He was a massive embarrassment for the swastica thing and deserved a slap round the head and some serious education about 20th century history and his family’s part in it. But to bring it up 20 years later when the guy has quite clearly fucking learnt from it is the mark of a twat.

So you're calling me a twat because I disagree with you? Very lovely of you.

That isn't very gracious at all tbh, I haven't called you any names and that is out of order.

EDIT: Actually I have requested previously that you don't respond to my posts because you have displayed an alarming lack of consideration towards me and been rude to me in the past. Please don't call me names again.

That’s just Piss Morgan’s thing though. It’s not real, it’s manufactured schtik for tv, like that Jeremy Kyle arse crack.

I know, I said so above. He’s still a cunt, real and pantomime.

You didn’t bring it up it was Petcha Stop reaching for the hurt feelings

Anyone who has done anything slightly dodgy in their distant past is not allowed to complain about racism against their wife now. Sorry, that's just the rules.

When I was growing up in a small Irish town I used the N and P words without consideration, I thought Jim Davidson, including his Chalky White sketch, was hilarious. I was racist, I was ignorant to race, I was 12, 13 or 14 before I actually saw a black person. I'm a very different man now but I can't change how I was back then.

You Quoted My Post

 

[Petcha]

Sacked for publishing fake pictures of British soldiers abusing Iraqis, massively putting the lives of British soldiers at risk of extreme reprisals, yet he’s now rebranding himself as defender of the Monarchy? Pretty sure the forces-adoring queen thinks he’s a grade A cunt an’all.

Let's not forget the phone hacking. If you haven't seen him getting his arse handed him to this morning by Alex Beresford it's quite hilarious considering the shit he gives every cabinet minister who appears on his show. I've not seen one of them flounce off like that.

Oh. That doesn’t always mean the entirety is directed at you.

I am NOT reaching for any hurt feelings, you quoted my post and ended it by saying anyone who brings it up has the mark of a twat.

How in the hell am I supposed to realise that isn't somehow aimed at me?

 

[Petcha]

You Quoted My Post

Yes, it was me - sorry I was flicking through Twitter and saw that point being made.

 

[Looby]

He was a kid ffs.

I don’t think that excuse is valid for wearing a fucking nazi uniform tbh but he’s also allowed to change and grow which he seems to have done.

 

[Epona]

Well don't fucking quote me and then use the word twat then, it isn't rocket science.

 

[Epona]

Also you could just apologise instead of saying that I am using an excuse to reach for hurt feelings - whatever the fuck that means. You could have just said "so sorry, I wasn't aiming that comment at you" but you upped the rudeness instead. Just (as I have requested before) please do not reply to my posts.

I disagree with that I think. I think there’s space for a genuine question and interest as to what a mixed race child might look like. That’s probably quite normal actually. What’s important is how it was said and why, in what context. The fact that H&M have mentioned it points to the fact that they thought it was racist, so it pretty much certainly was.

When my wife and I got together it was a question my Mum asked me.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

...and that's the most offensive thing about it. The contempt for the audience implicit in this sort of performance.

Well, people will watch that shite. I've seen a few posts on FB from leftist pages quoting and making some sort of hero of Morgan because he's been tough on the government over covid. A lot of folk seem to forget the very nasty shit he was involved in.

This is fair enough. Sorry Epona

When I learned I had a mixed race kid it was pretty close to the top of the list of my own first questions. "What does he look like?" by which I meant "How dark is he?"

Because British soldiers would never abuse Iraqi civilians and it's only fake news that made them all angry.

I think PM is a twat, but back then the Mirror was the only tabloid that questioned the US and British war in Iraq. That they were provided with fake pictures of alleged abuse with British Army vechicles (that could be subsequently ID's as never having left the UK in the background) was a bit sus and did smell a bit like a set up.

My kids like their mother are mixed race but I wasn't so much concerned by how dark they would be but more I wanted to be sure they would look like their mother rather than me.

Isn't it just giving audienes what they want? I know it's fashionable around these parts to pour scorn on the production of such shows and those who consume them but you and I yesterday admitted a sneaking fascination with the kind of folk that ring into Talk Radio.

This is more of the same isn't it?

I was (and still am) very anti the Iraq war(s), war is hideous and ugly in every respect. Morgan stirring the pot like that with fake pictures, he knew it would inflame tensions in the area, he knew the result would be more attacks, he didn't give a fuck, he wanted to sell papers, screw the lives of the British soldiers he put at risk, screw the lives of the enraged Iraqis who would attempt to harm coalition forces as payback and end up dead, fuck everything except making money, he's an odious cunt.

I always love an opportunity to say I got a chance to call PM a cunt to his face back in the early 00's, pints in hand, standing in front of one another it was around the time when Sue Carroll called/likened Naomi Campbell a chocolate soldier.

Please don't abbreviate, each time you post this anecdote I get a wave of messages asking me if it's true

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

He should have checked, as that was his job.

 

[IC3D]

That could save the nation’s finances, there’s nowhere to get anything to eat there once you’ve slogged across a park or down The Mall, maybe a KFC drive-thru could be slotted in to the carriage entrance too?

It's literally called The Mall, stick a TK Maxx and a JD Sports there too.

There was a time when I would have loved the chance to have done so, but again.. I'm a changed man and have nothing but respect for you.

 

[killer b]

lots of great scoops have taken similar gambles and turned out to be real. at the end of the day there's a limited amount of checking that's really possible on stories like that, and the editor has to make a judgement call - he called it wrong, and lost his job. But there is literally no way he would have published unless he was convinced they were real.

Well, no, and yes.

Sure, there's something compelling about this kind of awfulness. And those of us who give in to that are complicit to a degree.

...but I'm more thinking of the well-educated metropolitan types (Morgan, Liddle, Kyle etc etc) who perform these vulgar characters. It's fake, it's sneering, it's utterly contemptuous of those they're exploiting (us the audience and whoever they're targeting their pantomime bigotry on).

Yeah, the audience has agency too, but not the platform or power to set the agenda that these charlatans do.

Note how rapidly Morgan showed his "real" liberal self the moment the issue of the day (Covid) got a bit too close to home for comfort.

I assumed that was just opportunism too tbh
