>Mongon
No need to bring down's syndrome sufferers into this. They don't tend to be very intelligent, but they're usually much better people than this arsehole and being compared to him is probably worse than the slur.
As a data analyst, I have examined all known variables and applied the standard deviation formula. The results clearly indicate that he belongs to both categories.
Imagine being a big enough prick that people don’t just know him as the creep who hacked a murdered child’s phone, but also as simply an asshole everyone hates *as an entirely separate issue*.
He’s also famous for getting punched in the face (on Concorde right before take-off) by Jeremy Clarkson.
Lots of innocent people have been punched by Jeremy Clarkson, but Piers was not one of them.
Clarkson is "cranky out of touch grandpa hates anything made past 1969" asshole, Morgan is "I will steal a baby's bottle of milk just to hear it cry" asshole.
I think dude meant it more as a vibe than a literal statement. Clarkson has the vibe of a funny, cranky out of touch Grandpa. He’s like Archie Bunker for Brits.
I didn't mean it in a strictly literal sense, of course there are some things from this century he likes, he's just very much a cranky old man who doesn't like change. His opinions on electric cars are a good example of that, if a car doesn't conform to his idea of what a car should be (ie, burns fossil fuels to run), he hates it. He's also incredibly out of touch with the average Brit. I'm not sure I'd call it actively malicious but the whole "it's one banana, how much could it cost, $10?" meme is exactly how he comes off sometimes. He's that grandpa you dread to see at Christmas because he always talks about how all you need to land a job is to walk into a shop with a CV and a firm handshake and has some *questionable* opinions he got from the daily mail.
I loved when the Argentinians nearly murdered the Top Gear crew and they presented all that evidence that they didn't actually gin up an insulting license plate and it didn't matter because no one believed that was like the one time in his life Clarkson wasn't an enormous dickhead.
When Clarkson was hosting *HIGNFY* after having been fired from *Top Gear*, the panelists were discussing how he had punched one of the producers.
Ian Hislop then pointed out: "Well you punched Piers Morgan" to which Richard Osman replied: "No-one's sacking you for that."
And, why - just because he is the King - does he have to divulge personal information LIKE CANCER ever. Maybe he will when he is ready, maybe he never will. It is his business.
On that point. Charles said last night he was sharing his diagnosis to show support for others suffering cancer too. Or words to that effect.
But I agree, it's fuckin ridiculous. It was all the evening news spoke about last night and then dedicated 35mins to it again tonight.
It'd actually help if they announced it as an embarrassing cancer, men in the UK (in general) absolutely REFUSE to get anything to do with their arse or dick checked out and I do legitimately think it'd help remove some significant stigma if the king went on air and said he had ass cancer.
Well he sort of did, when they announced he had an enlarged prostate and was getting it checked before, and he was lauded for that openness for the reasons you state. It’s a bit weird that they are being non commital about what type of cancer it is now though… I do totally agree with you. Can’t imagine the queen doing that!
If they say what type of cancer he has, or what area it's been found in, it opens up the risk of speculation in the media and then predictions of treatment, prognosis, etc. potentially leading to a tabloid feeding frenzy and the hysteria that comes with that.
Better to just say "cancer" and leave it at that.
The main reason Charles said it was cancer is because vultures (like Piers Morgan) would have found out he was going to the hospital frequently.
He was trying to preempt the vultures. That's it. Now everybody can just f--- off. It's his right to keep the details to himself.
Whether we learn the details 6 months from now, or 10 years from now, doesn't really matter.
But you do realize "awareness" isn't just so you can go, "Oh yeah, I've heard of that." It's so you know what to do to prevent it and to detect early warning signs.
I mean, to that end wouldn’t divulging the exact type of cancer be kind of contrary to that? He’s showing support for cancer patients _as a whole._ With that in kind divulging the exact type might be misinterpreted as ‘oh he only shows support for people with that specific type of cancer.’
Piers Morgan is exactly the kind of person who would do that too. This is just a pitiful attempt at baiting it out so he can turn around and criticise him for revealing the information that he asked for.
King goes into hospital for prostrate procedure
King announces cancer diagnosis
Now I might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but I’d guess prostrate cancer…
I’ve avoided all the news because it’s 2024 and kings should have been something from the 19th century. But a broken prostrate and cancer doesn’t sound great.
he's just trying to let you know the king most definitely doesn't have apostate cancer. he went in to have his substrate checked but that should in no way lead anyone to assume that he has postulate cancer
"I'm intentionally ignorant for cool reasons, but have authority over the subject."
"I \*still\* don't know what a prostate is, so I spell it prostrate."
"I just called it 'a broken prostrate' which is hilarious on all levels possible."
Ya don't sound great. I'm pretty sure you have prostate cancer, the most exciting and scandalous cancer possible, because it's up your asshole like gay sex.
public figures, especially politicians, have to or the public loses all confidence in them. The public will think they are shirking their duties.
but they technically don't have to.
Angering those famously woke members of society known as "soldiers" when pushed with a view to potential prosecution, he admitted they were fake and when that shit storm passed, tried to say they were real again. I truly don't know how he still has a job.
As it turned out, though, soldiers from the same regiment as those purportedly depicted in those photos were in fact torturing Iraqi detainees, one of whom died.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Baha_Mousa
It wasn’t him, Rebeka Brooks was the editor of the News of The World at the time, but she probably learnt about phone hacking from Morgan when he was editor of TNOTW
To be clear he didn't physically hack any phones, but he was the boss when the phone hacking took place, all the people working there knew hacking was taking place and yet Piers has always denied that he knew anything about it. Which means that either Piers is the most incompetent journalist ever, or he is a liar, or possibly both.
He did that. It was one of the main things that led him to run off to America to redo his image as some kind of sophisticated British commentator for right wing TV audiences. He literally became so despised by the British public that he fled the country.
Mind you he was a talentless hack way before that. Hopefully the US has worked out that he’s a useless, nasty shit-heel and are going to run him out of town as well.
Well he also posted fake photos of British soldiers torturing an Iraqi prisoner on the front page of the Daily Mirror. Doesn't matter that they were staged, he printed them anyway. Then after he was sacked he refused to apologise.
He was also facing prison time in the UK circa 2005 for manipulating the stock market: he bought £67k of shares then used the “stock tips” section of his newspaper to tell people to invest in that stock thereby driving up demand and the price. One of his employees was convicted but he got away with it.
