Gun for hire is his thing. Or hiring out guns, more likely.

But I would ask for a moment’s pause and reflection. Before we leap to the conclusion that this was a vulgar, racist question, we should recognise that we know neither the context nor the intent behind the supposed inquiry.
I’m drawing on first-hand experience here. My wife Julia and I were asked exactly the same question — in a spirit of benign interest — by my mother-in-law Muriel shortly before the first of our two daughters was born in 1980.
I should point out here that, like Meghan and Harry, I am black and Julia is white.
...
She asked in much the same way that any of us might wonder: will the baby have her mother’s hair or her father’s nose? Absolutely no offence was intended or taken.

Written six months ago apparently, but it could have quite easily been a transcript of of the interview.

WTF is that inane rambling meant to be, it reads as something aimed at 5 year olds

It’s a spoof piece by a satirist, in Private Eye...

Pinched from a meme that's going round facebook. It was a joke, but apologies if you were offended by this.

It’s funny how ALL of our attention has been shifted to the Royal Family by a media machine that has absolved itself of any wrong doing. H&M didn’t leave Britain cos of their family, they left because of the press, because Harry was afraid that ‘history would repeat itself’.

Someone else - Adrian Lester, a British actor.

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:
