What is Piers Morgan's net worth? Ex-GMB anchor asks fans to 'help an old jobless man' by buying his
Morgan says his book is a 'call for a defense of freedom of speech and the right to have an opinion and an end to this ridiculous cancel culture that is currently wrecking our society'
Piers Morgan, who last month parted ways with ‘Good Morning Britain’ after making disparaging comments on Meghan Markle, has decided to milk his exit for book sales. He took to Twitter, as he often does, and asked his nearly eight million followers to “help an old, jobless man in his hour of need”. Sharing a video of himself from the office of his home, where he had stacked shelves with his own book, Morgan said, "It's also the publication day for the paperback of my book, ‘Wake Up’, which is a call for a defense of freedom of speech and the right to have an opinion and an end to this ridiculous cancel culture that is currently wrecking our society.”
‘Wake Up: Why the World Has Gone Nuts’ is Morgan’s eleventh book. It has been called by critics a “cherry-picked attack on ‘woke’ culture”. Morgan in his Twitter video exhorted fans: “Let's get back to what made Britain great -- the ability to disagree with each other and then go and have a pint at the pub, not try and wreck each other's lives for difference of opinion. If you want to buy the paperback, and show your support for this campaign, then go to Tesco, Asda, WH Smith, Sainsburys or get online with Amazon.”
