1. Taking
the
Piers!
Why
is
it
that
Piers
Morgan
pushes
people
so
hard
that
they
snap
and
even
the
most
light
hearted
of
comedians
can
be
taken
to
a
high
level
of
anger
and
fury?
When
looking
at
Mr.
Morgan
we
all
share
the
same
opinion,
don’t
we?
How
does
he
keep
getting
away
with
it?
If
it
is
not
Publishing
images
from
something
as
trivial
as
an
alleged
Jeremy
Clarkson
love
affair,
he
is
almost
starting
WW3
with
the
publication
of
photographs
about
Iraqi
prisoners
being
abused
by
British
soldiers.
Like
many
of
his
stories,
these
were
seen
to
be
false
and
the
fake
images
are
what
brought
him
to
the
end
of
his
eventful
Daily
Mirror
career.
What
I
am
desperate
to
find
the
answers
to
are
why
he
does
not
get
punished
further
and
why
do
companies
still
employ
this
person
that
is
frowned
upon
by
the
majority
of
the
media
and
public?
This
dismissal
did
not
put
an
end
to
Morgan’s
controversy.
When
looking
at
Morgan
escaping
punishment,
the
Phone
hacking
scandal
is
a
perfect
example.
Louise
Mensch,
the
MP
for
Corby
recently
said
that
Piers
Morgan
admitted
to
being
part
of
phone
hacking
and
even
bragged
that
it
won
him
an
award.
She
explained
it
was
during
a
culture,
media
and
sport
select
committee
hearing
that
they
both
went
to.
The
allegation
of
phone
hacking
was
concerning
Sven
Goran
Eriksson,
the
former
England
manager
for
the
national
football
side.
She
later
misquoted
one
of
his
lines
out
of
the
book
‘The
Insider’
published
by
Morgan
in
2005.
Piers
sprung
out
to
correct
her
and
make
her
look
foolish.
I
however
still
see
this
to
be
true
and
do
see
Piers
as
someone
who
would
brag
about
something
as
serious
as
phone
hacking.
He
later
denied
any
wrongdoing
and
even
the
police
found
him
to
be
clear
of
any
charges
when
they
asked
him
in
for
questioning
concerning
the
matter.
The
allegations
made
by
journalist
and
comedian
Ian
Hislop
supported
this
idea
of
inappropriate
behaviour
by
Piers
Morgan.
In
1996,
they
both
featured
on
‘Have
I
Got
News
For
You’
a
quiz
show
about
current
topics
in
the
news.
Hislop
accused
Morgan
of
having
him
followed
and
his
house
being
watched.
The
conflict
went
so
far
that
the
host
of
the
show,
Angus
Deayton,
suggested
that
the
two
should
go
outside
and
fight
it
out.
The
argument
carried
on
further
and
Hislop
went
on
insinuate
that
people
did
not
like
Morgan.
After
the
show
Piers
apparently
said
to
Hislop
that
he
would
be
getting
‘New
Neighbours’.
Adding
to
the
idea
of
Piers
having
him
watched.
Before
the
events
leading
up
to
the
well-‐known
‘’City
Slickers’’
case,
there
was
a
separate
incident
surrounding
Morgan’s
headline
for
the
Mirror,
"Achtung
Surrender!
For
You
Fritz
Ze
Euro
Championship
Is
Over".
One
day
prior
to
England
2. against
Germany
in
a
semi-‐final
of
the
Euro
'96
football
championships.
Justin
Dunn
in
fact
wrote
the
story
but
the
headline
was
not
necessary
at
all.
What
happened
to
Piers
after
this
incident
I
hear
you
ask?
Of
course
he
had
to
apologise
on
television
and
that
was
the
end
of
that.
Could
any
other
journalist
get
away
with
a
headline
of
this
nature?
Absolutely
not.
This
was
very
inappropriate
and
links
well
to
the
idea
of
Louise
Mensch’s
claim
that
he
hacked
Sven
Goran
Eriksson’s
phone.
The
‘’City
Slickers’’
case
in
2000
was
where
Morgan
bought
£20,000
worth
of
shares
in
the
computer
company
Viglen
soon
before
the
Mirror
's
"City
Slickers"
column
tipped
Viglen,
as
a
good
buy
is
an
example
on
his
corrupt
nature.
This
is
where
he
uses
his
power
and
influence
within
the
media
to
his
advantage
rather
than
providing
a
service
to
the
public.
After
being
found
out,
no
serious
action
was
taken.
