    I'm like Nelson Mandela when...

    ...yep another poor analogy by someone infamous..

    https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...la-free-speech
    Piers Morgan has compared himself to Nelson Mandela, claiming his year away from TV presenting and his battle for “free speech” is similar to the former South African leader’s struggle against apartheid.

    The former tabloid editor stormed off the set and out of his job at Good Morning Britain after being engaged in public debate when he said he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex’s claims from her Oprah Winfrey interview.

    Morgan has recently sought to paint his GMB exit as the result of an effort to silence him.

    I doubt there would be many charity singles or car bumper stickers demanding 'Free Piers Morgan'

      Unless it was "Free Piers Morgan from a helicopter (without a parachute)"

          Seems like a win-win to me. He gets to go and feel important having a TV show where he can be free to share unpopular opinions. We get to avoid hearing them since it's a channel nobody will watch.

            30 years in solitary confinement for Mr Moron sounds like a good idea though.
            His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              he doesn't even need to sabotage anything.

                I should have put a poll on about who you guys like the least.

                    For those of us who live in London, Sadiq beats Piers Moron hands down. He beats just about everyone except Putin, to be fair.
