My parents and I haven't laughed so hard in a while! Its obvious that there must still be a sizable contingent of Brits who still can see straight!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt

Piers is now threatening to deport himself!...Go, Piers, Go!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...organ.html
I guess he has also been "tweeting" that only 90,000 signed the petition to deport him, so that MUST mean 310 million want him to stay.
Using his logic, I guess there are also 310 million people who don't want any further gun control legislation!

LOL..."fanny" doesn't mean the same thing in the UK...it is actually part of the female anatomy (but you probably knew that;-)

One of my limey friends and I were talking about that guy well before the deportation petition. I joked they should take him back, and he said we took him and we had to keep him. We ultimately found we could agree on halfway...off the coast of Iceland. See...it is nice when folk can agree. : )

Uhgg. Suddenly I have just that much more appreciation for why our founding fathers wanted separation from that country...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...in-US.html http://extranosalley.com/?p=29225 Here is a fact Piers Morgan didn't mention about his beloved England. No wonder he lives in the USA.

Larry Pratt did mention that fact but Morgan, being mental midget he is, talked over him. Any time you stump a liberal with the truth they resort to childish name calling and screaming.

Up to 97,000 on the poll...lol
On a separate note, even Pravda warns Americans to not give up our guns!

Things are starting to make more sense now. I had no clue that Piers Morgan was neck-deep in the tabloid journalist phone-hacking scandal in the UK. Why would a tabloid writer & editor from England be spending most of his time in the US now, you ask?
Quote:In November 2012 Morgan was criticised in the official findings of the Leveson Inquiry, when Lord Leveson stated that comments made in Morgan's testimony about phone hacking "clearly prove is that he was aware that it was taking place in the press as a whole and that he was sufficiently unembarrassed by what was criminal behaviour that he was prepared to joke about it.
If you haven't heard of the Leveson Inquiry, it's one of the largest scandals in a scandal-obsessed UK, where tabloid journalists were hacking people's phones with the support of their companies to gain access to celebrities, politicians, and high-profile types in order to generate material for stories. Looks like Piers Morgan was so deep in it, that he was called as a key witness during the inquiry, where he remained in the US and testified via webcam. Kinda nice to take advantage of the safety here in the US, rather than face the music in-person.
The plot thickens...
Quote:In 1994, aged 28, he was appointed editor of News of the World by Rupert Murdoch, becoming the youngest national newspaper editor in more than half a century. He quickly gained notoriety for his invasive, thrusting style and lack of concern for celebrities' privacy, claiming that they could not manipulate the media to further their own ends without accepting the consequences of a two-way deal.
Murdoch's media conglomerate is the focus of the scandal known as "Hackgate", where they even bribed police, accessed voicemails of dead 9/11, 7/7, and deceased British Iraq/Afghan Vets. Piers Morgan is like a son to him.
My impression: Piers is cooling off for a while as the smoke clears from the phone-hacking scandal back in England. Murdoch is described as the spymaster, and Morgan as one of his minions.
Holy crap, the more I read about Piers Morgan's past, the more scandals surface. He engaged in insane levels of insider trading, with his own publications being involved in promoting the financial products he was investing in, where he even emptied out his and his wife's bank accounts to turn a massive profit. He was fired from being the Director of The Daily Mirror after they published photos of British soldiers committing war atrocities against Iraqi prisoners. The photos were terrible fakes.
He's had a heck of a career, hasn't he.

Status update: Over 101,000 signatures to deport Piers Morgan.
On a humorous note: there is also a petition there to keep him in US...with only 8,000 votes. I guess he can't use the 310 million want him to stay here any longer...LOL

What Jones did to him was awesome! I was hoping Piers would take him up on that boxing match.

I'm not personally a big fan of Alex Jones...because of his 9/11 conspiracy garbage. But I do agree with his stance/reporting on DHS, TSA and his pro gun stance. It was nice to see Piers being shouted over (like he routinely does to his guests who are pro 2A).
However, they intend to use his appearance against pro-gunners. It would have been better if he had avoided all his conspiracy theories. It was a setup to discredit ALL pro 2A folks. Piers was quickly on the phone to Politico (Obama pravda machine) discussing the interview: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013...53617.html
Quote: Piers "J.A." Morgan - "He was the best advertisement for gun control you could wish for," Morgan told POLITICO.
The second segment on Piers' show can be seen on InfoWars: http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-i-mad...ducer-cry/
