Read our privacy policy Piers Morgan has banned the “stupid and racist” people who are against the Black Lives Matter protests from watching his breakfast show Good Morning Britain. Taking inspiration from Yorkshire Tea, the divisive journalist explained how the company banned a Twitter user after they wrote: “I’m dead chuffed that Yorkshire Tea hasn’t supported BLM.” “Yesterday we had some troll popping up saying how happy they were how Yorkshire Tea hadn’t endorsed Black Lives Matter,” Morgan explained. “So Yorkshire Tea banned that person, boom, gone, please do not buy our tea again.” He added: “They were joined by PG Tips in solidarity and PG Tips piled in and offered their support.” Laughing at the situation, the presenter carried on: “The thing about racists is they’re often so stupid, she will think she is banned. That’s it.’ A lifetime ban for being racist or stupid, and we can’t have stupid people watching our programme, so if you are stupid or if you are racist don’t watch it.” The presenter smiled: “Don’t watch it with the smart non-racist viewers, those are the ones we want watching.
