- Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has taken on an anti-monarchist in a fiery debate as King Charles III’s upcoming coronation nears.
Piers Morgan and Alex O’Connor clashed on the value provided by the Royal Family after recent polling found nearly 40 per cent of young people would prefer an elected head of state.
Hope you all enjoyed the beginning of my sentences. Thanks for watching!
Piers is too afraid of you to let you speak.
I like how Piers makes you out to be a ‘radical’
PIN THIS COMMENT YOU P*SSIES
lmaoo piers likes the sound of his voice too much
Honestly, you did really well here, everyone can see how insufferable Piers is when he interrupts others and he's arguments were all terrible
Piers Morgan reminds me of my ex girlfriend. Starts an argument, interrupts me while I'm saying something, fills in the rest of what I'm saying in her own words and gets angry about it.
Classic
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant
Not just Piers. Black lady did exactly that, too.
Class analogy 😄
Piers is a good presenter but terrible debate host. The moment someone says something he disagrees with, he immediately interrupts, prevents them making thier pont and tries railroading them into his world view.
🤣🤣🤣 he has always done that 👍 and I’m on his side this time but truth is truth 👍
Mission accomplished
Just finished watching the whole thing, although I very much agree on this occasion he was CORRECTING her which he was fully entitled to do
@@caroldaniels5505 except he didn't correct her. He omitted a key phrase "non-white" when "correcting" her. Suspect as always
Spot on, mate; It irks me that he never allows a person who can reply sensibly actually finish their argument....
I love how Piers blames Harry and Meghan rather than Prince Andrew or Charles’ affair with Camilla as to the reason for the decline in support.
I absolutely detest MM but I think Harry made the right decision to get away from hereditary office. Harry has nothing in the UK. The money thrown away on that ridiculous coronation was obscene. That silver & gold dress worn by that woman had her children & grandkid’s names & her two dogs embroidered in gold onto it. How much did that cost?
He's a One Eyed asslicking royal scumbag.
@@cberry6751 ... The rich have to spend the money they have, for it to become available back in the economy.
Would you rather the money stayed in the bank ... Or maybe they give it to you?
Exactly. If anything, Harry and Meghan fiasco improved the support for monarchy.
Or Prince bloody Andrew!!
Alex really tried to inject some rationality into this conversation but Piers couldn't have that. Just had to keep cutting him off.
He was entirely irrational. His opinion isn't predicated on economics, political stability or success, influence, established ties and relationships with other countries. Its predicated on jealousy.
It's dumb and childish.
@@sacredgeometry Quite the opposite. The hereditary monarchy is a primitive insitution that has no place in the 21st century. It's a relic of the past. It's undemocratic, unfair and ridiculous. The British royal family is basically a bunch of glorified celebrities, except they are celebrities by the virtue of being born, not because they actually achieved anything like normal celbrities.
The idea that some people have a "higher status" than everyone else just because their parents are called "the King" and "the Queen" is absurd in today's world. Especially when you remember that the institution of monarchy is rooted in a dark past of imperialism, feudalism and religious fanaticism.
I'm pretty sure you don't need the royal family to attracts tourists. Turn the Buckingham Palace into a museum and I'm sure a lot of people will pay to see the throne room, the crown and all of this stuff.
@@sacredgeometry1:17 when is piers not totally irrational?
@@iainherridge6253 They are both irrational.
@@sacredgeometry"his opinion isn't predicated on" and that right there is where i stopped reading. Alex didn't get to finish answering questions because of Pierce's need to interrupt.
Piers is so good that he invites guests on his show, asks them questions, and then answers them himself
So you support a hereditary monarchy?

Hearing piers say “you gotta listen to what I’m saying” is one of the most ironic things I’ve seen for the past 45 days
He means "keep listening to what I'm saying until you agree with it."
But that's because she wasn't responding to what he said... how is that ironic in the context
"you gotta see what I'm saying....."
Not really since he’s the host and she expected to be heard but would NOT listen. That’s the real irony…the hypocrisy.
Listen to what? Not the injustice and hatred Monarchy has inflicted throughout the world.
Piers Morgan thinks the whole world is gonna watch the coronation like 80% of the world won't be working and caring about literally anything else 😂

He's a dick isn't he?! I'm trying to work out how to stop him coming up on autoplay on my RUclips
He didn’t shout once 🤷♂️
No, but he talks over people and thinks his opinion is the only right one. He has an obsession with Meghan and Harry and brings them up in a lot of interviews he does. He’s a dreadful interviewer.
@@dominicreade9342 It may be a question of pitch interpretation... I give you that. I don't think he was screaming out of the top of his lungs, as much as he could. Is age taking its toll?

Piers taking offence to Alex being an anti-monarchist AND an atheist has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen all week. By intentionally diverging from the topic of divine right to nitpick Alex's worldview, Piers is suggesting that he believes Charles to be appointed by God. What a flop.
Imagine caring about any of this while your country and ppl are being replaced by third worlders with a genetically lower IQ. Lmaoooo 😂😂
No one actually believes that anymore, there’s a lot of stuff needs deleting from the ritual, but that will come in time. But the royals do far more for the world than the despicable pair.
Well, if you follow Anglo-Saxon genealogy, Charles is descended from Wotan.
@@halfmoon106 they are all bunch of inbreds, with many pedophiles and other types of deviants
Piers is a conservative prude.He needs to be slapped and kept in his place.Good on Alex.
This is embarrassing and funny to me from start to finish because it’s clear someone doesn’t have the tough skin to be debated and so stops everyone from making their points or putting arguments across before everyone agrees they’ve completely annihilated him.
This guy believes in nothing
Carry on piers ignore the. Critic and negative comments
Harry or the others , royal or normal
Piers your a legend I'm sorry to say this country is fucked my theory is if you don't like what we stand for or our values in our country do one
If annihilate meant running ones mouth in criticism but having no answers, no facts on which to form an opinion is then you would be accurate.
Alex is so young yet so much more mature than Piers, who has no emotional intelligence at all when debating, acts like a hothead.
Exactly
the entitled royal family were of their time - that time is long over - why should i bow to a human being just because they fell out of the right womb??? - enough with this outdated shit
Alex turns up to a debate with nothing but false claims, then you are all suprised that Piers didn't entertain those false claims or want to waste the limited time discussing them, when they already have been discussed and debunked at length.
@@mancjay8946 no they haven't, and if he's bringing someone on to debate them and throws a load of ad hominems at him rather than actually attacking his argument he shouldn't be trying to debate at all. Piers Morgan is a garbage debater, stop the cope.
@@demon_hawkeye5269 there wasn't a single ad hominem attack in the entire interview 🤣
What are you on about?
He just interrupted Alex when he was talking bollocks, then literally attacked his argument. Did you even watch the video?
I get so fed up when people try to back up the royal family by mentioning “tourism” it’s a complete fallacy.
Tourists hardly ever see the royal family they look at buildings/historical objects/treasures
100% I doubt there's a single American or European or Asian or whoever that would cancel their flights to London if the Brits decided to become a republic
Imagine believing that people around the world plan holidays to spend thousands to come to London solely because of the Royal Family 😂. It's top tier delusion.
As a non-brit who has visited the UK, and knows many who have as well, no one gives a crap about those inbred idiots
France's palaces are quite a bit more popular among international tourists, and they haven't had a monarch for a while.
Exactly, we Asians agree, we don't give a shit about royals... Sometimes we even forgot that Britain was("is") a monarch 😂
Pierce never allow his guest to finish talking. It's like they come on the show and he talks to them
Morgan is not interested in other people's veiws, he prefers to just pontificate, lecture and indoctrinate people to his conservative Monarchist worldveiw which he believes is always right.
He's so blinded by his love of King Chuckie and his aristocratic family, he can't see the forest for the trees!
Pro monarch thinks he is a monarch status himself
Piers is utterly uninterested in listening the guests who disagrees with him. He seems to be of the conviction that he's always right and the "debates" are rather him trying to lecture people into adopting his believes without letting them voice any opposition. This man has no integrity as a show host.
No humility, no civility.
But he was right, Alex's claims were false.
They have been discussed at length.
All economic measures show the Royal Family put more money into the economy than they take from it.
Piers will listen to people he disagrees with if they are making sound factual points. Alex didn't.
@@mancjay8946 thing is getting rid of the monarchy doesn't have to remove the money that they put in. For example Buckingham palace can be for the president, other royal places can fully open up for visitors. The main problem is a philosophical one when it comes to monarchy, as everyone should be equal under the law, but monarchs are above the law by birthright. Also you can have a president without the president being a divisive figure, just look at how the system is set up in Finland for example, the president in Finland is basically like what a royal is, but only for a certain amount of years.
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 already covered this. No country in Europe attracts tourists to their PM or Presidents place of residence. It doesn't happen.
You have already spewed you "it's a philosophical problem" on another feed, it isn't.
You can't even keep track of who you have already had a discussion with, parrotting the exact same bullshit that you have been told explicitly is incorrect.
Are you dumb or something?
Or is ignorance just preferable to facts?
Nobody gives a shit about Finland.
@mancjay8946 Wrong.
I guess this was pointless. Just watching Piers suck up to Spencer because he is the only one who was supposed to be on side. Yet people who were there to provide a balanced argument were ignored or he just talked over them. Summary of British journalism really
When it’s an A-Lister like Colin Firth, telling Morgan that he doesn’t believe in monarchy, Morgan was more level headed. But when it’s someone younger and more articulate than him, he’s cracking.

Criticizing somebody for being an atheist is like critizing somebody who doesnt believe in santa claus. Piers just shows how deep rooted his personal bias is.
Christ cultist: "But but but even atheists worship something, it must be yourself / Gaia / Satan / Wokeism"
Athiest: "Actually no, I don't think about worship, like it literally doesn't come up in my thoughts. Pretty easy really."
Christ cultist: REEEEEEE
That wasn't a sensible thing to do. Especially as Alex is probably more intelligent than Piers.
@@catherinegrimes2308 There’s no probably about it.
Charles's ancestors conquered Britain by the sword, it has nothing to do with divine right.
Young people would prefer communism because they're smarter than their a ancestors especially in the West, because they think that they will be more equal!
Alex spoke well when given a chance. Shame he was barely given a chance.
Controlling a conversation is one thing, but repeatedly talking over guests and not allowing them to finish a thought is rude.
It’s called debate, plus Alex O’Connor talks absolute shite tbh.
It is but he was right here.
The African woman has no rights to English land. Her birth right is Africa if her father is African.
She has no say.
I'm Polish, grew up in Germany partly, and here since 2000.
I don't think I have the same rights as English people.
I feel I don't and so does everybody who has honor.
@@Adriana-vp1rm You understand the irony in your statement right?
This is the same family whose history is steeped in colonialism, institutionalised racism and slavery. What gave them the right to "rule" over vast swathes of Africa, Carribbean, North America, Asia/Australia-asia.
Many countries vehemently celebrate their independence against this very family look at the US. And here you are chatting absolute nonsense.
Ps. I'm a Brit and by your standards "can have a voice"
They didn't have any thoughts, just hyperbole
@@Adriana-vp1rm Wow - she doesn't have a right to English land? Even if she owns property? What year are we in? It's 2023, not 1939...
Piers is talking rubbish - how does the money goes back to the taxpayers? Some people are waiting a whole year for a operation from the NHS. It doesn't lined our pockets.
Shut up or learn something
To start with tourism alone from the royal family feeds the tax purse
Not to mention the king actually pays tax herself for her inland business
council tax he doesn't have to pay
All paid to parliament not the crown estate just like the rest of us
You are far to uneducated on this subject to make comments like that
The royal family has huge bank many of milti million pound company's
Take very little from the tax payer and most of the areas they take from the tax purse is in the interest of the people because taking it means they have to give more back
You really should listen to both sides of a story
Lol, if only it was that simple
That's parliament you need to go after, the ones who actually have the control. Royals produce money, parliament tends to steal money for their own pockets.
So you object to money being spent on the royal family and the coronation as you do not believe the country sees a return in that investment.. tell me what return we are seeing on the £5-7m A DAY currently being spent on housing ILLEGAL immigrants in hotels?
The left do not seem to complain about that money being spent. Not only that they are actively opposing any moves by the government to stop it. It’s errant hypocrisy.
You moan about the cost of living crisis, the state of the NHS, lack of affordable housing, oversized classroom sizes, public services grinding to a halt. Yet you never once look and realise we are over populated due to mass immigration. You’re completely blind to the problem. The NHS and other public services are literally crumbling under the weight of a userbase it was never designed to cater for, we’ve run out of houses because again we are housing people a country our size was never designed to house..and we have to tear up more of our countryside to build more, our schools are finding it difficult to cope because there are more children here than our schools were built to educate.
Stop being daft and open your eyes. Or at least accept that while we are throwing all this money we haven’t got at a problem we needn’t have.. at least let’s keep some of it to help sustain our own culture and traditions once in a while.
Have a nice day.
Piers pretends to be fair by having people on from different sides but then he talks across anyone who speaks sense and he's just a dick head now sadly, he should just go back to being a slimy reporter for the newspapers where his stupidness gets appreciated more
Yeah 'cause France and Ireland don't get any tourists
Yes they do. The palace of Versailles attracts more tourists than the uk
@@louised4260 Exactly. So the tourism pays for the monarchy defence is bullshit. I wouldn't care if Charles got the same guillotine treatment as Louis XVI