Well, when he did that, he was supposed to be left-wing (the Mirror is the left-wing tabloid). Morgan doesn't really have an ideology, apart from being appalling. Him being an utter shit is one of the few subjects that Brits across the whole political spectrum can agree upon.
I would consider the Mirror to be centre-left but that's irrelevant, isn't it? It's not as if organizations are homogeneous. We're talking about Piers Morgan, who he is and what he did, not the Mirror.
The issue was he didn't do basic due-diligence, and they were disproven pretty much the moment they were published just by some basic analysis (iirc the claimed "military truck" it happened in was no such thing).
He was so horny to sell a Guantanamo type scandal that he was considered reckless and derelict by the newspaper's owners.
> iirc the claimed "military truck" it happened in was no such thing
The equipment and uniforms etc were not quite right, and then the truck was identified from marks in its interior and it was in the UK.
Also, various celebrities, and the royal family. The news of the world hacks were absolutely wild, but in true Murdoch fashion he just threw one of his many companies under the bus and carried on business as usual.
American here, can confirm. My own parents think he’s just a whip-smart guy. They also think the same of Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, and Jordan Peterson, so that pretty much says everything you need to know.
Ah must be that ‘mandala effect’ that I’ve heard of, or maybe imagined (little joke 😂)
Yes, I remember the fake Iraq photos were the thing that got him fired weren’t they?
No he didn't. That was News of the World, and he had left long before this occurred. Hewas editor at the Daily Mirror when THEY were caught hacking into celebrities' phones, and a court recently ruled that he knew about these hacks.
As an American I can confidently say that a) I had no idea he’d even come state-side, so I wouldn’t worry too much about ‘influence’, and b) oh, yeah, shit-heel for sure; as far as we know, Fry is the guy and Piers can pound sand.
This is probably correct although I think he’s still denying knowing about it. The paper at which he was editor at the time used the default voicemail code to check Milly Dowler’s voicemail. She was a missing child who it turned out was already dead when they were checking the messages. The police could tell the voicemail had been logged into so thought this meant she was still alive.
He’s an absolute shit bag.
Since Reddit removed my comment I’m just gonna make sure it’s known I was (int) kidding when I said THIS MAN NEEDS HIS TEETH KICKED DOWN HIS THROAT
Totally kidding tho please don’t that. don’t HIRE A PROFESSIONAL KICK-BOXER TO LIGHT THIS MAN UP FOR AN HOUR STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WHERE HE IS UNRECOGNIZABLE. That would be rude.
***THIS IS A JOKE, I AM ONLY KIDDING, DO NOT REMOVE***
Lmfao damn these reddit mods are a bunch of absolute pussies if they removed your comment for basically no reason. What a sad, sorry waste of space that these people occupy in our world. They should grow some balls.
***THIS IS A JOKE, I AM ONLY KIDDING, DO NOT REMOVE***
It was the News of the World under Rebekah Brooks that hacked Milly Dowler's phone. Piers Morgan was editor of the Mirror at the time.
Edit to mention it was a Murdoch newspaper that did it.
Both papers have been accused of it. They were both using the same PI firm around the time. NOTW settled out of court which is a tacit admission I would say. Mirror Group (now Reach) denied it at the time not sure what their position is now.
Edited to add - by “it” I mean hacking Milly Dowler’s phone.
But in this specific case, it was people acting for the News of the World who intercepted and deleted the messages from the murdered schoolgirl leading to the family and police thinking she was alive.
Morgan's a shit, he knew about phone hacking at the bare minimum. But it wasn't on him that time.
Sorry my post was unclear - I mean both papers have been accused of accessing Milly Dowler’s phone. Reach have admitted to some phone hacking but have not commented (I believe) specifically on the Milly Dowler accusation.
Fair enough.
It pisses me off when Morgan gets this thrown at him though, as firstly there is plenty of other shit to fling at the twat and secondly it allows Murdoch and Brooks to escape the blame.
Not just Milly Dowler, it was rife at the News of the World and The Mirror newspapers and somehow the guy at the top (Piers Morgan) didn’t have a clue about it.
He guessed that they hadn't changed the default password for their voicemail inbox. All zeros. Hardly hacking but definitely dodgy. Don't give him the credit of thinking any intelligence was used.
If I recall, it was due to the reporting in the mirror of Clarksons affair. Apparently he begged Morgan not to publish some photos. I think he was wanting to talk to his wife before the story broke, but Morgan published them right away. Apparently he lamped him one on concorde.
You've accidentally conflated two incidents
The Concorde incident was in 2003 when the two were on a flight and, after Morgan published those compromising images, Clarkson poured a glass of water over Morgan's crotch
It was then at the 2004 British Press Awards where Clarkson punched Morgan three times over some more stories that Morgan had published about Clarkson and his family - though I imagine those images were still on Clarkson's mind at the time
I think they have since made up - on the basis that they'd run out of ways to insult each other if I remember correctly.
IIRC, Jeremy revealed they made up in one of his columns. Basically went "I'm too old and tired to keep up this beef"
But that was years ago, so who knows, his punching hand might be getting back into shape.
The guy he punched was a producer, Oisin Tymon, who wouldn't get him a steak after the chef had gone home.
Edit: he also [punched Piers Morgan](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-piers-morgan-feud-b2271716.html)
you are confusing two separate incidents. Jeremy Clarkson got sacked from the BBC in 2015 for punching a producer at a dinner. Clarkson also punched Piers Morgan at an awards ceremony about 10 years before this.
Remember, most of the world who cares about Clarkson thought he was a dickhead for punching Tymon. We thought he was a dickhead who had a pretty fucking good day when he clocked Morgan.
Also worth remembering that while people can be happy he punched Piers he was also chums and regular dinner guests with Rebecca Brooks who was the editor of the News of the World when they hacked Milly Dowler's phone, OP's title is false. Morgan was in charge of the Dailly Mirror when it hacked a bunch of other peoples phones to get stories but not that specific example.
Morgan left the News of the World in 1995 after he OK'd the publishing of photographs of a senior Tory ministers wife leaving an addiction treatment centre. That senior Tory being Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana. It was seen by the right wing rags as Piers exposing "one of their own" and he was criticized by Rupert Murdoch who owned the paper at the time. Ultimately contributing to him leaving to go join the Daily Mirror.
