Looks like this view is growing then.

Just been speaking to a friend who (now used) to work with Piers Morgan. I asked what he was like off camera and she said he was always alright with her. I suspect he was a pantomime dame character on GMB then.

Daytime TV is awash with mind numbing chat show stuff. To stand out from the crowd you need to add a little bit of 'bite' in the format, often a personality with a different view on things.

Nowadays though, that different view is drowned out by those who cry 'foul' at any opportunity.

If I had a mind to, I could write over 100 letters a day complaining about the shite on TV, but it would still remain shite because my idea of shite is different to the sad sacks that like it and produce it.

RIP individualism :p:

Being a "complete arse" is not the same as having a "different view" - the problem is that they’re often conflated.

Sharon Osbourne apologises for her 'panicked' defence of Piers Morgan

In Friday's statement, she apologised to "anyone of colour that I offended and/or to anyone that feels confused, or let down by what I said". She explained that she had "allowed my fear and horror of being accused of being racist take over".

But some people like to degenerate & attempt to diminish the point of view of others by the use of such insulting language simply because it's a view that doesn't concur with their own.

Agree with you there, why this is till in the headlines with everything else going on in the world, says a lot about our warped Country.

I'm not particularly anti royalist, got some time for the Queen and her durability. But the rest can shape up, fund themselves, or sod off. Otherwise royalty is in crisis when she finally pegs it.

Do you have any examples of this practice? It would be extraordinary to threaten anybody with legal action to merely diminish their point of view and wouldn't get very far as we in the UK, to an extent, have freedom of speech. It's far more likely to be used to deal with unlawful behaviour.

Had he called someone the N word? Nope. Had he said something derogatory based on skin colour or race? Nope. He had used the phrase 'you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush'.

You can bet your life that it was some white virtue signalling idiot manager at the BBC who had taken offence to this on behalf of black people, who, in my experience just get on with their lives and find the whole thing embarrassing.

In the Times today, a humourous column by Hugo Rifkind

My week, by the Queen (as told to Hugo Rifkind)

My favourite bit
Quote:
“Anyway,” says Kate, nervously. “Wills and I have decided we need to lead the fightback. To save the family reputation for the next generation.”

Stiffly, Charles points out that he’s the heir.

“Yes, but we know young people,” says William.

“I know some,” begins Andrew.

“Please,” says Charles. “Just stop talking.”

The Hugo Rifkind article stirs something.

When Charlie Farley becomes king, that ridiculous man will be barely respected by the UK population. It's likely that one of the first things he'll do is to spout off about the environment. You don't hear the Queen spouting off about anything.

Of course there's the chance that Charlie will behave differently as King than he does as Prince. But he also carries the stigma in public eyes of Diana's treatment and fate.

Some Commonwealth countries will displace the Monarchy as their head of state plus there will be a row about Camilla being the formal Queen.

Harry, the spare prince, now needs to put a sock in his and his wife's mouth and get on with their lives in the USA.

With all due respect Charles speaks out about his interests now while he can still so. If he does ever become Monarch I'm pretty sure that will stop. He's known his place all his life.

I imagine he'll talk about the environment in an apolitical way. Just generic stuff about the environment being important, keeping it clean, keep the air clean and so on.

Besides global warming is not that controversial in the U.K anymore.

Heard this mentioned on Feedback on Radio 4 this evening. The BBC's Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond talked about the care needed when reporting on Royal events. He mentioned the interview given by Harry and Meghan and said he thought very carefully about the language he used all the time. Someone on Twitter had criticised his use of the phrase "tarred with the same brush" when mentioning the racism allegations. He had reflected and agreed that it was inappropriate.

Here's a good explainer on the phrase: https://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-tar1.htm

Most people with a decent quota of intelligence/learning would know the phrase has bugger all to do with racism . . .

Sadly, the majority of Facebook/Twitter users grasp with eager hands anything that sounds as though it might be.

Yet another spineless grovelling dimwit, he should have told the moron on twitter where to go.