I love how reasonable Piers Morgan is when he invites guests on to give their opinions and provides them plenty of time to explain their views. He also stays on topic and is VERY respectful if they disagree with him. He doesn’t ever, and I mean NEVER, interrupt them. He is understanding of different views and gives guests plenty of time to express their points. And finally, he listens attentively to learn from others and doesn’t attempt to embarrass or railroad them with several different points followed by countless back to back questions fired at a rapid patter to try overwhelming them. Dare I say he is the greatest human being of all time! 🥰

What "exactly" does the royal family do for their citizens? In what fashion do they really serve the common people there, or do they? I'm American and would like to know.
.....and you identify as who? You know you Americans can now be anything you want. We wouldn't like to explain to sbakes, buffalos or even kettles.
What do the Kardahians do for America?
Why don't you Google's your question : It's very long and complicated, but they bring a lot to their people and certainly are more structured and bring over 1 and a half billion pounds into the British coffers.

@@bigjon576 the fact that younger kids love them and hang on every word they say and treat them like royalty
Piers was way out of line here. He tried to impose his opinion on the royals. Well done to the lad for keeping up.
The lad is an extremely intelligent young philosopher with his own youtube channel called the cosmicskeptic. On it he engages in intelligent long-form debate where both sides get to speak fully. When he interviews people he lets them speak but also challenges them on precisely what they say (rather than interrupting to give his opinion). Piers could learn an awful lot from him. I watched a 90 mins interview between him and Douglas Murray yesterday, which was the most respectfully probing examination of Murray's beliefs I've ever seen.
Morgan’s scapegoating of Harry and Megan for the fall of support for the monarchy is hilarious. Young people don’t believe in the monarchy for the same reason they are abandoning religion; they are no longer swayed by unquestioned tradition and entrenched privilege
As it says in the bible about the end of days, Satan will push hard to take over the world before Jesus dispatches him to the abyss, I see this clearly happening now. People are already killing babies despite contraception being available. That’s just one example.

Even when (not if) we do abolish the monarchy we won't burn down all the castles, palaces and other royal residences. We won't slash all their paintings or melt down the crown jewels. All that stuff will still be here and the tourists will still come to see it (like they do in republican France). They won't abandon their sightseeing trips to the UK just because there's no chance of them seeing a monarch. Let's be honest they were very, very unlikely to have seen one anyway.
In other countries you cab go around every inch of the castles and palaces and in many you can even sit on the beds etc. Ireland and France to name but two. I know because I have done it! Another great thing about Ireland is that children up to 16 can go in to all sporting events free!

Piers Morgan is the only person who can speak a sentence while simultaneously gobbling King Chuck's balls. I normally would have said Prince Andrew, but that's not realistic, since Piers is over 18 and it would be consensual.
Alex you killed it. Well done.
Alex Superstar!"
Yes its Morgan who as editor of a newspaper oversaw the hacking of celebrity phones and admited it in his book and was never prosecuted. Nice to have friends in high places isnt it.
am British in my 40s. Our Queen is gone. I think the monarchy should be abolished. I also agree on an elected head of state.
What will you do when a communist is elected?

