PIERS MORGAN SPOKE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

"On Monday I said I didn't believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I have had time to reflect on this opinion and I still don't believe her. If you did or still does, its OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I am happy to die on. Thanks for all the love and hate. I am off to spend more times with my opinions." - Piers Morgan

With the statement Piers Morgan vows to die and be buried with his conviction. It is the right thing to do and it makes him a man of character, who has a core and also conviction. ICHEOKU strongly believes that what is good for the goose should also be good for the gander and that free speech should not be predicated on the lips or fingers making it. It should be applied universally and in uniformity; or not applied at all. What Meghan Markle said about the royal palace was outrageous to so many people especially the British people whose Queen was disparaged by her. So, why was she not canceled? But Piers Morgan who rose in defense of the royal household was canceled as being "outrageous" for not believing Meghan Markle. 

ICHEOKU says what is the standard of judgment here and whose sensibilities governs the action on cancellation. It was the same reason Socrates was forced to drink cyanid because he posited that the earth was round, which to the thought process prevalent in those years, was a sacrilege. They demanded that he retract what he said and revert to the ordered opinion in the society that the earth was flat, but convinced on his opinion he refused and drank the poison instead. Several centuries later he was proved right and those who demanded he changed his opinion were proved the wrong fellas, admitted the damage they caused him was irreversible. 

ICHEOKU says supports and stands with Piers Morgan fully and completely because he is a man who stands by his conviction and so should everyone else be allowed to hold firm to what they believe in and not be forced to believe what others believe just to satisfy the blood lust of some vengeful individuals. Piers Morgan spoke for so many millions of people especially those without formidable voice. To hell with cancel culture.
