No one will listen tp anyone who is rude and obnoxious and loves the sound of their own voice

He gets his points across though and challenges people with facts which others don't. I've yet to see a farming representative have a grasp of facts like he has and stick to his guns.
The people opposing agriculture/livestock are all very forceful and come across as knowing the facts and usually overpower the local nfu branch secretary or farmer put against them.

He talks some sense, It would be alright if he made his point then let her speak but he just bullied her and talked over the top.

Ohhh, and these anti meat eaters don't do that whenever you have a conversation with them !!

Trying putting your point across to a blinkered viewed vegan who think they are holier-than-thou. Good luck. :ROFLMAO:


Piers & Clarkson would be a brilliant team

Yep, both very opininated but are listened too..............and stand up for farmers. (y) That sorts the President and Deputy President job out. Won't need any one for the Red Tractor quango as that would be disbanded straight away, saving farmers £millions !



Didn't Clarkson chin him once at a London variety do, for saying something out of turn..............:facepalm:

At least they both accepted it like men. Not like that other snowflake,Oisin Tymon, who ran to the BBC bigwigs and got him fired .

Not sure it's that good an interview tbf. PM goes in too hard. Seems more worried about the aphid!

it was the ‘billions of bees that get slaughtered’ quoted by Morgan at the 7.55 mark that I found alarming. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, maybe his researchers do but it’s very dangerous imo.
 
That's the only way to deal with all these cluless people who are in influential positions
To verbally bully them?

You'll get no good out of anyone by being rude.

Morgan gave her airtime, he then was rude to her, by doing that he creates support for her with some.
To have a balanced debate with her allowing her to have her say and then correcting her would positively cancel out her points, talking over someone is just bad manners and creating a wall of noise.

But Morgan behaves in just the same way when he's wrong so he is often just ignored by many.

not watched the clip but read enough here to make me think Morgan is best left to be a free spirit and definitely not reasoned or knowledgeable enough to have a formal role for UK ag. Whatever he or Amelia said i'm voting Green tomorrow anyway.

Was it not the alleged incident that might have happened on the last Concorde flight into LHR ?

Are you in favour of their proposed meat and dairy tax then?

Piers Morgan is a shouty person who likes the sounds of his own voice and just talks over people without listening to the others person viewpoint. He won't any questions posed of him and just rants the same lines over and over again.
On that ilk he is very similar to TFF keyboard warriors we see on here are!

I don't like him at all but at least we had someone (anyone!) actually fighting our corner, however wildly, instead of the meek "but we sequester carbon with our grassland" pleading. These people need fighting not surrendering to because of the rank ignorance they clearly display. Everyone who's read something on Faceache is a farming expert these days. Except they're not.
