There’s been a big reaction to Piers Morgan’s interview with Alex Jones.
No, I’m not talking about Alex from The One Show. This Alex Jones is a radio host and conspiracy theorist over in the States.
Since the Sandy Hook tragedy, where so many schoolchildren lost their lives, Piers has been a vociferous campaigner against American’s gun laws.
Alex Jones is fiercely pro guns.
Someone decided it would be great to get the two together for a chat. The resulting interview has been viewed over 5 million times on YouTube.
If you want to see someone lose the plot entirely, have a look at it. And it wasn’t Piers!
Unbelievable.
I wasn’t that surprised. Although I live in Los Angeles and have lived in New York, people often tell me I don’t really know America.
I now know what they mean.
Alex Jones is representative of a big part of the population of Middle America, those people that don’t live their lives in the hustle and bustle of the cities.
The fact Alex Jones’s radio show has so many followers shows people think he’s worth listening to. As for Piers, there’s a campaign and petition to have him deported from America which has garnered over 100,000 signatures.
Guess who it was started by? That’s right, Alex Jones. Even The White House got involved, with Press Secretary Jay Carney saying Piers has got every right to say what he thinks.
Free speech and all that.
There are plenty who’d love to see Piers booted out, but the episode has done him no harm.
He was superb in the interview, he let Jones just lose it completely without interrupting him. Many are saying Jones showed himself to be the kind of hair-trigger, emotional type you wouldn’t want owning a gun and he owns more than 50. At one stage he shouted: “How many chimpanzees can dance on the head of a pin?”
No, me neither.
Piers is a love/hate figure in the UK and he plays up to his egomaniac persona. But I had dinner with him not that long ago and it was a hoot. He’s got many amazing stories and we had a great night. His wife, Celia, is gorgeous, though I can understand those who marvel at how she puts up with him!
It’s funny the way the celeb world works. Our Lorraine has recently told me that she’s agreed to appear on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
And if you watch it you’ll know that Piers is famous for making his guests cry as they reveal some tragic incident or other from their past. So the big question is, will he make our Lorraine crumble?
We can but wait and see. But she might be made of sterner stuff than he thinks!