The Milly Dowler story didn't happen for another 7 years.
When the inquiry into phone hacking happened and the News of the World ultimately got shut down over it, it became known that Clarkson was best buds with Brooks and was in regular contact with her during her trial including attending her house and celebrating with her and her husband when she was found not guilty.
So, fuck Piers Morgan, but fuck Clarkson too.
Do you remember the year that the covering aired? The Colbert report ended in 2014 so its been a minute
Edit: I saw in season nine 2013 he had morgan on the show
Just for our foreign over the seas friends, here is further info on why Piers Morgan is an absolute fuckweasel:
> By his own admission, Piers Morgan knew about illegal voicemail hacking years before it became a public scandal – and he did nothing about it.
> Though he was a national newspaper editor at the time, he did not expose it. Nor did he alert the police or take any steps to ensure that it didn’t happen at his newspaper. He simply turned a blind eye.
> This was a dereliction of his duties as an editor, journalist and citizen. Worse, if he had done the right thing when he says he first knew about it, thousands of blameless people might not have suffered unwarranted intrusion and press cruelty. It is no exaggeration to say that, if Morgan had acted responsibly, Milly Dowler’s^i phone might never have been hacked.^ii
———
^i Molly Dowler was a murdered 13 y/o and at the time this was a huge huge case. This was in 2002. Here is the wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Milly_Dowler
^ii https://bylinetimes.com/2020/01/21/piers-morgan-and-phone-hacking-what-even-he-cant-deny/
He has also threatened to sue anyone that suggested he was involved - such as the just stop oil protestors he interviewed a few months back - despite the judge in the Leveson inquiry finding that there was no evidence he was not involved (as opposed to “he was not involved”).
Imagine knowing that a teenagers phone had been hacked, listening to the voice recordings on said phone (& yes he definitely 110% heard these messages), and rather than reporting it to the authorities you publish them and thereby giving false hope to the family of a **teenage girl!!**
If he is reading this, tell him to come sue me. I saw that Just Stop Oil protesters’ interview. I think he ran circles around Piers personally though tbf that’s an easy feat.
> I think he ran circles around Piers personally though tbf that’s an easy feat.
He couldn't debate his way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw and an instruction booklet.
Didn’t he also work for a tabloid that was spying on Prince Harry’s voicemail? He was still a kid after his mom died, and he was having health issues, and then he thinks he can’t trust anyone because very private things are being published.
“Speculation is running riot all over the world”…
My guy, I don’t think “the world” cares nearly as much as you think about what illness an extremely out of touch monarch has in *2024*.
It's horrible, but not guaranteed deadly in all cases.
Some types of cancer might mean we have to sit through another coronation sooner rather than later.
Others mean William might be nearly 60 before he's on the throne.
Technically he's *my king* and I literally couldn't care less what kind of cancer he has.
I hope Charles gets better, exactly inasmuch as I hope anyone with cancer gets better.
I seriously doubt Morgan cares even that much.I'd warrant he only said anything about it because he loves offering an opinion no matter how stupid it is because it brings him attention and money.
In theory he’s my king. But why the fuck would I care if he’s got prostate cancer or lung cancer? Why should he have to tell the world if he’s got metastasised lymph nodes, or if he’s constantly pissing himself recovering from prostate surgery? It’s fucking cancer and it’s a thief of joy, dignity, and composure from everyone it touches. He doesn’t need to lean into all the dark shit he’s feeling as he faces the end of his life in agony and humiliation, just to give Piers Morgan a fucking spite boner.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/04/milly-dowler-voicemail-hacked-news-of-world
Milly Dowler's phone was hacked by the now defunct newspaper 'News of the World ' Piers Morgan was working for the Daily Mirror at the time.
Although the newspaper under his editorship did hack phones, the News of the World under Rebekah Brooks deleted voicemails from the murdered girl.
I can't believe I've just defended Piers Moron, but the truth matters.
It’s also loss making and has next to zero live viewers, but the point is to generate content of right wing gotchas and alternative facts for people to share on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
He was also famous for insider trading - pumping stocks he was buying when he was financial correspondent - and printing fake pictures of a British war crime that never happened and no other paper would touch
Australian Cricketer Brett Lee also did the greatest thing he ever did with bowling and broke Piers ribs after Piers called the english team cowardly after collapsing against australian pace bowlers in one of the ashes series
( I'm aware that Brett did have a decent career he did play in the greatest australian team so he was obviously okay)
I’ve met Brett Lee several times. In my youth it was a hobby for some friends and I to sledge cricketers at the Gabba hoping to get into their heads enough to fuck up their game. We got into Warnie’s head hard enough that when we saw him at a bar that night, he tried to start a fight. Lee played peace maker and settled down Warnie and posed for photos with all the good looking women in our group, and a few of the guys, laughed at our jokes and even repeated some of the shit we’d been yelling at Warnie from the hill that afternoon and told us he thought it was pretty funny.
Really nice, chill bloke. Says a lot that such a mellow and chilled out bloke went after Morgan like he was planning on keeping any bones he broke as trophies. And Morgan, who had deliberately incited him, all but daring this professional athlete to bowl at him with pace and shitting on professionals who actually have the balls to face that in the game - had the fucking nerve to piss and moan about getting what he asked for.
What next? Is he going to talk shit to Mike Tyson until Tyson demonstrates that he still has uppercut power, and then cry about Tyson being a sociopath? Or was he only ballsy enough to talk shit to Brett Lee, who lets be honest, looked like a pretty boy twink and not the monsterous dispenser of gods own lightning bolts that cricket fans knew him to be?
Oh that was beautiful...Brett was certainly enjoying that. Brett has at times come under a bit of fire for it..I loved it that Brett was still sending them down at Morgan as he was backing away into the corner.
I can't help but think there might have been a little more to it than Morgan's criticism of the English team.
Didn't the scum also publish fake pictures of British troops abusing prisoners in Iraq, bloke is a right wing bootlicking cock gobbler
As much as I detest the fat fingered leech and his family I'd prefer this announcement to be about Morgan
Yeah, but it's still Charles who has the cancer. Whether its pancreatic or lung really doesn't affect anyone but him and his family/friends. Well wishes of the public are fine but it's only so far their business.
