3 times Channel 4 hurled insults at Piers Morgan – but all in a good cause
There was much to admire and enjoy about Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer night but our favourite bit was probably this.
Dear @PiersMorgan. Hope you're having a wonderful morning. Why don’t you go and f**k yourself. #SU2CRewards,

And this.
Dear @PiersMorgan. Unfortunately our lawyers wouldn't allow us to say you're the single biggest wanker in the history of human civilisation. But you're in the top 1. #SU2CRewards

And this.
Dear @PiersMorgan. The only thing that Brexit Leavers and Remainers agree on is that you’re a massive bellend. #SU2CRewards,

The broadcaster insulted Morgan on behalf of anyone who gave £50 to the cause and it was money well spent in every sense.
Morgan was in on the gag of course, retweeting and occasionally replying in kind.
To the suggestion that he go fuck himself …
For the record, @Channel4 – if I could, I would.

And to this …
I learned everything about massive bellendery from @jonsnowC4. https://t.co/Tz1VKrEC1e

Not everyone enjoyed it though. Some, like this journalist from the Guardian, thought it was a big ball of wrong.

To which Morgan replied with this.
God, you're so right….
I've just realised I'm a VICTIM!
Will the @guardian take a 1000-word piece on my hell at the vile, abusive hands of @Channel4? https://t.co/RCqRzRsYCh— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 26, 2018
Everyone was friends in the end. Well, kind of.
We've been overwhelmed by your responses to #SU2CRewards and our creative insults, but #StandUpToCancer starts at 7pm so let's start spreading positivity. We'll start…@piersmorgan – we actually think you're ok! Thanks for being a good sport and helping raise some cash! https://t.co/ADVIWx3uJd