The monarchy in the United Kingdom is an outdated institution that is no longer relevant or necessary in modern society. The role of the monarchy in government is largely ceremonial, with no real political power or influence. Despite this, the monarchy remains a highly expensive and divisive institution that perpetuates inequality and undermines democracy.
Firstly, the monarchy is a symbol of privilege and elitism. The royal family is born into a life of luxury and privilege, with no need to work for their position or wealth. This creates a stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots, perpetuating inequality and social injustice. Additionally, the monarchy perpetuates a hierarchical system that favors those who are born into wealth and power, rather than those who work hard and contribute to society.
Secondly, the monarchy is a drain on the public purse. The cost of maintaining the royal family, including their residences and security, is a significant burden on taxpayers. According to some estimates, the cost of the monarchy to taxpayers is over £300 million per year. This money could be better spent on improving public services, such as healthcare and education, that benefit all citizens.
Thirdly, the monarchy undermines democracy. While the monarchy does not have any real political power, its existence implies that some individuals are more important and deserving of respect than others. This goes against the principles of democracy, which hold that all citizens are equal and should be treated as such. Furthermore, the hereditary nature of the monarchy means that there is no meritocracy involved in selecting the head of state, which undermines the values of hard work and merit.
Finally, the monarchy is a remnant of the country's colonial past. The royal family has a history of association with the British Empire, which has been responsible for numerous atrocities and injustices around the world. By maintaining the monarchy, the UK is effectively endorsing this legacy and failing to acknowledge the harm that was done. This undermines the country's moral authority and its ability to be a force for good in the world.
In conclusion, the monarchy in the United Kingdom is an expensive, elitist, undemocratic, and divisive institution that has no place in modern society. The abolition of the monarchy would promote greater equality, save taxpayers' money, strengthen democracy, and send a powerful message about the country's values and priorities. It is time for the UK to join the majority of countries in the world that have already abolished the monarchy and embrace a more democratic and equal future.
And to those who state that the monarchy doens't cost anything and makes money for the UK:
The cost of the monarchy is actually quite significant. While it's true that the monarchy brings in some revenue from tourism and other sources, this is outweighed by the cost of maintaining the royal family and all of their associated expenses. According to some estimates, the cost of the monarchy to taxpayers is over £300 million per year, and this doesn't even include the cost of security or the indirect costs associated with the monarchy's impact on democracy and equality.
The argument that the monarchy brings in revenue ignores the fact that this money could be generated in other ways. If the UK were to abolish the monarchy and replace it with a more democratic and equal system, it's likely that this would actually attract more tourists and generate more revenue over the long term. Additionally, there are other ways to generate revenue that don't involve maintaining an expensive and undemocratic institution.
Even if the monarchy does bring in some revenue, this doesn't justify its existence. The monarchy is not just a financial issue - it's also a moral and political issue. By maintaining an undemocratic and elitist institution, the UK is sending a message that some individuals are more important and deserving of respect than others. This goes against the principles of equality and democracy, and it undermines the UK's ability to be a leader on these issues in the world.
So, while it's true that the monarchy in the UK brings in some revenue, this doesn't justify its existence. The cost of the monarchy is significant, and the negative impact that it has on democracy and equality cannot be ignored. It's time for the UK to join the majority of countries in the world that have already abolished the monarchy and embrace a more democratic and equal future.
Oh…do pipe down!
We don't want president and corrupt leaders.. our institution is the best of both worlds.. many countries are envy of our system. I'm 27 yrs old and I want to keep our monarchy. 🎉❤

How on earth does he make everything about M&H😭 it’s actually embarrassing and obsessed with them
Absolutely. Thank heavens, a lot of reasonable people here ,You are all to be applauded.
hes madly in love with Meg
"Anyone" in my book who betrays their family for more fame & money, has stooped to the lowest of humanity. Blood is thicker than water and we must learn to LOVE our family unconditionally & work out our differences behind closed doors instead of permanently recording it in a BOOK for the World to speculate & judge without knowing the full story. SHAME on Harry & Mehgan for betraying their family.
What he says about M&H is the truth. He is one of the few people out there who refuses to kiss their ass
@Mercedes C St hilaire ahaha he wanted to shag Meghan but got mugged off. That's why he's so spicy🤣
I think we’ve all noticed they are just fancy beneficiaries
How uneducated you are😂😂
The future is no monarchy 😂
Piers Morgan is a journalist a major critic who works for the British royal family he hold hands with king Charles lol
From what I gather, William's settlement was one of many, made to individuals who didn't want to go to court, on the condition the payments stayed private.
It seems there’s no such thing as an NDA so perhaps the one with the money should tie the grifters up with years of litigation?
And of course he give it to charity.
Charles could feed half of starving Britons with his delicious sausage fingers.
What laws has he enforced? What legislation has he done?
Yet he and his rabble take our hard earned money so that he and his are fed, watered, clothed and have castles, palaces and fine houses to live in etc! People where I live earn at most £1,500 a month and the cheapest rents are £900 per month and that is for a two bed where those with children have siblings of both sexes sharing one bedroom. In fact the local councillor told one family they could put the oldest son in the kitchen. There was no room for wardrobes and each child had a box on their bed with their clothes in. I am just an ordinary member of the public yet it was I that helped that family. I found a 3 bed house for them from a friend at £500 per month and gave them half my furniture so they had beds, settee and wardrobes.
@@karenhogan-t5w Yeah their greed is hard to tolerate, when others are barely getting by. Why should the taxpayers support their rich lifestyle? They are simply rich people, they are not legislators or rulers. Like many say, they are the tourist industry, but people like you are not benefiting from that.
Reparations is the stupidest thing ive ever heard 😩
Piers Morgan: The Monarchy are purely ceremonial. They have no executive power.
Also Piers Morgan: Would you rather be ruled by Boris Johnson?
@Neicha Reich are you a monkey?
This is where you are wrong, the sacked our elected Prime Minister in 1975 in Australia.
@Neicha Reich Noble Blood? They say it is blue, King Edward married a divorced Women and could no longer be the head of the Anglican Church so he had to abdicate had he not Elizabeth would not have been Queen. King Charles married a divorced Woman. I understand you love royalty as they are mostly Noble German Blood.
@Neicha Reich Royalty a race ? Cambodian royalty with a German Surname ? Close but no Cigar!