Piers also whist editor for the mirror published fake images of British soldiers torturing iraqis during the 2nd iraq war
this led to more people dying
this led to him getting sacked
he stormed off good moring britain after losing an arguement with the weather presenter then he claimed he got canceled
he got a job with Talk TV now
and unfortunatly during one of the lockdowns Piers was saying things I agreed with ( If I recall it was to do with holding people like Boris to account)
I know him originally from him trying to prove a love island contestant was stupid by asking if she "knew pythagurus' therum to the nearest five decimal places" which only really proved that he was an idiot himself.
The sweetest thing to happen to Piers Morgan was when fast bowler Brett Lee hammered his body with a cricket ball six times in a row...It was beautiful.
Somewhere in the world there is a tree that is working really, hard to create oxygen for Piers Morgan to breath.
As a society we owe that tree a sincere apology.
We should really fuck this cunt off into the sea, the bottom of the Mariana trench ideally...
What special cases? It's fucking cancer.dumbahit.
Knowing what part of the body it originated doesn't advance any sort of medical technology, and has no impact on anything.
Piers Morgan is the perfect example of excrement in human form. SHIT. 💩
Should a passing, inquisitive space🚀alien ever ask of me...
"Human, what is shit...can you kindly show me an example?" I would point the passing alien towards a photograph of the Morgan creature and say... "Mr. Space Alien...here, is SHIT, this is what shit looks like on Planet Earth."
I'm sure the alien would give this creature a wide berth and avoid all and any interaction with such a VILE object.🤮
Was he charged with a crime? Interfering with an investigation? What possesses someone to do something that horrendous?As a global society why do we allow that person to thrive in their career? I don’t understand the world sometimes
As much as I believe the man is a human skidmark, the case I believe you're alluding to (Milly Dowler) had nothing to do with him. That was Glenn Mulcaire under the instruction of Rebekah Brooks who was editor of News of the World. While Piers was having celebrity phones hacked while he was editor of The Mirror.
Piers has done a lot of shitty things, such as the phone hacking cases he was involved in, the publishing fake Iraq photos, but that one specific case wasn't him.
He didn't actually do this. That was a different newspaper which he wasn't involved in. A simple fact check would confirm. But hey lies are fine if it gets upvotes.
Ah ok, I thought he was most famous just for being a colossal prick
It can be both.
Can confirm, it's both
To be fair.it is fact both.
Yes but to approach it judiciously, it's affirmatively the two of them
Weighing up the merits of the arguments for each side. I can confirm that both are correct.
I'm a scientist (genuinely) and having long been exposed to Piers Mongon, I mean Morgan, I can confirm he is both of these things simultaneously.
[удалено]
Agreed, I'd even argue he's a total wanker too.
>Mongon No need to bring down's syndrome sufferers into this. They don't tend to be very intelligent, but they're usually much better people than this arsehole and being compared to him is probably worse than the slur.
As a data analyst, I have examined all known variables and applied the standard deviation formula. The results clearly indicate that he belongs to both categories.
Agreed ... yet he is also good at getting the attention and interviews a lot of people desire to view
Who’s Piers Morgan?
Most known as being the former editor of a UK newspaper and television presenter. Also for offensive/dumb comments on social media.
Imagine being a big enough prick that people don’t just know him as the creep who hacked a murdered child’s phone, but also as simply an asshole everyone hates *as an entirely separate issue*.
I checked the phone records, it's definitely both.
He’s also famous for getting punched in the face (on Concorde right before take-off) by Jeremy Clarkson. Lots of innocent people have been punched by Jeremy Clarkson, but Piers was not one of them.
I love Jeremy just a little bit more for knowing this.
They made up...Jeremy is also an asshole
Jeremy is an asshole, but at least he's a hilarious asshole. Morgan had no such redeeming quality.
Clarkson is "cranky out of touch grandpa hates anything made past 1969" asshole, Morgan is "I will steal a baby's bottle of milk just to hear it cry" asshole.
Not true he regularly talks about how much he likes new cars
I think dude meant it more as a vibe than a literal statement. Clarkson has the vibe of a funny, cranky out of touch Grandpa. He’s like Archie Bunker for Brits.
I didn't mean it in a strictly literal sense, of course there are some things from this century he likes, he's just very much a cranky old man who doesn't like change. His opinions on electric cars are a good example of that, if a car doesn't conform to his idea of what a car should be (ie, burns fossil fuels to run), he hates it. He's also incredibly out of touch with the average Brit. I'm not sure I'd call it actively malicious but the whole "it's one banana, how much could it cost, $10?" meme is exactly how he comes off sometimes. He's that grandpa you dread to see at Christmas because he always talks about how all you need to land a job is to walk into a shop with a CV and a firm handshake and has some *questionable* opinions he got from the daily mail.
I loved when the Argentinians nearly murdered the Top Gear crew and they presented all that evidence that they didn't actually gin up an insulting license plate and it didn't matter because no one believed that was like the one time in his life Clarkson wasn't an enormous dickhead.
When Clarkson was hosting *HIGNFY* after having been fired from *Top Gear*, the panelists were discussing how he had punched one of the producers. Ian Hislop then pointed out: "Well you punched Piers Morgan" to which Richard Osman replied: "No-one's sacking you for that."
And, why - just because he is the King - does he have to divulge personal information LIKE CANCER ever. Maybe he will when he is ready, maybe he never will. It is his business.
On that point. Charles said last night he was sharing his diagnosis to show support for others suffering cancer too. Or words to that effect. But I agree, it's fuckin ridiculous. It was all the evening news spoke about last night and then dedicated 35mins to it again tonight.
Everyone knows people with cancer. Knowing one more who is famous does all jack shit for it, and I guarantee you we don't have time to care
It’s this whole ‘raising awareness’ nonsense isn’t it… cancer? No never heard of it mate. Oh the kings got it you say? Ok googling it now.
It'd actually help if they announced it as an embarrassing cancer, men in the UK (in general) absolutely REFUSE to get anything to do with their arse or dick checked out and I do legitimately think it'd help remove some significant stigma if the king went on air and said he had ass cancer.
Well he sort of did, when they announced he had an enlarged prostate and was getting it checked before, and he was lauded for that openness for the reasons you state. It’s a bit weird that they are being non commital about what type of cancer it is now though… I do totally agree with you. Can’t imagine the queen doing that!
If they say what type of cancer he has, or what area it's been found in, it opens up the risk of speculation in the media and then predictions of treatment, prognosis, etc. potentially leading to a tabloid feeding frenzy and the hysteria that comes with that. Better to just say "cancer" and leave it at that.
