      If we’re rewarding his behaviour then we clearly don’t think it’s bad behaviour do we. If the majority of society disagrees with you, maybe start considering that you’re the one who is wrong about someone, instead of this strange superiority complex you have. Have a lovely day.

It mainly came from those who were overlooked, but must have been good training for what was to follow. Private Eye is still fun, and informative. Good on yer Ian !

    I remember that issue of the Mirror, at the time it was just creepy really. There was no more motivation to Piers Morgan's stalking of Hislop's past than a group of teenagers trying to 'dox' and bully other message board users they interacted with. Those were my thoughts as a younger person at the time. I don't think social media was quite as pervasive as it is now, but the idea that Morgan is simply a vitrified 13 year old brain within a bloated elder body has been my assessment of him, and the level he functions at, for at least as long as that issue. Not sure what everyone else sees to in order to keep him well heeled in life.
    His recent attempts at inserting himself into the 'tabloid lore' of H and M Windsor's love life was pretty much one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen journalist or a person do also.
    Mechanically speaking, it's just a legacy of the elder Maxwell, isn't it? Gather (or rather generate) as much 'dirt' on your enemy as possible and see them 'driven before you'. Is this not how Epstein perpetuated his ring and functioned within certain circles?

    I seem to remember a written article from Morgan about Hislop some years ago, where it was implied that the latter's downfall was coming and basically initiating a countdown to Ian's career being derailed by some shock revelation. To date that hasn't happened, though more recently Piers seems to have mellowed towards his old adversary.

      Long pauses could have been down to delay on the connection. Plus the interviewer was showing respect and trying not to talk over his guest, which many more popular and considerably better paid (I am assuming) interviewers often fail to do, making it more about them.
