Seeing things pan out I can see the Harry Nazi thing being an immature fuck you to his family at the time.

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.

British soldiers taking part in an illegal invasion that resulted in the deaths of up to one million Iraqis probably put them at more risk of attack than Piers Morgan. Don't give him more credit than he's due.

Contempt for protocols is excellent behaviour in my point of view

Mine too, but probably not what the Royal Family as an institution would look for in a pprospective spouse for one of their members.

There is also an apparent contrast between Meghan and Kate in this regard, although perhaps the latter is equally contemptuous of protocols and just hides it better.

And there's some potential overlap, in some people's minds, between contempt for protocols and negative stereotypes of black behaviour.

Anyway, in the interests of journalism and free speech here's a video of Morgan falling off a Segway, breaking three ribs and puncturing a lung.

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.

All he had to do was show them to someone from the armed forces, either serving or recently retired, they would have known straight away. That is one of the core responsibilities of his job and he failed to do it because he was so keen for it to be real, to get the scoop and rake in the lucre that he failed to check.

There’s also some great footage out there of him batting against cricketers, who really let him have it

Except we (well at least some of us) know or have known people in the armed forces who cannot and do not speak about things that they are aware of, I wouldn't view someone who was in the armed forces as likely or maybe able to give a truthful account of anything (and the people I have known who have been in that sort of situation of secrecy, it often weighs heavy on them - but they aren't going to start talking about it to anyone).

His brother's a Colonel in the Army so I doubt his intention was to put soldiers at risk. He was against the war, I think it was as simple as that.

Whoops.

Not puncturing it enough, obviously.
Those ribs had one fucking job...

Brett Lee turned him over.

[ska invita]

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

If you do something for show and reactions long enough it bleeds into who you really are , and instead of just being an incensere wind up merchant before you know it you end up as a fully fledged cunt

 

[Spymaster]

... incensere ...

How the fuck did you manage that?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

His brother's a Colonel in the Army so I doubt his intention was to put soldiers at risk. He was against the war, I think it was as simple as that.

Of course it wasn't his intention, he just didn't care. Editors have a responsibility to be accurate and truthful, news organisations are powerful and when in their haste to fulfil an agenda they fail to be accurate and truthful the consequences can be quite heavy. His bosses realised that, which is why they sacked him.

I tend to think of this when I see Morgan:

Piers Morgan, former Daily Mirror editor, used his wife's savings account to fund part of a £67,000 investment in computer company Viglen a day before the shares were tipped by the paper's City Slickers column, a court was told yesterday.

At 12.33pm on January 17, 2000, 6,884 Viglen shares worth £12,805.12 were bought through a personal equity plan in the name of his wife, Marion, defence barrister Philip Hackett QC told Southwark crown court. At 12.45pm he used his own Pep to buy a further 19,632 shares, worth £36,074.05. Then at 3.28pm Mr Morgan spent a further £18,275.25 on 10,000 shares, through brokers Kyte Securities.

Mirror editor 'bought £67,000 of shares before they were tipped'

He was cleared though so nothing wrong there oh no.

He fucked up and lost his job, yep. I doubt the process of checking was quite as straightforward as you'd like it to have been though.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

I was just wondering what it must do to peoples' heads to listen to that sort of shit and enjoy it

Like scratching a scab.

Except scratching a scab can actually be pleasurable.

The Mirror campaigned forcefully against the war from the start - I agree it may have put UK soldiers lives at risk but personally I backed the publication of them given he was under the belief they were genuine. Regardless it turned out to be a good career move as after his sacking his broadcasting career began and whatever you think of him he's been pretty successful in that.

Judging by the military bods on here who seem to be able to recognise camouflage patterns of uniforms of pretty much every military force in the world, I think they would be able to spot if the truck in Iraq where the abuse was photographed was of a type that hadn't been to Iraq. Anyway, bit of a derail, he's a cunt on many levels, including his attitude towards these royal twonks.

The one that's on LBC before Ferrari, on his last legs by all accounts, but my lord, what a bag of bile and spite that man is.

it was actually parked about 10 minutes walk from where I'm sitting right now iirc

 

[not-bono-ever]

Sooner have people acknowledge that maybe their formative years contained some shite but have moved on. Can’t fully blame youngsters for taking in what surrounds them

 

[Treacle Toes]

Btw.....there is a difference with being 'curious' as to what a child may look like, in terms of features that include skin tone and being 'concerned' about it. The later is based in colourism and how value is attributed to 'Whiter' complexions.

'Concern' is colourism at work.

Curiousity isn't colourism and for those of us that come from multi-ethnic families genetics and how they manifest can be fascinating.

Also, it’s shows a terrible ignorance to ask what colour a foetus is as if they’d know

I've never had much idea about the rules of cricket, but I do like the way the bowler never aimed for the stumps

Exactly...and in the way it was asked we know it is with the sub text 'hopefully not too dark'...

 

[D'wards]

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.

Exactly- if we don't encourage people to apologise and learn from past mistakes then why should people bother to try and improve themselves?

Wow - I hadn't heard of that!
If it was the first of the scans, they could have answered "almost transparent - like your racism".
