I have no interest in what John Cleese has to say. He is an ultra-conservative who declines to pay taxes to a country he purports to care about. No taxation? No representation. Shut your gob.

America is welcome to him.
And Michael Caine. And Sean Connery.
Miserable old giffers.

The UK's slave labour program hits a new low.

No thanks, not interested in the smarmy ugly fucks. ESP Connery. But thanks for thinking of us. Those three kind of look alike, wouldn't you say?

Given my dreadful ability to recognise faces, I can't really say. But they all sound distinctive, so I can tell them apart...

"Shadders? On me lungs? I'm been etin away! Oh Gaod in Eaven Elp Me!"

Talking smarmy, you're welcome to Piers Morgan too.
And I'll send you Jeremy Cllarkson if I manage to run him over.

Every time I see an advert for Piers I want to smack him. They take the shot with his nose sticking up in the air, looking ever so pompous.

I don't know the guy from Adam, never watched, but those ads turn me right off.

OH, here's the pic. Bleh.

Me too! I don't know the ad you are talking about, but I hate his face.

Plus, he refuses to answer how he knows about private conversations that were hacked from Paul McCartney's cell phone. The guy is a crook or is protecting crooks.

Pic ads like on cnn.com, to get us to watch the show. That's the main pic I've seen used.

It's not working, for me.

Crook.

We don't have the 5th Amendment over here, so journos either lie or shut up. It means the same anyway.

Crook.

He's pretty much universally despised over here.

Few years ago on the old format Room 101, in the final show, Ian Hislop wanted to put Piers Morgan into the room.

I'm assuming you're referring to Hislop ?:P

He's one of my favourite people off've the telly. So clever, clever.

Well, not Morgan!

I liked Room 101 with Nick Hancock, personally.
I'm a stickler for the original.
