Piers Morgan seems to swing between being sort of on the right track and being an absolute twat. Today, it’s the latter.
Piers then turned his attention to Mr Kinnock, who drove from Wales to London to have a socially distant celebration with his 78-year-old dad.
The GMB host continued: “All you have to do is stay at home and obey the rules. There’s a section of our community who doesn’t care.
Now, I don’t have much time for Kinnock, however, this essential journey bollocks is getting out of hand. At no time did he risk infecting anyone here, so there is no problem. But what Morgan is doing is displaying the worst in our pettifogging, prurient, bossy, nannying, puritanical, self-righteous, supercilious, superior nature. Every narrow-minded, jumped-up officious jobsworth is making the most of their day finally dawning. The worst in humanity – not to mention the blind, stupid “obeying the rules” mentality, no matter how absurd those rules might be. Much like the police shaming people who drive somewhere to walk the dog. They are not risking infecting anyone and no harm is being done here, but, by God, we are seeing just how vile human beings can be. And it’s not the ones breaking the rules.
What a hateful place the world has become.
Ambush Predator has picked up on people picking up DIY supplies along with their groceries. Disgusting disease spreading vermin that they are.
It’s going to get worse.
Is the problem partly caused by infantilisation? Children require clear rules and guidelines. We now have a significant proportion of the population who depend on someone in authority to tell them what to do. The reasons for the rules are irrelevant to them they just need rules that they can follow. Such people actually enjoy telling teacher when some more independently minded person transgresses the rules.
It’s entirely infantilisation. There should be no need for many of these absurd rules. Now we have this stupid queuing to get into a supermarket when there is actually no shortage of food. Fucking hell, I hate humanity.
Not the world, LR. Just Piers Morgan, a self important bellend of the largest magnitude
Perhaps it’s time to begin bringing up all those fabricated stories about the British Military Morgan presided over when he was Editor at the Daily Mirror…
This coming weekend, there may be over 5,000 cars on the roads as people drive hundreds of miles to wish their parents, grandparents, or assorted relatives a happy birthday or anniversary congratulations. After all, if Stephen ‘Man of the people’ Kinnock can do it, why can’t we? It’s true that Morgan is a pillock, but Kinnock is no less a one, expecting privileges that he would not expect his constituents to have. As an MP, he is supposed to set an example and shows just what would have happened if he and his kind had ended up in government. “Do as I say, rather than what I do.”. I’m afraid, LR, we must agree to disagree.
The point being, the restriction is an unnecessary one. So I’m with Kinnock on this one (even if he is a hypocrite). No harm was done here.
Piers is rational and libertarian in most areas, but when a scare comes along he’s fully onboard the totalitarian hysteria bus: Global Warming, Climate Change and now Covid-19
His DM articles on CV are childish hysteria, as are his GMB interviews
What I find repulsive is how much know-nothing TV ‘Celebs’ are paid
Piers in full hysteria twat mode

Morgan, wake up and pay attention. It’s advise not regulation – something many police farces have overlooked too, notably Derby*
Well down Isabel Oakeshott
Don’t like Kinnocks, but nothing wrong or irresponsible about their actions. Petrol? Really Piers, have you never seen “Pay At Pump”?
* Derby – no surprise to me, when Bike GP moved from Silverstone to Donington it was last attendance – instead of Northants friendly, have fun, speeding, wheelies, donuts etc OK; Derby plod was we’ll nick you for anything, don’t leave campsite, no music, pubs shut – thankfully we were in a Nottingham hotel and avoided worst

ABC like BBC & C4 needs privatised or closed, they are Lord Haw Haw Traitors
Castle Donington is in Leicestershire, though close to the border so confusion is common (it also has a DE postcode). The Leicestershire police have long been known to Derby bikers as the Leicester Arresters! Not that the Derbyshire police are much better of course!
Thanks for clarification.
I always thought Northants plod were sensible, much easier to handle thousands of happy bikers by allowing one weekend of relaxed traffic laws for bikes. The “street performances” in Silverstone and Towcester were great fun for all and never any trouble. Pubs allowed to sell take-aways in plastic non-crown glasses too
Donington – there was, inevitably, a riot
“Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men”
We have a lot of fools in this country, many of them in Parliament. However, rules are rules and Kinnock should, as an MP, be setting an example.
Was Kinnock doing any harm? Possibly not. Was he wrong? Definitely.
So not a wise man, then…
