O/T:- Piers Morgan

[Mapperleypie]

Sid you would do well to remember that Piers Morgan knowingly used phone hacking to publish the Ulrika Johnson Sven affair. Yes a former servant of Notts! I'm somewhat bemused by how you can say anything positive about such a vile individual. The UK Governments handling of the NHS and also corona virus is lamentable and it certainly wouldn't be hard to make a politician look a bit silly at the moment. Even soccerman could probably manage it.

Out of interest Queensland - how is the UK's handling of COVID-19 being reported in Aus?

On the positive side its being reported with more sensitivity than when you(us) get a whooping in the cricket but its largely seen as something of a disaster. My personal feeling is that Australia is more closely aligned to the USA than the UK nowadays but Trump is getting an absolute (deserved) hammering.

I don't know why anyone goes on the Piers Morgan show or whatever it is called, true he asks some excellent questions it is a pity he never allows any one to answer them.

The reality is that he doesn't allow them to openly avoid the question. If they actually appear to be giving an answer he lets them, but as soon as they start evading and waffling he interrupts and gets back to the question. Like him or loathe him, the reason questions aren't being answered is down to the person wriggling and squirming and not down to him.

Bit of both imo. He sometimes doesn't let them get a few words out before he interupts, funny how he didn't do it to his mate Trump.
When they squirm or try to avoid answering them I am all for it but give them a chance first. He even does it to ordinary guests that have nothing to do with politics. Loves the sound of his own voice.