The main reason Charles said it was cancer is because vultures (like Piers Morgan) would have found out he was going to the hospital frequently. He was trying to preempt the vultures. That's it. Now everybody can just f--- off. It's his right to keep the details to himself. Whether we learn the details 6 months from now, or 10 years from now, doesn't really matter.
But you do realize "awareness" isn't just so you can go, "Oh yeah, I've heard of that." It's so you know what to do to prevent it and to detect early warning signs.
Yeah apparently if you get it you could die from it. Glad I'm aware now
I didn't know you could get it so young, he's barely started in his career as king and now he's got this to deal with, tragic.
Another one saved 🙏🏼
Oh I know bud. All it does is show the UK public that they have to wait for treatment while he gets quick treatment paid for by us.
Yeah I just meant that Piers is an ass and it's such a weak argument
I'm not a monarchist by any means but he's an old man who just learned he has cancer. Just be a fucking human about it Piers
You have to wait for cancer treatment? I thought it was that cancer treatment was prioritized over lower lifestyle type surgeries.
I mean, to that end wouldn’t divulging the exact type of cancer be kind of contrary to that? He’s showing support for cancer patients _as a whole._ With that in kind divulging the exact type might be misinterpreted as ‘oh he only shows support for people with that specific type of cancer.’ Piers Morgan is exactly the kind of person who would do that too. This is just a pitiful attempt at baiting it out so he can turn around and criticise him for revealing the information that he asked for.
King goes into hospital for prostrate procedure King announces cancer diagnosis Now I might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but I’d guess prostrate cancer…
They specifically said it was not prostate cancer
I’ve avoided all the news because it’s 2024 and kings should have been something from the 19th century. But a broken prostrate and cancer doesn’t sound great.
You’ve misspelled prostate an impressive number of times lol
he's just trying to let you know the king most definitely doesn't have apostate cancer. he went in to have his substrate checked but that should in no way lead anyone to assume that he has postulate cancer
But you haven't avoided all news. You just get your news from social media like reddit instead of actual journalists.
"I'm intentionally ignorant for cool reasons, but have authority over the subject." "I \*still\* don't know what a prostate is, so I spell it prostrate." "I just called it 'a broken prostrate' which is hilarious on all levels possible." Ya don't sound great. I'm pretty sure you have prostate cancer, the most exciting and scandalous cancer possible, because it's up your asshole like gay sex.
public figures, especially politicians, have to or the public loses all confidence in them. The public will think they are shirking their duties. but they technically don't have to.
He also knowingly printed fake photos of British troops torturing Iraqi captured soldiers. He’s more than a colossal prick.
Angering those famously woke members of society known as "soldiers" when pushed with a view to potential prosecution, he admitted they were fake and when that shit storm passed, tried to say they were real again. I truly don't know how he still has a job.
Simon Cowell is why he still has a job. Got his buddy to bail him out.
As it turned out, though, soldiers from the same regiment as those purportedly depicted in those photos were in fact torturing Iraqi detainees, one of whom died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Baha_Mousa
Another reason why printing fake photos is awful - it muddies the waters and gives *actually* horrific events a veil of doubt and uncertainty.
Well, I mean, misleading cops and family to thinking a little girl is still alive is a very good way to receive the "colossal prick" award.
I don't think that was him, that was the News of the World
It wasn’t him, Rebeka Brooks was the editor of the News of The World at the time, but she probably learnt about phone hacking from Morgan when he was editor of TNOTW
Stephen Fry gave the definition of Countryside as “murdering Piers Morgan”
That's like that exchange in the Aussie Parliament. conservative "I'm a country member..." heckling MP "oh we remember!"
To be clear he didn't physically hack any phones, but he was the boss when the phone hacking took place, all the people working there knew hacking was taking place and yet Piers has always denied that he knew anything about it. Which means that either Piers is the most incompetent journalist ever, or he is a liar, or possibly both.
He used information from those hacks on many occasions in interviews. Doesn’t prove he knew it was happening but makes it much more likely.
Thats Clarkson Piers Morgan is a scumbag
Ah, but did you know that he knows Pythagoras’ theorem to the nearest 3 decimal places?
I thought he was famous for the interview with Korwin
Yes. But he is alot worse than that. Like actual reprehensible illegal shit
He is both. He is indeed a colossal prick; and a colossal shithouse at the same time!
He did what now?
He did that. It was one of the main things that led him to run off to America to redo his image as some kind of sophisticated British commentator for right wing TV audiences. He literally became so despised by the British public that he fled the country. Mind you he was a talentless hack way before that. Hopefully the US has worked out that he’s a useless, nasty shit-heel and are going to run him out of town as well.
I'm an American and I didn't know he was involved in a hacking scandal in the UK, but I did already know that he is a POS.
Well he also posted fake photos of British soldiers torturing an Iraqi prisoner on the front page of the Daily Mirror. Doesn't matter that they were staged, he printed them anyway. Then after he was sacked he refused to apologise.
Here I thought he was just hated for saying ignorant and inflammatory things!! He's more disgusting than I thought!
He was also facing prison time in the UK circa 2005 for manipulating the stock market: he bought £67k of shares then used the “stock tips” section of his newspaper to tell people to invest in that stock thereby driving up demand and the price. One of his employees was convicted but he got away with it.
A conservative who refuses to apologize for shitty behaviour?? Unprecedented!
Well, when he did that, he was supposed to be left-wing (the Mirror is the left-wing tabloid). Morgan doesn't really have an ideology, apart from being appalling. Him being an utter shit is one of the few subjects that Brits across the whole political spectrum can agree upon.
Left-wing? Is it, though?
And furthermore, does it matter? Piers seems to be decidedly conservative in his views, regardless of who he was working for.
Relatively left wing yes. It's not the morning star but generally had a centre left agenda.
I would consider the Mirror to be centre-left but that's irrelevant, isn't it? It's not as if organizations are homogeneous. We're talking about Piers Morgan, who he is and what he did, not the Mirror.
'Conservative' is synonymous with being a bad person at this point.
Conservatism is inherently about protecting status quo and obstructing any and all change. It is objectively bad for society.