@@mazzid9973 absolutely, I'm Swedish, and I'd rather keep our monarchy, and Norwegians and Danes wish to keep theirs.

They have a president that nobody ever takes notice of.
@annsandlund8376 That's interesting. Thank you for telling me.
The Danish Princess Mary is originally Australian, she met Prince Frederick in a bar in Tasmania, they dated secretly for a year or so, she began to learn to speak Danish. We watched their wedding on TV all those years ago, now I think their oldest child is 17 yrs and then they have twins around 11 and another younger one, she will one day be Queen when Fredrick is crowned King 🤴I hope they'll show that on TV too if I live long enough. 😉 👍❤️😊🌹🦘🇦🇺
True.
And they have shown themselves to be self-serving and bow to their wealthy corporate donors. Witness what is happening in US and UK.
Frightful.
Having a constitutional non-political monarchy provides a bulwark
Cant imagine why Alex agreed to this appearance?
Tbf it made him look good and exposed Piers' inability to have a dispassionate discussion on this topic. Also we caught glimpses of some pretty solid arguments from Alex.
Because she is desperate for fame
Why should we respect the royal family? Andrew was best friends with a sex offender and was accused of being one too which was hushed by money from the queen, fergi was having a toe sucking affair with her solicitor,Phillip was a racist who caused a family injuries after a crash with him not wearing a seatbelt and that was written off, Charles was heard having an affair with camilla talking about how he wished he was her tampon, not to mention the whole Diana coverup, I don't like any of them but Harry and Megan where right to get away
Oh and I forgot , who was Charles best mate .....JIMMY SAVILLE
@@PaulaHighamgray-xz2uj And Jimmy Saville was friends of many famous people ???? What about them ??????? The BBC loved him !!!!!!

Piers Morgan loves the sound of his own voice so much that he didn't let Alex speak at all❤
Well done Alex with whatever limited screen time you got
Piers got smoked! His debate style of just talk over them until they stop talking is painful to watch
Thank you Mr Morgan, you reintroduced me to Mr O'Connor. Alex even has the inflection of Christopher Hitchens. I really enjoyed Morgan facing someone who easily outmatched his bully tactics with a very calm, elegant demeanor. By Morgan's face, he looked tired and knew it too.

He makes money

@@chrisradford6796 My words exactly, except the people who actually listens to him dont realize it
It’s like rich people saying “they hate me because I’m rich” no it’s because you’re so wealthy you or your family could not spend that kind of money in 100 lifetimes. It’s not Rich. It’s greedy.

I don’t see the relevance of your comment to be honest people are against them because they are born into unelected positions we have no say over
@@jacob4690 They have no say over you either.
Whenever I debate the monarchy issue I always lead with this "Can we agree that the idea of ruling by divine right and hereditary bloodline is immoral?". If the answer to that is no, then I already know we are at an impasse and I am wasting my time as we have two incredibly different views on morality. Honestly, anyone saying no to that question should be a major concern.
They aren't "ruling" people's lives nor government. So your concern dies right there and then. Yours is a desire to settle an ideological resentment. You are welcome. Your life can now be reset.
ICIKLE: Here I am, a major concern! You see, I don't think it's a matter I should judge in terms of morality, I'd rather say the concept doesn't make sense. So, my answer to the question is "no, it's not immoral, it's just stupid!"
@@mrandrews3303 You know immoral and stupid are not mutually exclusive right?
@@icikle That's fine by me, but as I said before, I would not put the issue in terms of "moral VS immoral".
@@mrandrews3303 There's absolutely a moral question to be asked here. Why should a single family have ridiculous wealth and privilege thrust upon them on the taxpayers dime because their ancestors happened to be decent at conquest? Why should only one family ever get to be head of state of the nation? These are moral issues.
Right-wing monarchists complaining about woke royals. It's as if it would be better if they have a say in the matter 🤣🤣🤣
Guy became a bit diffucult for piers so he had to frame him as a johnson fanboy😂
Piers is so rude, he never let's people to speak.

