Plus, who are the haters going to hate now

Fret not - they are like feminist or lefties - they will find someone else to hate easy.

Madness that a someone known for saying it as he sees it can be sacked for expressing an opinion shared by hundreds of thousands, if not millions. 

wokeness gone mad 

Let's be honest, the whole programme was driven by, and hugely successful due to, his controversial style and the controversy that he generated.  I agree, it is wokeness in  its extreme.

It's a bit like on here though. Increasingly if someone says something controversial or deemed to be not in-line with the wishy washy view of the world you get lambasted - go on, ask me how I know?

I know, I know. Only the other week I was extolling the benefits of having 4 seats in an Evora and then along came......oh wait hang on.......

[andydclements]

For me, it's not his views nor even that he says what he thinks, it's the way that he comes across as a bully. I think that may have been a necessary tactic in previous roles but just not great for an actual debate or discussion on TV. Ultimately I'd prefer the host to do that, and the guests provide the views.

[C8RKH]

But you're missing the point. That is "his style" and it was that "style" that got him hired and the job ion the first place. It is also the style that has propelled the success of the programme. Also, it is the "presenter" who is the star. Andrew Marr. Andrew Neil. Robert Peston - you know their names for a reason!

If you don't like it, you vote with your remote and switch over. The point is, many DID like it and voted in with their remotes.

It's why the BBC breakfast show is the opposite. You really find someone who likes both shows, so the channels provide something for everyone.

I thought the reponse from the chief leech house was quite good as I read it:

"Why did you wait until a globally syndicated broadcast to voice these worries you lying bitch"

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Again, correct me if I’m wrong, since I don’t watch GMB, but as I understand it PM said he didn’t believe that Meghan had approached the Royal Family / Household with concerns about her mental health and that they flat refused to help.

It seems that this view makes him a racist and sexist bully in the eyes of many “experts”.

[Kimbers]

No, he was accused of not believing in her mental health issues and by saying this he encouraged others suffering MH issues to internalise and not seek the help they need.

[SFO]

As if his views are that influential. 

this is just another way of justifying unjustified censorship and woke nonsense, where everyone is lovely, happy and beautiful, and where the world is perfect. Utter claptrap. 

[C8RKH]

Careful @SFO, the TLF tea, sympathy and compassion collective will be along shortly. I call them them TeaLeaFers!

Don't know how many tunnels there are in California. Perhaps she can be taken for a drive by an out of work GMB presenter.

[mayevora]

I’ve not seen it and no intention of doing so.

From a ‘News’ (or lack of proper News) point of view, it was always going to be the Ginge & Winge show for a few days afterwards and clips and sound bites of anything juicy/shocking would be played and replayed.

Think I’m right in thinking one of the winges was about the lack of official titles given to their offspring - I don’t remember Princess Anne moaning about Peter or Zara not having one.

I think this will run and run for the foreseeable. Andrew is probably sleeping a little easier knowing the spotlight been diverted for a short period.

[pete]

See there is a movement to replace piers Morgan with Clarkson

[Barrykearley]

I think we need a #superstraight topic

[RobinB5]

Australians really don't mince their words, which is refreshing. The contrast with Princess Anne and Zara Phillips was a point well made:

He could not have summed that up any better @RobinB5

As for Meghan, she's classic NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) - she's isolated Harry from his family, friends and everyone else close to him and now made everything about her. Its textbook. She couldn't handle being part of the royal family where she was less important/special than the others (imagine Trump if you want an example of how this behavior manifests) so she had to break away and then create an about turn so that she could be the important one again. Harry will be in a living hell in that marriage. Don't ask me how I know.

This is a stellar observation.  America is unfortunately well in the midst of having a serious problem with this personality type, and now they have a connection to the British Royal Family, the celebrity gossip news will never let this go.

[RobinB5]

There are certain similarities, not surprising that they evoke old British sentiments...

[RobinB5]

...and one must wonder whether her choice of dress for the interview was a conscious decision.  

[Kimbers]

Everything was a conscious decision, it was stage managed!

So here's the crux of the matter, all taken from News sources in the past and present, not that you will read them after this interview. Harry Inherited £15 million from his mother and a suspected "several million" from the Queen Mom. Meghan was worth approx $2 million. The British People and Royal Family rightly refused to pay for their life style and this includes Royal Protection which is supplied mainly by the Met Police but with help from other regional forces. In the USA it is reported they are spending £4 million a year on security. 

Now. What's their main reason for this? I'll leave you to make a decision. I don't have an Opinion.

[PaulCP]

It was definitely stage managed and rehearsed god knows how many times. A bad actress in an acting role.

Just look at Winfrey’s face when the nutcase mentioned about question re the possible colour of her unborn son’s skin and how long the camera stayed on her trying to look shocked. She’d  no doubt practised that for days and still couldn’t make a sincere shocked expression.

Thank god to Aussies aren’t afraid to speak out for fear of being crucified by the righteous Brits who make a life out of either being outraged at anything and live on Facebook & Twitter. What a refreshing approach the news broadcasts are in Australia compared to the BBC (& now ITV) goody goody approach.

Piers M was spot on in quoting that speech from Churchill, that’s exactly how the British public and broadcasting services have become.

I don't see why the British taxpayer should pay for the Sussex's security if they choose to live outside the UK, and simultaneously withdraw from being working royals. But like saying to your employer, I am leaving, but you must continue to pay my salary and the rent of my house overseas.  

[C8RKH]

Utterly Brilliant that news guy from Oz.  Can we re-patriate him back to the UK and forgive his ancestors their crimes?    (  )

My god would I love a news guy like that over here.
