I think the correct term is Gammon Snowflakes with wafer thin skin.

Quite.

The poor hard done by elderly white man is always the real victim.

That's a bit harsh, I wouldn't describe Harry as elderly.

Will Piers Morgan ever see a day of justice?

Is it right that he was sacked in 2004 and this case is from 2006to about 2011?

But yep- I bet a few celebs and their lawyer's must be thinking...."let's go!"

It's shame but no, and neither will Rebekah Brooks. Both totally oblivious to what was going on allegedly, totally believable as well.

I used to detest Piers Morgan, but like the Farage he has a sort of resiliency that's hard to ignore. Certainly a breed apart. Is this kind of man simply a modern professional or are both unprincipled and arrogant? Or are plenty of modern professionals just built that way... .

It's a sympton of the industry they live in. Moulded in the image of Rupert M. Lots of people create and run and companies without the need to fk over everyone and anyone, but they rarely make news headlines.

It's amazing how so many on this thread can't hold 2 opposing ideas in their head at the same time.

It's entirely possible to dislike H&M because they're whining hypocritical narcissists without it having anything to do with race. I know, Blueg33, Sugerbear et al, I've blown your minds, haven't I?

Or I haven't, and you just like picking on certain comments because it gives you a priapic thrill to try to demean opinions that don't match your own prejudices, deluding yourself you're a good person because you're sticking it to the GBeebies watching Gammony racists.... Could be that I suppose.

I agree. Both have a lot in common with fungal nail.

I think both Morgan and Farage probably have more talent at what they do. Nice guys come last.

I haven't bought more than three individual newspapers for about fifteen years* (* only bought when stuck on a ferry).

I don't miss their sensationalist crap whatsoever and the lowlife scum (celebrity reporters and their pond life paparazzi mates) that make life a misery for so many people should definitely be held to account, starting with that nasty piece of dogst Piers Morgan.

Unfortunately not as we don’t do firing squads anymore

[bitchstewie]

Morgan is giving a statement now.

He seems to be taking it really well

[Hilts]

But yep- I bet a few celebs and their lawyer's must be thinking...."let's go!"

Summary on the BBC live page:

• Mr Justice Fancourt says the prince's personal phone was targeted between 2003 and 2009

• He says 15 of 33 sample articles were “the product of phone hacking… or the product of other unlawful information gathering"

• There was "extensive" phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers from 2006 to 2011, he rules

• Separately, the judge rules Piers Morgan knew about phone hacking - and was involved - when he was editor of the Daily Mirror.

And Morgan's statement has just accepted that one of the articles was during his time as editor.

Bear in mind it is a civil case so decided on the balance of probabilities. Not a criminal case where it needs to be beyond reasonable doubt.

He did indeed! Fine watching. Unfortunately there are are two possible "truths" and we're never likely to find out which is which.

Truth 1: He may never have hacked any phones himself and he may never have told anyone else to hack phones but he and his mates either "knew" or "turned a blind eye" to the fact stories in their newspaper were the result of phone hacking. However, the required standard of proof in criminal proceedings "beyond reasonable doubt" would be a whole lot harder to nail him with than civil cases decided "on the balance of probability" so the chances of him ever having to face justice are very small indeed. On the other hand he may be quaking in his boots about the possibility of now being sued personally and bankrupted by the combination of damages awarded and legal costs.

Truth 2: He's as honest as the day is long and has always believed the newspaper stories were obtained legally. If anyone sues him personally his robust defence will see him completely exonerated.

[bitchstewie]

Nailed it.

Morgan said he's "never hacked a phone or told anyone else to hack a phone".

What are the chances he knew very well what was going on during his editorship, however…
