Piers Morgan | Cambridge Union

Piers Morgan is currently Editor-at-Large of the US section of MailOnline, the most viewed English newspaper website in the world, and a presenter of breakfast show Good Morning Britain and Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
In 1994, at the age of 29, Morgan was named editor of the News of the World, making him the youngest editor of a UK newspaper in more than 50 years. He later became editor of the Daily Mirror. In 2012, Morgan was embroiled in the Leveson phone-hacking inquiry.
Morgan is close personal friend of US President Donald Trump, and happens to be the only Brit that Trump follows on twitter.

I don't mind the guy personally at least he speaks his mind. A lot to be said for that these days.

Why is the sound from Cambridge union always so bad?

[@BALBIRSINGH-qf5ft]

They are ridiculously polite.

[@norwegianzound]

Because they have reedy little voices.

[@Backs4more]

Because not one of them have ever had to do anything for themselves and there are no manual workers there to fix stuff.

[@samuelmacdonald8096]

@@Backs4more Having recently been employed by the Cambridge Union, I think that they do have manual workers. Could be wrong though

[@Zarih67]

I’m actually starting to like him. Funny and seem honest.

[@WildWildWest30000]

I like Piers. He says what people need to hear than what people want to hear. He's not a people pleaser and isn't fake.

[@JACK28460]

Personally I cannot decide about Piers Morgan. On the one hand I like and respect him because he isn't afraid to say exactly what he thinks, and he usually gets things spot-on and talks total sense. On the other hand, he is a self-confessed tabloid journalist, and sadly they are all vermin. They destroy peoples' lives without a second thought, and I'm sure Morgan was one of the worst in his day. He's a fascinating character nonetheless

[@juliechristlow930]

Piers Morgan has just gone up in my estimation. Great interview wish more people would be more open like him.

[@888Davey888]

Piers is like 'Marmite'. You either love him or you hate him. I disagree with him on certain subject matters, however, overall I love his wit, sarcasm, and straightforwardness regarding many subject matters that have gone way out of hand.

[@Bassguitar1231]

Piers Morgan your interviews in the United States were extremely interesting, request you please return, thank you !

[@andymrkipling]

Really enjoyed that. Refreshing honest.

[@hannah60000]

Japan was historically a violent country, but it wasn't solely about guns.

[@garfieldharrison510]

I like Piers..He's passionate.Concise. Full of BS..but,he's a great debater. It's transparent for me. Take the BS for what it is. I wish he was still on CNN. America got pissed about his protest about the Guns.

[@lancerrr9]

Why is the video quality so poor? Please get better cameras and use shotgun mics so the guests don't clip the audio.

Say what you will about him, he's a good journalist and engaging speaker

[@MrJobo1212]

who his the interviewer ;;)

[@lindat6910]

Piers, what a great realistic.

[@fingerhorn4]

It's not that he is unlikeable in the sense he means. The dislike is not because he is awkward or holds people "to account". It's because he concentrates on the easy targets while ignoring a whole world of others whom he never challenges, but who in the main hold the power that he never questions, like the "rich and famous" whose narcissism and sociopathy he shares. The only useful thing he did is to alert the US of its dysfunctional love of guns. Other than that he is just a male version of K. Hopkins.

[@pops1507]

Jeez. Someone clean the lens!

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Piers says what most of us are thinking.

[@darkgiggler]

Nah you don’t need to choose to be likeable just be real. Most people like genuine-ness but with a sense of propriety though and open mindedness. But being genuine, respectful of others who have other opinions, it’s fine to voice your thoughts if it makes you unlikeable that’s worth being genuine (but with a sense of propriety).

[@2ShadesOfGray]

Watched his "interview" with Tommy Robinson, utterly shameful. Don't forget the is a man linked to phone hacking scandal,

[@sausageman4706]

Which was proven to be fake. Rumor created by a twitter account. I highly suggest you have a proper look into it. I was the same and felt ashamed at how gullible i was

[@mtMage3]

I don't know much of anything about Piers Morgan, and I also do not agree with his political stances either. But, his ideas about having a good debate, not getting upset about people having different ideas than you, and even trying to tone down the Western left from being so insane. Perhaps we don't like the president we have, but surely we can support the president and not "leave the planet", simply because he is our president and deserves some form of respect.

[@medi8057]

Our society is built to groom sensitive and weak men. He’s completely right with everything he says about men and mental illness

[@jackwatsonepic626]

If voting made a difference they wouldn't allow you to do it ; but they give the people the illusion that they are voting That you are making a difference

[@sausageman4706]

Who's "they"?

[@hannah60000]

@18:08 This is where understanding the American political systems comes to play. Gun laws are State Rights. In Chicago guns are illegal, yet gun crime still exists, that's the paradox Americans have with guns. Changing the law isn't going to solve it, it's cultural. I'm sure in 1996 guns weren't cultural in the UK, even if ownership laws were lax.

[@jackwatsonepic626]

The UK has never had guns in my lifetime and I was born in the 60s I agree with pierce guns should be outlawed in all countries look at port Arthur in Australia for example in 1996 ; maybe keep shotguns for killing the likes of animals in certain countries " but who needs an Ousie for home defence ? Besides half of the people who are breaking into your house only want your VCR or TV

[@Anon54387]

Hannah: Gun laws are not a states' rights issue. States' rights don't go so far as to infringe individual rights.

[@Anon54387]

@@jackwatsonepic626 The Port Arthur shooter had a history of very disturbing behaviors going back to childhood yet he wasn't put in a psychiatric hospital until after he killed 35 people in cold blood. And so it goes in the USA because we also stopped putting those so unbalanced they were a danger in psychiatric hospitals. There were warning signs on top of warning signs in the Uvalde, Parkland and Highland Park mass shootings just for three examples.

Jiminy. That knucklehead in the audience equating the fear of big government in America to the SIZE of America rather than that we experienced big government when an English colony and that's why we put strict limits on government, and the UK still has virtually no limits on what government can do, just whatever the majority wants.