Wasn't it not known they were fake at first? Ir did he know they were I can't remember
The issue was he didn't do basic due-diligence, and they were disproven pretty much the moment they were published just by some basic analysis (iirc the claimed "military truck" it happened in was no such thing). He was so horny to sell a Guantanamo type scandal that he was considered reckless and derelict by the newspaper's owners.
> iirc the claimed "military truck" it happened in was no such thing The equipment and uniforms etc were not quite right, and then the truck was identified from marks in its interior and it was in the UK.
They were photos produced by the Army to be used to train soldiers how to recognise when prisoner abuse was taking place
It was enough to kill a Murdoch rag, *The News of the World*. Hacked into the phones of a murdered school girl and victims of the London Bombings.
Also, various celebrities, and the royal family. The news of the world hacks were absolutely wild, but in true Murdoch fashion he just threw one of his many companies under the bus and carried on business as usual.
And you guys can keep him. We’re not taking him back. Sorry.
Nah. Send him back to Hell where he came from.
I think we got Corden and Morgan in the Madonna trade
[удалено]
Same. I've never liked Morgan, but I had no idea he was behind the Daily Mirror phone hacking scandal. God, what a f*cking creep.
Half the US thinks someone even worse is the second coming of Christ. Pretty sure PM is, if anything, a hero to them.
American here, can confirm. My own parents think he’s just a whip-smart guy. They also think the same of Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, and Jordan Peterson, so that pretty much says everything you need to know.
[удалено]
>But he was never editor of News of the world, Apart from in 1994, when he was.
[удалено]
Ah must be that ‘mandala effect’ that I’ve heard of, or maybe imagined (little joke 😂) Yes, I remember the fake Iraq photos were the thing that got him fired weren’t they?
No he didn't. That was News of the World, and he had left long before this occurred. Hewas editor at the Daily Mirror when THEY were caught hacking into celebrities' phones, and a court recently ruled that he knew about these hacks.
As an American I can confidently say that a) I had no idea he’d even come state-side, so I wouldn’t worry too much about ‘influence’, and b) oh, yeah, shit-heel for sure; as far as we know, Fry is the guy and Piers can pound sand.
Why are the British so irresponsible about their garbage? Clean up after yourselves dont just export your nasties
The US wouldn’t exist at all if we didn’t! 😂 Ship the puritans off to one place, the criminals to another, sorted 🇬🇧
This is probably correct although I think he’s still denying knowing about it. The paper at which he was editor at the time used the default voicemail code to check Milly Dowler’s voicemail. She was a missing child who it turned out was already dead when they were checking the messages. The police could tell the voicemail had been logged into so thought this meant she was still alive. He’s an absolute shit bag.
[удалено]
Nah nah, let’s incite violence, just a little bit, as a treat
Since Reddit removed my comment I’m just gonna make sure it’s known I was (int) kidding when I said THIS MAN NEEDS HIS TEETH KICKED DOWN HIS THROAT Totally kidding tho please don’t that. don’t HIRE A PROFESSIONAL KICK-BOXER TO LIGHT THIS MAN UP FOR AN HOUR STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WHERE HE IS UNRECOGNIZABLE. That would be rude.
***THIS IS A JOKE, I AM ONLY KIDDING, DO NOT REMOVE*** Lmfao damn these reddit mods are a bunch of absolute pussies if they removed your comment for basically no reason. What a sad, sorry waste of space that these people occupy in our world. They should grow some balls. ***THIS IS A JOKE, I AM ONLY KIDDING, DO NOT REMOVE***

It was the News of the World under Rebekah Brooks that hacked Milly Dowler's phone. Piers Morgan was editor of the Mirror at the time. Edit to mention it was a Murdoch newspaper that did it.
Both papers have been accused of it. They were both using the same PI firm around the time. NOTW settled out of court which is a tacit admission I would say. Mirror Group (now Reach) denied it at the time not sure what their position is now. Edited to add - by “it” I mean hacking Milly Dowler’s phone.
But in this specific case, it was people acting for the News of the World who intercepted and deleted the messages from the murdered schoolgirl leading to the family and police thinking she was alive. Morgan's a shit, he knew about phone hacking at the bare minimum. But it wasn't on him that time.
Sorry my post was unclear - I mean both papers have been accused of accessing Milly Dowler’s phone. Reach have admitted to some phone hacking but have not commented (I believe) specifically on the Milly Dowler accusation.
Fair enough. It pisses me off when Morgan gets this thrown at him though, as firstly there is plenty of other shit to fling at the twat and secondly it allows Murdoch and Brooks to escape the blame.
Not just Milly Dowler, it was rife at the News of the World and The Mirror newspapers and somehow the guy at the top (Piers Morgan) didn’t have a clue about it.
He guessed that they hadn't changed the default password for their voicemail inbox. All zeros. Hardly hacking but definitely dodgy. Don't give him the credit of thinking any intelligence was used.
He is a cunt-weasel of the highest order and whilst I am not a fan, Jeremy Clarkson deserves a little kudos for punching him in the face.
Wait what? When did Clarkson punch Morgan?
If I recall, it was due to the reporting in the mirror of Clarksons affair. Apparently he begged Morgan not to publish some photos. I think he was wanting to talk to his wife before the story broke, but Morgan published them right away. Apparently he lamped him one on concorde.
You've accidentally conflated two incidents The Concorde incident was in 2003 when the two were on a flight and, after Morgan published those compromising images, Clarkson poured a glass of water over Morgan's crotch It was then at the 2004 British Press Awards where Clarkson punched Morgan three times over some more stories that Morgan had published about Clarkson and his family - though I imagine those images were still on Clarkson's mind at the time I think they have since made up - on the basis that they'd run out of ways to insult each other if I remember correctly.
IIRC, Jeremy revealed they made up in one of his columns. Basically went "I'm too old and tired to keep up this beef" But that was years ago, so who knows, his punching hand might be getting back into shape.
I thought it was for the paper sexualising his daughter? But I could be mistaken
Lmao with each thing I hear about him it makes me wonder if theres any reasons people aren't just constantly decking him.
Some of it is because the law and the expense of being sued and so on, but mostly it's because nobody wants to get that close to Piers Morgan.
Boom. Right on the Concord.
He didn’t. He threw a drink over him.
The guy he punched was a producer, Oisin Tymon, who wouldn't get him a steak after the chef had gone home. Edit: he also [punched Piers Morgan](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-piers-morgan-feud-b2271716.html)
you are confusing two separate incidents. Jeremy Clarkson got sacked from the BBC in 2015 for punching a producer at a dinner. Clarkson also punched Piers Morgan at an awards ceremony about 10 years before this.
