Piers Morgan on TalkTV gets one million subscribers.

Though Morgan can be entertaining I'll never get past his involvement in the phone hacking scandal, especially when a company operating on the orders of the newspaper he was editor of, were hacking in to the voice messages of Milly Dowlers parents, after she had gone missing and found murdered by Levi Bellfield.

It’s showing prejudice towards someone based on their skin colour. The very definition of racism.

No it's a descriptor, just as in describing someone as black because they have black skin, isn't racist.

It's a term going back hundreds of years to describe the stereotypical red faced, angry, pompus, jingoistic right wing male. It's just now modern right wing males have also turned into the biggest bunch of thin skinned delicate ice crystals, that they now get upset by it and try to cry "racism" <LOL> :cry:

Whilst having no issues with being called a "gammon" whatsoever, (or racial slurs in general), could you at least try and get your spelling correct when flinging the insults?

It's pompous, not pompus.

Verbatim of your post of 6.00 am today about some film called Guardians of the Galaxy ;)

It's true! You'll should listen to me because I'm amazing, but don't bother listening to anyone else, they're all talking *****.

What I should say is a discussion on a forum is fine, IMO, but I question the value of just listening to someone else rant on when you can't get involved.

I think you just have to accept 99% of journalists and newspaper editors are corrupt and corruptible.

I used to have a car accessory shop on Deansgate in Manchester and a few journalists from the Manchester Evening News and Guardian, (yes, THAT Guardian...), would come in. One day one came in wearing a dark suit and a black tie to tell me that Tom, a regular shopper at the store, had died. He said he was off to the funeral to "screw him into the ground". I must have looked vacant so he helped me out.

"We journalists aren't buried, we're that bent we get screwed into the ground like corkscrews".

I think he was 100% serious :)

Even if you believe that to be true, i'm not sure that justifies what Piers, Brooks and Co did in any way and to be honest, i'm amazed people are happy to turn a blind eye and lap up his drivel. It's a shame Clarkson's punches only left a scar...

In this post someone desperately tries to justify racism being okay when it's used against white men
