UK defamation laws are crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if Morgan gets sued. Apparently, it's a reference to McGregor having worked with Roman Polanski. Which, if you think about it, makes Mia Farrow a pedo-lover too. Which, if you think about THAT makes total sense given who she was married to Woody Allen.
That article is pretty much one long copypasta that could be adapted to any large-scale Reddit kerfuffle. It's almost surgical in how precisely wrong it treats the subject of censorship.
Oh those poor producers, whatever will they DO with all that money they get paid anyway even though the interviewee canceled.
I'm not defending McGregor. It's a contract, and he broke the contract. But it turns out that there's a whole set of buildings -- pretty sure even London has one -- where broken contracts go to die, and where people get paid money to yell at each other. Now to be fair, McGregor doesn't have to show up to that either.
One thing we Americans can rest assured of: If you go to England, you won't have to worry about the quality of the butthurt over there.
I mean Piers Morgan is a cunt, but it is gross how these celebrities fawn over Polanski. Dude drugged and bummed a 14 year old. I don't care that Nazis killed his mum or that his wife was murdered, or that he's old now. That's not an excuse.
Meanwhile, when I don't pay a hooker afterwards (I consider prostitution wrong) these same people call it rape. They don't actually care about people, they just use these words as weapons.
What democracy doesn’t entitle him to do is ban or punish others if their political opinions happen to differ from his. That’s the behaviour reserved for dictators like Kim Jong Un in North Korea.
lol but Trumps alleged Religious Freedom Order is democratic in allowing people to do the same thing Ewan did to Piers but to Gay/Muslim/Pre-Marital Sex Haver/Whatever your religion disagrees with.
One thing’s for sure: Ewan McGregor wants you all to know, very very loudly, that he HATES TRUMP AND BREXIT.

That’s fine. Nearly half of those who voted in the US election and EU referendum didn’t agree either. But both results came after free, fair elections. It’s called democracy.
Of course, that same democracy means Ewan McGregor’s perfectly entitled to have an opinion.
Unfortunately, what democracy doesn’t entitle him to do is ban or punish others if their political opinions happen to differ from his.
That’s the behavior reserved for dictators like Kim Jong Un in North Korea. (Against whom there has been no global march, ironically, despite his disgusting oppression of women.)
More unprofessional that Piers Morgan? Stroll on. The only thing McGregor should be criticized for is agreeing to be interviewed by that infected dick stain in the first place.
So glad this utter cunt fucked off to America and infects those people with himself.
I wonder what his stance on people who hack the phones of dead little girls in order to earn money with exposing her private texts. What kind of fucking filth would do that? (as well as other similar disgraceful things)
He spent decades trying to use his position as a tabloid editor to try and smear a guy called ian hislop, who is editor of a satirical magazine, which had published details of his insider trading and general twattishness.
it didnt help that hislop humiliated him on TV, and that every time hislops magazine Private Eye prints his name it comes up as "piers moron."

I think my soul contracted a virus.
Are you allowed to just call someone a pedophile-lover in the UK?

I just assume all celebrities are deranged sadists.

I'm pretty sure democracy allows him to not appear on a TV interview.

Thanks bro. I would have never admitted it before, but I really needed that.

You know there are people on this site who will think you're being serious and use this as "proof" we're evil.

Is it a generally known fact in the US that piers morgan was basically run out of the UK because everyone hates him so much?
his face is literally a punchline

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Piers Morgan about something, that's when you know things are beyond fucked up.
Ewan McGregor is a stuck up, precious little pampered cunt. And he's also unprofessional.

Is Piers Morgan in full breakdown mode, or has he always been this batshit/pathetic? His Twitter feed reads like angry, edgy 14-year-old girl's diary.

Piers Morgan is such a bitch, I wish there was video of Jeremy Clarkson punching his ass.
Since that isn't a thing, here is video of Piers Morgan getting his ribs broken with a cricket ball.
