Piers Morgan is protesting the cancellation of the culture and “woke up” the liberals in a long report published in the British newspaper “Mail on Sunday”.
Morgan, who left “Good Morning Britain” earlier this month after saying on the air that he did not believe many of the things Meghan Markle had said in his shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey, was writing extensively for the first time since after his controversial comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
The article, which appeared online in the United States on Saturday night, gave a moment-by-moment account of what led him to leave the “GMB”.
“I expected such false and selfish things from a rising Hollywood actress like Mrs. Markle, but that Harry would publicly destroy his family and the Monarchy like that, while Prince Philip was gravely ill in the hospital, it is too much of character for a man who once bravely served his queen and country in the war, “said Morgan at the beginning of his column, adding that when he aired later that morning, after watching the interview, he was” angry to the point of boiling over. “

Morgan said people unfairly called him “racist” and accused him unfairly of saying that he did not believe Meghan felt suicidal. He clarified that he simply found some of Meghan’s statements – such as someone commenting on baby Archie’s skin color and not being allowed to get help with depression – hard to believe.
He added that Harry should have been able to get help for Meghan, as he previously talked about silently seeking mental health help in the past.

“Once you know that someone is lying about some things, how can you believe anything else they are saying without concrete evidence to support you?” Morgan explained.
He said that after the interview, his own white skin color was used as a “weapon” against him in allegations of racism.
“It seems that questioning Meghan’s ‘truth’ is now a crime of racist hatred,” he complained, noting that he had never said anything racist about her before.

Meghan was not treated any worse than other royal brides, he said, “but she is the first to claim that the negative press was motivated by racism, and it is a very dangerous charge to do with so little to support him.”
He said he was told by his ITV chiefs that he needed to clarify his comments on the air and meteorologist Alex Beresford privately told Morgan that he needed to understand the perspective of a bi-racial person, so Morgan asked Beresford to be on the program. next morning to debate it on the air.

Beresford then launched what Morgan called a “censorship lecture” on the show, claiming that the only reason Morgan said he didn’t believe Meghan was because she “turned” him into a ghost a few years ago. Morgan said he didn’t care about her, but he saw her abandon other people and found the experience “informative” about her character.
He admitted that leaving the show in anger after his argument with Beresford was a mistake, calling himself “the great snowflake destroyer fleeing the confrontation”.
“Unfortunately, this is where we arrive in society: the truth can be what anyone decides to be, so Meghan Markle must be believed because it is ‘her truth’. And if you don’t believe her, you are a racist”, he wrote.

He said he later returned to the program to say that he still did not believe what she said, but clarified that mental illness should be taken very seriously.
Morgan said he was told he needed to apologize or would have to leave the program and, after a little thought, decided not to apologize because he said that the ability to disagree with someone you don’t believe in is “the essence of freedom of speech.”
“And even if I apologized, that would not be all. The agreed brigade would continue to come after me, demanding that I apologize for everything else that they considered offensive – which, of course, is absolutely everything,” he added.
“And even if I apologized, that wouldn’t be all. The awake brigade would continue to come after me, demanding that I apologize for everything else they considered offensive – which, of course, is absolutely everything.”
He said he called the ITV boss back to say he would not apologize and they agreed that he would leave the show.
One of the first people to share his support with him, he wrote, was Sharon Osbourne.
“It took a lot of courage, knowing that it would infuriate the ultra-awake crowd in Hollywood, where she lives and works.”
Osbourne paid a “high price” for supporting him publicly, he admitted when she was forced to leave her “The Talk” program.

He said he had many people who said they were sad that he left the program and added that one of his most proud achievements was finally defeating the BBC’s rival morning show on its final day.
ITV asked him to continue making intermittent points for the network.
“I have no problem with ITV, my problem is with the increasingly insidious culture of woke cancel that infests all companies like ITV,” he wrote. “If allowed to remain out of control, it will be virtually impossible for anyone with a stubborn personality to survive in any workplace.”
“My problem is with the increasingly insidious culture of woke cancel … If it remains unchecked, it will make it virtually impossible for anyone with a stubborn personality to survive in any workplace.”
He said a few days after his book, “Wake Up”, which rejects culture, has soared to become the number one bestseller.
“I have never had so many members of the public come to offer their support, honking in cars, taxis, trucks and buses, or sending me letters and gifts,” he wrote. “It has been unforgiving, slightly insane and very rewarding.”
He mentioned that even former President Trump, of whom Morgan was once a friend, but later turned against him, supported him against the culture of cancellation.
Morgan reportedly broke the record for complaints from TV regulators in the country – 57,000, including one from Meghan herself – but he said he received thousands of other signatures in a petition for him to rejoin “Good Morning Britain”.
“It’s time to cancel the culture of cancellation before it kills our culture.”
He wrote that Meghan was forced to admit that she did not get married three days before the royal wedding – as she stated in the interview – after a marriage certificate was published by a newspaper and CNN published a story about “inconsistencies” in the interview.

“She is just one of the many hypocritical, privileged and crying celebrities who now cynically exploit victimization to suppress freedom of expression, value their own version of the truth above the real truth and seek to cancel anyone who deviates from their awakened worldview. or who dares to challenge the veracity of his fiery statements, “he wrote. “No, it is about a much bigger subject than a delusional Duchess, and it is everyone’s right to be free to express our honest opinions, with strength and passion, if we so wish.”
He clarified that he does not see himself as a “victim” or “canceled”.
“But if our freedom of expression rights are denied, democracy as we know it will die,” he said. “It’s time to cancel the culture of cancellation before it kills our culture.”