As per usual.

@@robertharding570 he was defending an indefensible institution
Piers Morgan disrespected the monarchy and in the past had no problem with his mates breaking the law by spying on members of the royal family. So what is different now, did they threaten him and making him do a deal where he gets off the hook so long as he now does their bidding?
A debate would involve two sides actually getting their points across to one another which Piers didn’t allow Alex to do at all. Piers still lost but somehow managed to lose despite (or maybe because) he barely allowed Alex to complete a sentence.
Wow! I didn't know that monarchists were so self deluded into this. Wow, just wow. Im feel really sorry for them. Baffling.
I’m American. Wife is British. It really opens your eyes to how a country can brainwash you. I am self aware of my American brainwashing towards violence and war but I am working on it. That being said the idea of someone ruling over me with the title of a King in 2023 makes me violently angry.
@@JohnDoe-gn4xjThen stay in your country yankee boy and let us govern our own affairs. The world will be a better place when Americans just shut the fuck up about other counties
BTW, Piers is INCREDEIBLYU annoying. He asks a question, lets the guest get about 4 words out of their mouth, and then cuts them off...again and again and again and again and again....
They earn their keep thru tourism = a questionable assumption.. No tourist is ever likely to see a royal in the flesh.. they go there for the Royal buildings , statues and palaces the sights to see.. France is the most visited country in the world.. they have no royal family.. people go there for the Eiffel tower the food ,culture and museums.
They Provide a stable figurehead = questionable again.. they are seemingly stable because they are not simply figureheads, they are above the law, they don't need a drivers licence, or a passport or to pay taxes and they cannot be prosecuted in a court of law.. Why? because they are the Law they own the law.. Charles is the Sovereign ..look at them they are a laughing stock and a source of national embarrassment, do you think Andrew will ever see the inside of a courthouse for what he has gotten up to? never
The British empire Started to decline as the American empire started to rise.. why? Because Americans started to evolve beyond kings and queens and so called royalty.. perhaps Britain needs to evolve as well.
The Elysse Palace where French monarchs lived has more tourism than anything else in France.
@@halfmoon106 isn't that another good argument to vacant the Buckingham Place?
@@zeber75 I support the monarchy because it makes leftist scum like you angry. God save the King.
When I was younger I wasn't a fan of the royal family as I got older I came to respect the Royal Family and understand that they give continuity to the country instead of being in constant flux, as are countries with elected heads of state. Even though they carry no real power they show the country is still England.
Other countries don’t need a monarchy to draw continuity from; in a democratic society people draw continuity from democratic institutions, from a shared democratic project
Pretty silly statement.
@@jd4121 - other countries don’t have thousands of years of unbroken tradition and political adaption stretching from Alfred the Great through to . . . whatever Charles wants to be.
@@fletcherhamilton3177 thanks for making my point for me 👍
The whole point of the Royal Family is to be effectively ‘powerless’ and thusly occupy that space to prevent potential contenders from trying to achieve excess power for themselves. I’ve never really heard any anti-monarchy argument that didn’t boil down to _’They’re rich and I’m jealous!’_ or _They’re preventing the revolutionary change that I want to occur!’_ . . . 🙄
damn the boot licking in this video is insane... "it's a hard working family" "they dedicated their lives" my ass
Ill shake hands and live in a palace for a billion dollars. If thats hardworking then count me in
That young woman is brighter and more on point than Piers Morgan.
There are so many interesting quotes from this: Piers: "They perform HUNDREDS of duties every year!" OMG hundreds of duties!! haha. So they handle like 0-1 duties per day? Well, then they definitely deserve to be King and Queen! Also, when the other guy asks "what are suggesting as an alternative?", as though he really has no idea as to what any other options. It reminds me of the universal healthcare debate in the US. Politicians and media personalities always say things like "yeah, there are problems with the health care system, but what could we possibly do about it?" Then someone who has studied the subject starts to speak, but gets cut off by the host: "Well, we're out of time! We'll see you after the commercial!"
How dumb are you? He’s referring to all of the royal family. If they did 2 duties per week each then that would be well into the hundreds. What school did you go to.
