Oh, the 'I work with....therefore my posts are credible' line

I didn't say that or insinuate that about being 'credible' and you know it

It does make you question everything even if wrong.

No, because those photos were staged. Piers allowing those faked photos to be published on the front page of a national newspaper just highlights the little due diligence or fact checking that occured with the source and material.

I mean he hung his queen in a game of chess against Andrew Tate when he was trying to show how good he was at chess. That's just his intellectual personality type and his level of incompetance. I'd imagine there was no intended malice in what he did

Perhaps SGF is implying elements of the modern UK legal profession are abject shysters and use their so called professional status for proliferating political and financial shenanigans?

With a goodly number of family members in the so called profession I hear a lot of them moaning that more recent advocates have a much more noticeable political agenda, and a Cavalier attitude to bending things to supporting them.

Maybe SGF meant or implied none of that, I dunno, I'm just musing...

No it's just that we question everything like an insurance company would.
Some people accept stories without thinking about them, I don't.

He's always denied it and he's never been found guilty of it.
He may be a bum but you shouldn't accuse people of something without evidence and not just on hearsay.

It's being implied in court now, if that helps:

Piers Morgan 'injected' information into Prince Harry stories, court told

A former royal reporter says then-editor Piers Morgan took a "really genuine interest" in coverage.

www.bbc.co.uk

Ms Kerr, who worked for the Daily Mirror's royal team from 1996 to 2007, told the High Court that Mr Morgan would add snippets of information into stories she had authored.

Ms Kerr added that Mr Morgan, who was editor of the paper from 1995 to 2004, took a "really genuine interest" in the coverage.

In her written witness statement, Ms Kerr said he "engaged with the Palace press offices and would occasionally direct or inject information into a story".

It helps Piers

In her written witness statement, Ms Kerr said he "engaged with the Palace press offices and would occasionally direct or inject information into a story".

"Where did you get the quotes from Ms Kerr?"
She replied: "I can't say for sure where I got them from, I can't remember - it's possible Piers gave them to me, it's possible the Palace. I don't remember."

She repeatedly said that she could not remember the sources of stories published decades ago.

Some black people use the N word to address another black person, are they are being racist?

Are you seriously trying to tell me you don't know the difference between N*gga and N*gger?

I think it was bad the way Morgan was forced to quit ITV because he didn't agree with a version of Meghan & Harrys story, we should be allowed to think differently.
Good on him for getting 1 million subs, i'm not 1 of them and i very rarely watch his shows but think being able to voice a different opinion is important.

He walked out when the Weatherman said that if Meghan thinks it's racist for not agreeing with her then it is racist.
What a load of nonsense.

Guessing the sexist comments towards the weather lady was alright as well? The day he walked out he should have been asked to either apolgoise for the comments about her dress or leave. The guy epitomises everything that is wrong with the world at the moment.

So you agree that if somebody claims something is racist then it is?

Jimbeam3678 · 9 Jun 2023 at 06:15

No not at all, I am saying the equally important part was overlooked. The guy is a bully, deliberately tries to divide opinion, confrontational among other things, all in the name of entertainment.

I'm not saying it didn't happen but I watched that GMB live, have you got a link to the incident you're on about?
I presume he was talking to Laura Tobin?

He was Editor for the Daily Mirror.
Yes they were part of News International but he had nothing to do with the other papers that were done including The News Of The World.

Who tapped Milly Dowler's phone?

In 2014 Wallis was charged with conspiring to intercept communications, relating to his time as Deputy Editor of the News of the World, after he had left The Sunday People in 2003. In 2015 he appeared at the Old Bailey, where he was cleared after a four-day deliberation by the jury.26 Jan 2020

The high court has decided based on evidence and testimony that he was fully aware of phone hacking.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-67707931

Piers Morgan knew about phone hacking - and was involved - when he was editor of the Daily Mirror, the High Court has ruled.

In a highly significant part of the judgment, Mr Justice Fancourt lists times when Morgan was said to have been aware of phone hacking - and the evidence had not been contested. He also said that he found evidence about Morgan’s involvement to be credible and it had not been countered by the Mirror Group.

During a key part of the case, the now royal author Omid Scobie recalled an incident he had witnessed when he was a student intern at the newspaper group, working on its “3am Girls” entertainment desk.

He told the court that in 2002 he had witnessed Morgan discuss an article about Kylie Minogue and Morgan, the then editor, had asked the journalist how confident they were about the story. Morgan was told, Scobie recalled, that the source had been a voicemail.

Mr Justice Fancourt said that recollection was supported by evidence of an invoice from a private investigator related to obtaining Minogue’s mobile phone number and that of her then partner, James Gooding.

Scobie said that the incident had stuck in his mind because it had influenced the decisions he made about what kind of journalist he wanted to be.

Today, the judge said:

I found Mr Scobie to be a straight-forward and reliable witness and I accept what he said about Mr Morgan’s involvement in the Minogue/Gooding story.

No evidence was called by MGN to contradict it.”

That link goes nowhere?

So in other words still no proof only that the Judge thought the other bloke was a reliable witness.
As you probably know I work with Court cases every day and that statement would just raise shoulders.
So if you hate Piers Morgan then he did it and if you're not bothered about him then he did or didn't or where's the proof?
