Please Dont deport him

[Ryotknife]

Hey America no backsies! You let him into your country, you can keep him. Though if you do want to deport him you could always just throw him out the country anywhere... like off the side of a boat in middle of the ocean.

Can you explain WHY he is so hated in Britain? Sure, the guy does come off as a bit of an A-hole.

He's vile creature that occasionally wrote and edited for various newspapers including The Sun and the defunct News of The World and has alleged involvement with the phone hacking scandal which forced the closure of The News of The World. He is also quite famous for getting a glass of water poured over his head and punched several times by Jeremy Clarkson. The fact Clarkson wasn't instantly knighted for his actions is a travesty in of itself.

hmm, if Jeremy Clarkson hates him that is enough for me.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I know next to nothing about him, since I'm from Australia so He's never been mentioned here.

Was he that guy that Jeremy Clarkson punched in the face once? I think that was him. Also apart from the gun thing what else has he done?

The true meaning of Christmas: Please don't hurt this man, I want to hurt him myself. Pardon me as I enjoy the not true meaning of Christmas, good will and forgiveness.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I'd actually like to see him deported.

Not because of his views, mind you, it's because I'd like to see how much he'd whine here in America before someone in the UK has the stones to actually challenge him in a court of law over libel.

As I've learned through the incident with Eurogamer and libel, the UK has some pretty nasty laws in regards to such things. All the more reason to enjoy watching someone like him squirm.

Ironic that people are willing to harm the 1st amendment to protect the 2nd.

The guys from Penny Arcade really nailed that phrase, didn't they.

 

[Woodsey]

They're idiots, but then Morgan is a complete prick anyway. It seems both sides cancel each other out, and therefore this situation never actually happened.

 

[Blunderboy]

At least let us have Hugh Laurie back.

 

[nepheleim]

As of writing ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), the Department of State, nor any law enforcement agency in America uses petitions as grounds for deportation. With regard to unpleasant ends, the UK has a higher violent crime rate than the US. Just because the odds of the violent crime involving a gun are diminished doesn't mean that the violence itself is mitigated any.

EDIT: Removed extraneous "n"

Well this is kinda wacky. Um, I'll get right on it, I guess?

 

[Ryan Hughes]

The petition is placed on the WhiteHouse.gov page, so, if it gets more than 25,000 signatures the White House will be forced to respond. Undoubtedly, they will repsond by saying that there is no legal basis for the deportation on Mr. Morgan. Though, come to think of it, that does not seem to stop the White House from bombing Pakistan and Assassinating American Citizens, but we will give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I know next to nothing about Mr. Morgan, because really, CNN is only one step above Fox News for accuracy, and I do not watch that tripe.

And no, Britain, you cannot have your cool British people back, we are keeping Hugh Laurie and Michael Pailin. they should at least outweigh Mr. Morgan.

 

[The White Hunter]

Oooooh! Ooooh! Another opportunity to post this:


Seriously though we won't deport him because he upset some gun nuts. He didn't do anything wrong.

Though he is a ****. We'll keep him here if you keep Donald Trump there.

And Jeff Dunham, I don't want to be on the same landmass as him.

Well we hijacked Reginald D. Hunter and Rich Hall, so we'll call it even.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

sorry about that, but there is a lot of US bashing on these forums so it is hard to tell the difference between fake and real bashing, no matter how it is presented.

Really? I'd say it's about one tenth US bashing, half ironic, self-aware patriotism, and 4 tenths "Oh America. What would we do without you".

 

[Patrick Buck]

Well, I don't think he should be deported....
Not that I wouldn't find it fucking hilarious if he was though.
Then again, we don't really want him back, so keep him, but just lock him somewhere or something.

Why don't y'all keep him in that "Secret" Bay I keep hearing about with everyone else you can't prove did anything wrong 'mericans? Sounds like a actual honest to god good idea for the evil place....

 

[Callate]

For Pete's sake, man. There are about as many signatures on the petition to build a Death Star. If we jumped into action every time 25,000+ yahoos petitioned for something, we'd already be short at least one state.

And I have about as much power over who the ICE chooses to deport as I do over what reality television monstrosity is next going to be inflicted upon television audiences.

Yeah, this will not achieve anything, although it is funny to see, Piers is a selfish, greedy, amoral plonker who would throw his mother off a bus if he thought he could use the situation to make more money. We don't want him back in our country either.

With regard to unpleasant ends, the UK has a higher violent crime rate than the US. Just because the odds of the violent crime involving a gun are diminished doesn't mean that the violence itself is mitigated any.

The definition of "violent crime" differs from country to country, so using it to compare different countries gets a bit "apples and oranges" if you catch my drift.

For example, the UK counts all acts of violence against a person as "violent crime" whereas America only counts legally defined "assault", and the UK counts all sexual offences whereas America only counts rape.
So household domestics, pub brawls, sexual harassment (and others) are all violent crimes in the UK, but not in America, artificially inflating the figure for the UK.

I love it when stuff like this happens.

he's not an American.

do foreign nationals legally have amendment rights under The US Constitution ?

that would seem rather odd tbth...especially given it starts "We the People of the United States..."...which he is not...

Does it matter?

If you value freedom of speech, does it really matter if you're a citizen?

 

[emeraldrafael]

I have nothing against him but if there's a solid reason to send him away I say tell him to go. He's from britain right so its not like he's going back to some third world african nation where he quality of life will drastically change. And if his home country doesn't like him well he should learn not to piss off each country he goes to.

But like Isaid I have nothing against him.

 

[Dangit2019]

Naw, we're keeping him. It is every UK actors dream to make it big enough to come to America.

OHHHHHHHHHHH


You Brits just gonna take that?

 

[Zantos]

I think that might be a part of it yes, but he's also an insufferable bell-end, which is probably a factor here.

I'm having a mild crisis here, in that I severely dislike the man but I seriously can't dislike what he said. Some recalibration may be required. This is worse than any time Clarkson has said something I agree with.

OT: I suppose unless Mr Pratt can make a slander case, don't Morgan's come under Freedom of Press? I don't like the guy, but on this occasion I don't think he's done anything illegal as a member of the press. I dunno, my knowledge on these things is a bit low, but calling someone you're interviewing on the news isn't illegal is it?