They act like universal Healthcare is this crazy, unreasonable, Communist agenda. Meanwhile damn near all the successful 1st world nations we're culturally similar to have some form of it, and look at America's Healthcare with abject horror.
Princess anne does a shit load of charity work you dip shit
This Piers guy really doesn't know how to debate.... So defensive it's actually hilarious to watch😂😂
Not once was a single tangible example given of the “Hard work” that they allegedly do. Just buzzwords. Piers brushed the question to his meathead friend, who proceeded to stumble over his words, say nothing, and immediately change the subject.
Check into what they do. They have very productive charities that spend hundreds of millions of pounds every year for youth and actually really good programs. Regardless of what you've assumed about them you should have a look for yourself. Cheers
They probably work much harder than you do.
@@dianehall2248 no they don’t
@@dianehall2248I work more than 15 hours a week, meaning I’m already working harder than our so called “King”
@@billwillson5361They don’t have a single productive charity, the royals allow charities to put their name on it in some futile attempt to make it sound like they’re doing work.
The only thing they’re good for is going on TV and telling citizens what they should be doing, not actually doing anything themselves.
Prince Charles charity taking bags of cash from Saudi. Prince Andrew and his behaviour. Sadly respect for our royalty as our country has gone. RIP my Queen.
Alex absolutely destroyed Piers here.
When Piers asked whether Alex would either want a Boris or Liz as opposed to a King/Queen I laughed because his question presupposes that Kings/Queens can't be bad people/leaders. Atleast with someone like a prime minister or president, he/she is democratically elected.
Yeah and Like I would prefer having Boris at the head than little Prince George or Prince Harry or Prince Andrew anyday. George is a kid while Harry acts like one. Andrew had some friends who slept with kids.
All of these people are in the line of succession and we can't get rid of them peacefully like we did with an elected head of state.
At least he should have answered, there were tyrannical monarchs like Charles the 1st or hated like Charles the 2nd or James the 2nd. 😅. In France, we have republican monarchs who are the French Republic President. We do elect him or her. But his / her power is too great. British people please do not make the same mistake.
Let us remember that the thousands of people who queued up to see the queens coffin were a tiny minority of the UK population. The vast majority didnt bother. The long lines consisted of largely of southern English and visiting tourists as far as i could see. All this monarchy thing is a part of the celbrity adoring cult we have in this country. Its beyond belief how so many hold these "royals" in such high regard.
Yes, and it was thousands, not millions. The 'incredible queue' was a manufactured spectacle. If we can get 100,000 into Wembley stadium in what, an hour, then why did it take 5 days for just 250,000 to view the royal corpse?
Some couldn’t afford the fares as they have families to feed , some are disabled in these days we have perfect television coverage, so it’s not necessary to jostle for spaces.
Only communists and papists hate the monarchy.
It's clear that piers attempts to coerce guests with opposing opinions into saying whatever he wants them to and when they don't, he interrupts. Very unprofessional and quite pathetic.
Same old Piers, his opinion is the only one that matters and he hears only himself.
Well, I replayed it, several times… I’m a 60 year old, white, heterosexual male…
Sounded like a dog whistle to me!
Abolish the royals an unnecessary expense
"tourisme pays for them" ok well in that case the billions earned by tourism would be better spent elsewhere, say, oh I don't know, on the NHS? Instead of paying for the monarchy to have michelin 5 star meals twice/day?
"they bring in more money than they cost" he invented this fact. the entire tourism argument assumes that these tourists visit the UK SOLELY because of the monarchy, in other words, the implication is that without the monarchy there would be WAY fewer tourists. I think it's a safe assumption to make that a very VERY small fraction of annual tourists are solely motivated by the royal family, rather these tourists visit the UK/London because there are thousands of incredible attractions in London, and only ONE of those thousands is indeed the monarchy and all it entails. If the royal family vanished overnight, I think tourism would be affected by less than 0.1%, and anyone who truly thinks that a significant portion of tourists visit the UK solely because of the existence of the royal family is utterly deluded.
People would still go see the castles , jewelry etc. even without the existence of the monarchy that does belong in a museum with all things medieval .
Tourist here I actually went to Scotland and northern Ireland. History against the monarch is more interesting
Not Piers blaming Meghan and Harry for people realizing how useless the british monarchy is
