Piers Morgan

We have a very strong establishment in this country, which is a bit of an anathema to Americans who don't really understand it. It comes down from the royal family, from a sense of class that we have in this country, of privilege, of wealth, going back to the wealthy landowners who ruled the roost and the peasants were all doing all the hard graft.

And it's not like that anymore, but certainly there's still this sense of the establishment. And if you dare to take on the establishment, then you can end up in very hot water very quickly. And people here are probably naturally slightly more polite than Americans about these things, slightly more reverential. We still doff our cap to the monarchy, which you will find completely absurd.

But I always think if it hadn't been for Mad King George III, you would still have a monarchy and you might even have King Piers. And wouldn't things be better for America if you did? But I think it's a fair criticism. Americans do tend to have that...

That's why I think one of the great moments of the election for Trump was the fight, fight, fight when he got shot, was that instinctive combative streak of fight. We are a nation of fighters here too, but we've been battered into submission, particularly on issues like free speech. I feel very uncomfortable.

When I see people, you know, grandmothers being rounded up and put in prison for something they put on Facebook, even if what they're putting is offensive and horrible and vile, actually, as Churchill himself said, the thing about free speech is it's not listening to stuff that you agree with. It's about the ability to hear things you really don't agree with.

vehemently, but accepting that someone's right to free speech. Now, I get there are lines about incitement to hatred and violence. Of course there are. But really, old people gobbing off on Facebook, they're going to prison. When you think about types of people who don't go to prison these days, I think a lot of people in Britain feel uncomfortable about this creeping censorship.

And as someone who lost his job, big job here, over a really crude example of censorship. That's an example where, ironically, the UK regulator for television, which, again, Americans wouldn't understand what that concept is, but we have a television regulator called Ofcom who regulate how people can behave on the airways.

They ended up finding in my favor and said that had I not been able to say what I said that day on Good Morning Britain about Meghan Markle, it would have been a chilling infringement of my free speech rights. But why is a media company having to be told that by the television regulator? Completely bizarre.