Why?
Morgan
was
found
by
the
Press
Complaints
Commission
to
have
breached
the
Code
of
Conduct
on
financial
journalism,
but
kept
his
job.
Perhaps
it
was
cases
such
as
these
that
led
to
the
eventual
closing
down
of
the
regulatory
body
and
that
they
were
too
soft
on
journalists.
Why
did
he
keep
his
job
but
Anil
Bhoyrul
and
James
Hipwell,
the
columnists
behind
the
City
Slickers
were
seen
as
breaching
the
codes
of
practice
and
fired
just
before
the
enquiry
came
to
an
end.
In
2004,
further
enquiry
by
the
Department
of
Trade
and
Industry
resulted
in
saying
that
Morgan
would
not
face
charges
whereas
On
the
7th
December
2005
Bhoyrul
and
Hipwell
were
convicted
of
conspiracy
to
breach
the
Financial
Services
Act.
During
the
trial
it
emerged
that
Morgan
had
in
fact
bought
£67,000
worth
of
Viglen
shares,
emptying
his
bank
account
and
investing
under
his
wife's
name
too.
£67,000!
This
was
more
than
three
times
as
much
as
what
was
first
believed.
Investing
under
his
wife’s
name!
You
just
couldn’t
make
it
up.
How
is
it
that
Morgan
is
never
found
guilty?
Why
does
he
find
himself
in
these
situations
yet
he
is
never
to
blame?
2004
was
an
eventful
year
as
it
was
later
found
out
that
Sven
Goran
Eriksson’s
phone
was
hacked
and
over
a
four-‐year
period
that
exposed
his
sex
life.
Greg
Miskiw,
a
news
editor,
tasked
the
specialist
hacker
Glenn
Mulcaire
to
hack
Eriksson.
As
the
newspaper
News
of
the
World
came
crashing
down,
many
of
their
employees
were
seen
to
be
guilty
of
phone
hacking
and
even
pleaded
so
when
under
investigation.
Neville
Thurlbeck,
Greg
Miskiw
and
James
Weatherup
all
followed
Rebekah
Brooks
and
Andy
Coulson
to
appear
before
a
judge.
Where
was
Piers
Morgan,
a
former
editor
of
the
Sunday
paper?
3. When
looking
at
all
the
conflict
that
surrounds
Piers
Morgan,
one
story
in
particular
stands
out.
The
way
he
dealt
with
the
images
concerning
fellow
journalist
and
presenter
Jeremy
Clarkson
and
their
long
running
feud.
As
many
of
you
may
well
know
this
resulted
in
a
turn
of
events
that
ended
up
Clarkson
hitting
Morgan,
which
to
this
day
many
find
very
amusing.
Back
when
Piers
was
working
for
the
Mirror,
he
obtained
some
imagery
that
was
concerning
Jeremy
Clarkson
and
they
were
of
him
kissing
another
woman.
According
to
the
Guardian,
Piers
dealt
with
his
in
a
good
way
after
a
very
emotional
phone
call
with
Clarkson.
Morgan
apparently
went
‘soft’
after
this,
which
many
and
I
find
very
hard
to
believe.
After
supposedly
kissing
the
same
woman
again
in
the
years
following
the
first
sighting,
Morgan
then
went
and
ran
the
story
hard,
which
aggravated
Clarkson
to
punch
him
at
2004
Press
Awards.
Before
this
there
was
a
separate
incident
that
may
have
added
fuel
to
the
fire.
On
the
last
Concorde
flight,
Clarkson
threw
a
glass
of
water
over
Morgan
while
the
two
were
exchanging
insults.
On
the
night
of
the
Press
awards
Clarkson
lost
it
and
threw
three
punches
at
Morgan.
In
summary,
I
want
to
reiterate
my
anger
towards
the
ease
of
Piers
Morgan
being
let
off
on
every
charge
and
accusation
thrown
at
him.
Surely
there
must
be
a
substantial
amount
of
evidence
to
get
him
what
he
deserves?
He
is
abusing
his
right
and
power
that
comes
with
the
job
role
he
has
taken
and
he
must
by
now
believe
that
he
is
invincible.
An
example
of
the
public’s
anger
towards
him
comes
with
the
petition
to
get
him
deported
from
the
United
States
that
several
thousand
have
signed
up
to.
This
is
from
a
country
that
defines
itself
as
the
land
of
the
free
and
that
everyone
can
voice
his
or
her
opinion
in
relation
to
any
topic.
