins, hopefully he will crawl into a drain somewhere, just like she did, never to be seen again.
Countryside? yes, but don’t be surprised if he returns like canoe man (hard done to IMO) but with a slightly different link to Panama.
I assumed the countryside comment was aimed at the suggestion of 5 minutes with him and a baseball bat. Is it not the technical term for murdering the likes of him, Clarkson et al..
Ah, glad that there's another Forest Friends fan on here!
Until I read this Newsweek piece yesterday I didn’t know about Morgan and Markel’s previous meeting which seems to have triggered his ridiculous obsession with Megan.
He’s a very sad little man.
He’s a very sad little man.
He's pretty portly actually. Definitely carrying a bit of timber.
So his problem is that he didn't get to give the ferret a run when he thought he might be in with a chance of pulling her....
Sounds about right to me - fits the 'late middle aged prick who has got where he is by bullying and bluffing so reckons he is a bit of a player' mould pretty well, I would say.
Blimey, Piers has been walking around London a lot today. I'm sure he walks around London a lot though, he's a fitness freak for sure. He has a bit more time on his hands today admittedly but is a very keen walker.
Yes, he walks a lot.
Met at least one admiring fan which must have embarrassed him massively.
He went for another walk afterwards to get over the embarrassment before going for a recovery walk.

The Spectator, you say? A Daily Heil for those who look down on the Heil. I suspect he didn't say we should treat everything Beeching said as true any more than he did "M&H".
A Daily Heil for those who look down on the Heil.
Sounds better at the golf club, dear boy. I mean we 'need' those types who think a shirt and tie under a leather jacket is a good look, but we wouldn't want them actually at the golf club...
I think he’d be pleased to know that most of the posters on STW don’t like him! 😀
I’d heard that they’d got 40k+ complaints...
That’s got to be a record right?

I think he has managed to push himself into third place
A good collection of spats between Piers and Dan Walker from the Poke:
https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2021/03/10/13-times-dan-walker-gloriously-owned-piers-morgan/
"Don’t worry... I’ll sort you an interview. Just bring an Arsenal shirt and a reference from any job you haven’t been sacked from"
I like the fact than Dan Walker likes running rings around the fat bully, but that Twitter exchange stuff just made me think....
This burns!
https://www.scarymommy.com/piers-morgan-if-you-cant-take-it-dont-dish-it/
Oh, and my desire for five minutes with Morgan and a baseball bat isn’t connected in any way to countryside, merely a chance to leave him a bit bruised!
Although the ‘countryside’ comment does make me laugh!
This burns!
It doesn't really. It is entirely accurate, justified and quite well done, but it is just attention for him.
This really is life by panto audience participation technique...
Oh yes it is.
The baddy comes on, everyone boos. The goody comes on, everyone cheers. The sheer predictable safety of it all distracts from the core truth. There is no plot, the actors can't act and it is just an exercise is getting people to part with cash for a bray and a laugh. But everyone loves a bit of panto and everyone remembers the bit where the wicked witch sprayed water over the front row. Oh how we laughed.
Outside the theatre the police were breaking up a protest rally with excessive force, but those inside weren't aware of it.
Panto baddie is quite accurate actually.
In reality he's clever, perceptive and sometimes even charming, but he sort-of plays the character of an oafish, obnoxious bellend as his job (on screen and on social media).
OK, he doesn't have to try too hard, and he might be a sociopathic narcissist, but he can be quite good when he wants to be.
Anyway, I saw Popbitch reported that the unusual speed with which ITV confirmed his departure was possibly related to him telling someone senior there to **** off following his little tantrum.
10 minutes later the interview is over with nothing gained as only one question was asked and was never going to be answered. A good political interviewer would have moved on rather than waste the 10 minutes.
Maybe but then you end up with Marr who just gives an opportunity for Tories to blether on about whatever they want for the entire time without being obliged to answer anything.
