View Full Version : Piers Morgan flies to Antigua over lockdown for holiday (non essential travel)

Normally I’d not be too fussed, but the way he has called out government members and made a massive fuss about following lockdown rules and attacked government for breaking rules it’s completely hypocrisy.

The rules at the end of December were essential travel only... he flew for a holiday break. That is not essential travel

Fair enough if you’re not gonna call out others for not following lockdown rules/call for people to be fired/attack celebrities for not being good role models?

What are your opinions on this

One day everyone may work out that the rules don't apply to the elite classes.

Will the Police be kicking in his door, most definitely not, how dare you even suggest a thing, what do you think he is, a peasant?

Sadly so many are doing this....why are we not questioning people as they leave the country?...
Piers....constantly digging people out for breaking the rules..what a massive hypocrite.

His sons also flouted the rules rustic, and he has the gaul to call others,really got to dislike him through all this ,he is so unfair.

I still have faith Piers will come good once he has milked ITV for all he can with his act.

Those with money doing what they want while telling those with real problems how to live their lives now there’s a surprise

But it won’t apply to the likes of Meghan and harry because they are just a normal couple.

I’m truly sick of this world.

I have been looking at this and apparently his excuse is you were allowed to go directly to the airport if you lived in Tier 3 :shrug: I mean wtf? pretty sure Sussex went into Tier 4 on Boxing Day and London was already in Tier 4 so not sure that washes very well

the hypocrisy here lol


but here in my country (my province too) also one comedian Christel de Laat (she even got awarded a ribbon for her efforts in coronacrisis, amid first wave) basically she says ''Stay Home people'' but meanwhile she goes off having BBQ's with friends, or saying she cannot wait for theatres to reopen as quickly as possible, or going on holiday to Italy, or going to the shops each day of the week like its a nice day trip


this from Piers is wrong, but what will be done about it, nothing, won't even receive a fine

Hope he has a good rant to himself in the mirror and calls himself a covidiot etc. If you are going to be as sanctimonious as he is at times you really need to make sure you don't bend the rules yourself or you will lose any gravitas and look pretty damn stupid

Why even bring up bloody Rosie and Jim? If you want them to fade into obscurity, pretend they don't exist.

That’s my belief. I would never even consider going abroad when we are in lockdown or being so wreckless.

But it’s more frustrating the fact he fees need to crucify others for simply travelling to see ill family members, or travelling for child care, or going to funerals and forgetting about the mask when standing up inside during covid. Yes those are rule breaks but to go on holiday and fly is much worse than both, at least they had actually reasons to flaunt the rules (still not acceptable but more understandable)

Seems he holds others to a standard and then he himself is almost worse yet he doesn’t see it..

like Kay Burnley he is now pretty toothless, he can't preach and can't hold anyone else to account

He was also photographed in the back of a cab without a mask wasn't he? That could have been an oversight but this will be the final nail in his credibility now where the restrictions are concerned

Did he isolate on return I wonder

I tend to find the most..vocal of people criticizing 'rulebreakers'..are breaking the rules in a few areas themselves. Of course, the original complainer had a good reason to break the rules though, not like those other people who broke rules who are selfish granny killers.

Don't you realise everything is Meghan and Harry's fault , this thread is about Piers Morgan yet Harry & Meghan still get dragged into it :bored: . It's like pardon them for breathing .
