Reactions from last night's bombshell interview on Good Morning Britain:

Piers Morgan is apparently a Royalist gatekeeper. Here, he asserts all the negative attributes of a white male insufferable engaged in an emotional tissy fit. He's dismissive, derogatory, hyperbolic, basically emotionally unhinged because he's so angry. What a privilege to be so unraveled on the national tele and feel it's perfectly fine to behave in such a manner. This is white male entitlement in action. His co-host would certainly not be able to get away with this, but Piers is allowed to because he's Piers. He falls into a trap of his own making and becomes the latest white male poster boy for how not to engage in the topic of race. Talk about tone deaf. And his quip about the lecture on journalism...only a truly petty thin-skinned guy would say something like that. But  wait, there's more!

Piers gets the worst of it here by a ways. He is owned by presenter Trisha Goddard, but that doesn't stop him from interrupting her, putting words in other people's mouths, getting super defensive, and basically acting like the kind of white male bully we all cringe over these days.

I love this guest for calling Piers out. Choice stuff. She's so right...Piers is such a disappointment here.