Its a common phrase, even listed in collins dictionary.

e.g. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/di...the-same-brush


I also found this (just to show the origin has nothing to do with race);

Quote:
The origin is the verb to tar, meaning to defile or dirty, known from the early years of the seventeenth century. The idiom appears in print first in 1818, in one of Sir Walter Scott’s novels, Rob Roy: “They are a’ tarr’d wi’ the same stick — rank Jacobites and Papists.” Our modern form appears in William Cobbett’s Rural Rides in 1823: “‘You are all tarred with the same brush’, said the sensible people of Maidstone.

RichardCoulter 15-03-2021 05:38
Re: Meghan/Harry
 
It's getting absurdly ridiculous now. Fair enough, when Political Correctness first started, it managed to stop minority groups from being insulted eg black people are no longer called the N word by the majority of people.

Then, as is often the case with these things, it started to become a parody of itself by getting ridiculous:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?p=36068156

Now we have a situation where people are actually going out of their way to look for things to be 'offended' about, even things that are totaly irrelevant as Paul says.

As I said before, apart from a few who like to stir things up by harping on about issues like African slavery hundreds of years ago where nobody alive participated or was affected by it, it's usually white people who like to virtue signal and out 'anti racist' others in some sort of perverse competition.

The non white people i've come across or have as friends don't behave like this and find it downright embarrasing.
Sadly, if it doesn't stop, these are the very people who will bear the brunt of any backlash.

I think that non white people may become ostracised/alienated anyway as we try to get back to normal because of covid as it is (a lot have been duped into not having the vaccination because of incorrect scaremongering), so people will, once again, become fearful of them, seek to svoid them, not want to employ them etc.

If you say something you know is offensive, and use it with the intend to offend - then that is your fault.

If somebody takes what you say innocently, and without the intent to offend, and finds offence in it. - then that is their fault

this falls into the latter description and should be discounted and ignored.

Quote from The Sun: Prince Harry's new job title has left people in Japan in stitches as the acronym is slang for 'penis'.

The Duke of Sussex bagged the role of chief impact officer - often shortened to 'chimpo' in the US - at a Silicon Valley startup last month.

Harry, 36, said he wanted to "create impact" after being named as part of the leadership team with BetterUp Inc - a coaching and mental health firm in the US valued at £1.25bn.

Brits thought his new role sounded a little odd, but brushed it off as just a funny word.

But many in Japan had a right laugh due to its phallic meaning in the country.

Social media users highlighted that 'chimpo' in Japanese is the socially appropriate way to refer to the penis.
The article also says: In Japanese, the sound of the word 'Sussex' sounds like "having sexual activity".

Looks like she's been priming him again.

His grandfather is barely cold & his grandmother will surely still be grieving in private, but he has decided it's the right time to criticise his father & grandfather, their education, their education choices for their children & their upbringing.

All this attention seeking whist claiming to want privacy is an utter embarrassment.

Talking about life in LA, his family and future plans on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert, Harry said: "I've got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers.

"I don't want to start going down the First Amendment route because that's a huge subject and one which I don't understand because I've only been here a short time.

"But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalise or exploit what's not said rather than uphold what is said."

One outraged American wrote on social media: "If he has a problem with the constitution then he can go back to Britain."

And another blasted: "Get the hell out of America."
Looks like he's queered his pitch over the pond. :D

I was always suspicious over his eyes being too close together - something he inherited from his ridiculous father.

He's doing OK for someone that doesn't really want to be in the limelight.

Appears on an American talk show, causes controversy, immediately becomes the 'guest celebrity' that all other shows fall over themselves to book.

Yeah, not bad at all . . . and probably quite lucrative too ;)

Piers Morgan slammed the 1st and 2nd amendments and how they are miss read.


The amount of abuse of people calling for him to deported was hilarious, especially when he has dual UK/US nationality.

Quite possibly, unless Sephiroth meant Hom3r - which I doubt - although looking at this board lately it's a fair shout :D ;)