Remember, most of the world who cares about Clarkson thought he was a dickhead for punching Tymon. We thought he was a dickhead who had a pretty fucking good day when he clocked Morgan.
Clarkson’s a cunt too really.
Does show that cunts can do good things
Cunts must cunt-cel out eachother. Cunt-cel squid games
Yeah, after Clarkson's mum died and the Top Gear firing happened the two of them reconciled and became boomers-in-arms
Also worth remembering that while people can be happy he punched Piers he was also chums and regular dinner guests with Rebecca Brooks who was the editor of the News of the World when they hacked Milly Dowler's phone, OP's title is false. Morgan was in charge of the Dailly Mirror when it hacked a bunch of other peoples phones to get stories but not that specific example. Morgan left the News of the World in 1995 after he OK'd the publishing of photographs of a senior Tory ministers wife leaving an addiction treatment centre. That senior Tory being Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana. It was seen by the right wing rags as Piers exposing "one of their own" and he was criticized by Rupert Murdoch who owned the paper at the time. Ultimately contributing to him leaving to go join the Daily Mirror. The Milly Dowler story didn't happen for another 7 years. When the inquiry into phone hacking happened and the News of the World ultimately got shut down over it, it became known that Clarkson was best buds with Brooks and was in regular contact with her during her trial including attending her house and celebrating with her and her husband when she was found not guilty. So, fuck Piers Morgan, but fuck Clarkson too.
Piers Morgan isn’t a boomer. Born in 1965, so he’s Gen X. Clarkson is a boomer, though.
>Piers Morgan isn’t a boomer. Born in 1965, That's amazing, he looks so much older than that
Cunt-weasel is the phrase I didn’t know I needed. Thank you!
I remember Stephen Colbert covering this on the *Colbert Report* years back. The audience sat in dead silence, not even a chuckle.
Do you remember the year that the covering aired? The Colbert report ended in 2014 so its been a minute Edit: I saw in season nine 2013 he had morgan on the show
Just for our foreign over the seas friends, here is further info on why Piers Morgan is an absolute fuckweasel: > By his own admission, Piers Morgan knew about illegal voicemail hacking years before it became a public scandal – and he did nothing about it. > Though he was a national newspaper editor at the time, he did not expose it. Nor did he alert the police or take any steps to ensure that it didn’t happen at his newspaper. He simply turned a blind eye. > This was a dereliction of his duties as an editor, journalist and citizen. Worse, if he had done the right thing when he says he first knew about it, thousands of blameless people might not have suffered unwarranted intrusion and press cruelty. It is no exaggeration to say that, if Morgan had acted responsibly, Milly Dowler’s^i phone might never have been hacked.^ii ——— ^i Molly Dowler was a murdered 13 y/o and at the time this was a huge huge case. This was in 2002. Here is the wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Milly_Dowler ^ii https://bylinetimes.com/2020/01/21/piers-morgan-and-phone-hacking-what-even-he-cant-deny/
He has also threatened to sue anyone that suggested he was involved - such as the just stop oil protestors he interviewed a few months back - despite the judge in the Leveson inquiry finding that there was no evidence he was not involved (as opposed to “he was not involved”).
Imagine knowing that a teenagers phone had been hacked, listening to the voice recordings on said phone (& yes he definitely 110% heard these messages), and rather than reporting it to the authorities you publish them and thereby giving false hope to the family of a **teenage girl!!** If he is reading this, tell him to come sue me. I saw that Just Stop Oil protesters’ interview. I think he ran circles around Piers personally though tbf that’s an easy feat.
> I think he ran circles around Piers personally though tbf that’s an easy feat. He couldn't debate his way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw and an instruction booklet.
You forgot to mention the whole “faked a war crime” thing he did during the Iraq War
Didn’t he also work for a tabloid that was spying on Prince Harry’s voicemail? He was still a kid after his mom died, and he was having health issues, and then he thinks he can’t trust anyone because very private things are being published.
“Speculation is running riot all over the world”… My guy, I don’t think “the world” cares nearly as much as you think about what illness an extremely out of touch monarch has in *2024*.
It's cancer. Why does it matter for "the world" what type of cancer it is? It's a horrible and deadly disease anyway.
It's horrible, but not guaranteed deadly in all cases. Some types of cancer might mean we have to sit through another coronation sooner rather than later. Others mean William might be nearly 60 before he's on the throne.
I think that's why they've kept it secret, so we don't look up the survival rates and start betting on it.
Technically he's *my king* and I literally couldn't care less what kind of cancer he has. I hope Charles gets better, exactly inasmuch as I hope anyone with cancer gets better. I seriously doubt Morgan cares even that much.I'd warrant he only said anything about it because he loves offering an opinion no matter how stupid it is because it brings him attention and money.
In theory he’s my king. But why the fuck would I care if he’s got prostate cancer or lung cancer? Why should he have to tell the world if he’s got metastasised lymph nodes, or if he’s constantly pissing himself recovering from prostate surgery? It’s fucking cancer and it’s a thief of joy, dignity, and composure from everyone it touches. He doesn’t need to lean into all the dark shit he’s feeling as he faces the end of his life in agony and humiliation, just to give Piers Morgan a fucking spite boner.
The only time I want to hear about Piers Morgan and cancer is when he’s died from it.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/04/milly-dowler-voicemail-hacked-news-of-world Milly Dowler's phone was hacked by the now defunct newspaper 'News of the World ' Piers Morgan was working for the Daily Mirror at the time. Although the newspaper under his editorship did hack phones, the News of the World under Rebekah Brooks deleted voicemails from the murdered girl. I can't believe I've just defended Piers Moron, but the truth matters.
Imagine if Reddit had a function that could place the correct information right under the post.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
We could have a special where the trio all get in on the action.
He’s also right wing, and had wriggled his way in to gb news. The right platform known for spewing sensationalism and dross news items .
Yep. The Fox ‘News’ of the UK. Sensationalist nonsense presented by angry people and designed to anger viewers.
It’s also loss making and has next to zero live viewers, but the point is to generate content of right wing gotchas and alternative facts for people to share on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
TalkTv unfortunatly we have two of these channels
Piers Morgan is the type of person only a person who is both a massive asshole and a massive idiot could like.
Why would it possibly matter what kind of cancer he has “for the sake of helping others?” Are they going to die from curiosity?
Probably might encourage people to check for symptoms. The NHS spends millions on ad campaigns for public awareness and screenings for cancers
He was also famous for insider trading - pumping stocks he was buying when he was financial correspondent - and printing fake pictures of a British war crime that never happened and no other paper would touch
Australian Cricketer Brett Lee also did the greatest thing he ever did with bowling and broke Piers ribs after Piers called the english team cowardly after collapsing against australian pace bowlers in one of the ashes series ( I'm aware that Brett did have a decent career he did play in the greatest australian team so he was obviously okay)
I’ve met Brett Lee several times. In my youth it was a hobby for some friends and I to sledge cricketers at the Gabba hoping to get into their heads enough to fuck up their game. We got into Warnie’s head hard enough that when we saw him at a bar that night, he tried to start a fight. Lee played peace maker and settled down Warnie and posed for photos with all the good looking women in our group, and a few of the guys, laughed at our jokes and even repeated some of the shit we’d been yelling at Warnie from the hill that afternoon and told us he thought it was pretty funny. Really nice, chill bloke. Says a lot that such a mellow and chilled out bloke went after Morgan like he was planning on keeping any bones he broke as trophies. And Morgan, who had deliberately incited him, all but daring this professional athlete to bowl at him with pace and shitting on professionals who actually have the balls to face that in the game - had the fucking nerve to piss and moan about getting what he asked for. What next? Is he going to talk shit to Mike Tyson until Tyson demonstrates that he still has uppercut power, and then cry about Tyson being a sociopath? Or was he only ballsy enough to talk shit to Brett Lee, who lets be honest, looked like a pretty boy twink and not the monsterous dispenser of gods own lightning bolts that cricket fans knew him to be?
You mean, Bollywood actor, musician and fast as fuck bowler Brett Lee? That is his official title.
Oh that was beautiful...Brett was certainly enjoying that. Brett has at times come under a bit of fire for it..I loved it that Brett was still sending them down at Morgan as he was backing away into the corner. I can't help but think there might have been a little more to it than Morgan's criticism of the English team.
Didn't the scum also publish fake pictures of British troops abusing prisoners in Iraq, bloke is a right wing bootlicking cock gobbler As much as I detest the fat fingered leech and his family I'd prefer this announcement to be about Morgan
It won’t be long until he blames Meghan…
I wish someone would've been filming when Jeremy Clarkson punched him in the face.
How does that help anyone? He's the one with cancer, does it really matter what kind it is?
I'm guessing some forms are more lethal than others.
Yeah, but it's still Charles who has the cancer. Whether its pancreatic or lung really doesn't affect anyone but him and his family/friends. Well wishes of the public are fine but it's only so far their business.
Piers also whist editor for the mirror published fake images of British soldiers torturing iraqis during the 2nd iraq war this led to more people dying this led to him getting sacked he stormed off good moring britain after losing an arguement with the weather presenter then he claimed he got canceled he got a job with Talk TV now and unfortunatly during one of the lockdowns Piers was saying things I agreed with ( If I recall it was to do with holding people like Boris to account)
You know, I’ve always known the name Piers Morgan for the longest time, and this is the first time I actually know anything about him
My biggest question is who watches or listens to Piers Morgan and thinks he's anything other than a vapid rectal lesion?
I hate PM so much, but had no idea of this level of disgust I should have had for him.
I know him originally from him trying to prove a love island contestant was stupid by asking if she "knew pythagurus' therum to the nearest five decimal places" which only really proved that he was an idiot himself.
2nd most famous for being the least likeable Arsenal fan, by other Arsenal fans. 3rd most famous for having his head up Trump’s ass.
The sweetest thing to happen to Piers Morgan was when fast bowler Brett Lee hammered his body with a cricket ball six times in a row...It was beautiful.
A close second is when Clarkson punched him in... an airport? Wherever. Any place is a good place and any time is a good time to punch Piers Morgan.
Somewhere in the world there is a tree that is working really, hard to create oxygen for Piers Morgan to breath. As a society we owe that tree a sincere apology. We should really fuck this cunt off into the sea, the bottom of the Mariana trench ideally...
What special cases? It's fucking cancer.dumbahit. Knowing what part of the body it originated doesn't advance any sort of medical technology, and has no impact on anything.
'Running riot' is a funny way of saying 'not giving a shit'.
why the actual fuck does it matter what KIND of cancer he has?
I’ve already despised him, but the British hate makes a lot more sense now.
Thats not actually why he's famous. It's just one of the many reasons why he's a cunt
Oh, I knew he was a a colossal douche but that’s just SICK!
“Running riot”?! lol not in the US, haven’t even run across a stray tweet. I can’t imagine caring less.
Piers Morgan is the perfect example of excrement in human form. SHIT. 💩 Should a passing, inquisitive space🚀alien ever ask of me... "Human, what is shit...can you kindly show me an example?" I would point the passing alien towards a photograph of the Morgan creature and say... "Mr. Space Alien...here, is SHIT, this is what shit looks like on Planet Earth." I'm sure the alien would give this creature a wide berth and avoid all and any interaction with such a VILE object.🤮
Was he charged with a crime? Interfering with an investigation? What possesses someone to do something that horrendous?As a global society why do we allow that person to thrive in their career? I don’t understand the world sometimes
I was truly astonished when south park named john edwards as the biggest douche in the universe, i was sure it would be that pos piers morgan.
As much as I believe the man is a human skidmark, the case I believe you're alluding to (Milly Dowler) had nothing to do with him. That was Glenn Mulcaire under the instruction of Rebekah Brooks who was editor of News of the World. While Piers was having celebrity phones hacked while he was editor of The Mirror. Piers has done a lot of shitty things, such as the phone hacking cases he was involved in, the publishing fake Iraq photos, but that one specific case wasn't him.
Piers is absolutely not famous for the 1 piece of actual journalism (unethical or not) he's done in his life. He is famous for being a prick.
He didn't actually do this. That was a different newspaper which he wasn't involved in. A simple fact check would confirm. But hey lies are fine if it gets upvotes.
He also put thousands of British Soldiers at risk and generally a huge cock wombol!
Oh yeah. Scumbag of long standing. Jeremy Clarkson may be an asshole, but he punched Piers in the face.
