- Steve Coogan says that Leveson 2 was cancelled due to "fear" of media titans such as Murdoch - and he is not ready to give up trying to bring those suspected of phone hacking to justice.
The actor says he would back a police investigation into the practices of journalists - saying there will be private prosecutions if an investigation is not opened.

If there's the slightest chance that Piers Morgan could go to prison, on behalf of the entire world please. please, please pursue it.
A gagging order would do.
Do they do XXXL gags?
@@Thoughts_from_a_Small_IslandAn airtight gagging order.
😂
😂
Piers Morgan in court, bring it on.
How about prison?
@ Even better😁
Right! I am ready for it.
@@alisdairmclean8605 Lock him up and throw away the key
If piers Morgan does not end up in jail if he's sued, he'll have to give up all the information he's sitting on, otherwise, he will end up in jail.
Piers Morgan hacked Milly Dowers phone & admitted listening to the messages so he could run an exclusive newspaper story
Piers has a black heart.
Did he hack and record some people of power, which is why he still gets shows and work?
Did he hack anything he can use for blackmail?
And having hacked that phone it gave the police the impression she was still alive.
@@Dylanesque This☝️
@@virginiaredden3606 Piers Morgan is evil to his core.
Piers Morgan is anthrax to journalism
😂😂😂
but, do you condemn Hamas?
No one believed Pier's testimony. Please take him to court and have him jailed.
YES YES YES send Morgan to JAIL
Morgan should be jailed
Along with Murdoch & Blair.
The prisons are full with a lot of people who’s done a lot less.
Would love to see him finally arrested
Well done Steve Coogan. Brave man. Honest.
Coogan is as'' brave'' as a dead sheep.
@@frankbrennan1619 And a dead sheep brought down Thatcher - so your point is somewhat neutered.
@@mustrumridcully3853 Ah but it was an honest dead sheep & so certainly NOT of the Coogan variety....
@mustrumridcully3853 Coogan has been criticised for his movie which made out sine university teacher was misogynistic. Maybe Coogan should be more careful in future to fact check. innit, boy
@@B.A.Pilgrim There is a difference between fact checking and downright illigality as I am sure you know. NGN explicitly admitted massive illegal acts in their statement over decades - which caused huge stress to numerous people. Or dont you remember Millie Dowlers phone being hacked which lead the Police astray? There is a level of perspective you seem to be missing out of bias towards Coogan - I am no fan, but even Coogan deserves his privacy.
There should be a public go fund me set up to raise money to prosecute Piers Morgan. He may have the backing of Elon Musk but if the evidence shows he is guilty it wont help him. Lets show that the British public still value justice.
That is an excellent idea; no one favours Morgan. A petition to show public support for the officials and the Prime Minister. Bluesky and X will sign
Since when did Piers have ‘the backing’ of Elon. Never.
The British public may value justice. I'm pretty sure the British Establishment doesn't.
Morgan has the backing of Charles and William. Not Elon
Crown prosecution needs to put Piers Morgan in the Dock...private prosecution by Harry.
GET MORGAN STEVE!
Go for Morgan's jugular.
I though vampires don't bleed?
No single composition of atoms has caused more damage than Rupert Murdoch
Nicely put!
The sooner he does the better, sadly he'll not be in prison at that time.
Net 'n' Yahoo: "am I a joke to you?" 😅
Justice please!!
Not going to happen. The powers that be are the powers that will remain. The combination of Murdoch and the State of Israel are just too powerful.
Did morgan not boast about how hacking phones was easy peasy
Yes to Jeremy Paxman.
Did he hack things he could use as blackmail to stay safe and employed?
Do I need tinfoil?
He also told Charlotte Church to change her pin to avoid hacking. He also told Ulrikka Jonsson that he'd listened to her voicemails to Sven Goran Errikson
There's a video of Piers morgan explaining to a woman reporter how to hack someone's phone messages. If you didn't change your password, they could hack your messages. I saw the video. It's atrocious, that he's even lying about this.
Brooks perjured herself, the Murdoch admission as much as proves that.
Exactly this. The explicit statement by the Murdoch empire said they commited crimes while Brooks was on duty as Editor.
So? Who/what can hold her accountable? The metro police was committing crime with too, so they( the police) will never find themselves accountable
It is past time Chanel 4 made a P/O scandal type series, based on these events.
We all know that Piers Morgan was part of the coverup. The man is despicable. Perhaps he didn't hack himself, but he had to have known it was happening 🤔. Forgoodness sake, he did a tutorial on video about the phone hacking happening and said openly there is no way phones weren't being hacked. Hopefully, his day of reckoning is coming.
The question is when will that toxic Morgan go to jail? Or is he too famous and above the law?
Of course he is just like his orange friend across the pond
Not too famous
He did hack and record some very powerful people.
What hacks have never been publicly released?
Did he get blackmail material?
We don't know.
@@yt.personal.identificationlike his vile friend Dan Wooton.
Morgan is being protected by the little hats. This will go nowhere.
The law is designed to allow the rich to break that law. It needs to change.
Time for the Police to get involved.
The police are culpable. You can’t trust them to investigate.
I know Morgan has done even worse but back in the day Paul Gasgoine was having a mental breakdown and telling friends and family that people were listening to his phone calls. He was told he was just imagining it but Morgan was hacking him, disgraceful.
The law is wrong to make complainants foot the bill for defendants who have broken the law.
Awkward for Maitlis as Piers is her friend and is close to him 🙄
These laws are very unjust. They need to be changed. And yes, the police should investigate.
Piers is such a greaseball
They can literally call a private investigator “my source” and it’s their legally recognised right to reveal nothing about them, whilst simultaneously being able to print what they got them to criminally dig up.
We need to oursue this and put Piers Morgan behind bars for 10 years.
Only 10? :(
This is the way to go. The Sun’s unequivocal apology means:
1) that persons contracted by newspapers broke the law; in any other profession, this would mean that those who used their services also need to be investigated
2) it’s the duty of the press to know everything that happens; is it believable that they were ignorant of what was happening under their noses with their own contracts? Isn’t that stupidity if not collusion?
3) in my experience, newspapers never publish anything without confirming the genuineness of the source material. Surely it’s inconceivable that they would have published this stuff without asking how the private detectives had got the information!
The tabloid press reminds me of the thief you are chasing who points in a different direction and says: He went that way! Every time you focus on the criminal, he points to a royal squabble. That’s an obvious diversionary tactic. This is not about the royals. It’s about the press doing criminal acts against everyone.
Time for piers morgan to go to prison for his crimes, his systemic attacks on people like megan and harry needs punishing.. it was always wrong, he has endangered peoples lives and lied consistently
I hope the police investigate that slippery get Morgan.
I agree with you . Morgan should go to jail. No one is above the law !!!
When the Daily Liar has the largest news website tells us they have no influence any more.. Tell us that Murdoch has no influence now.
Tell us that crime doesn't pay when PM still has a media career.
The law needs changing in terms of being able to hold corporations/individuals to account via the court system. Brookes and Morgan shouldn’t be walking around free it’s shocking. The police with the CPS need to investigate…….as things stand our justice system is a joke.
All power to you Steve.
Piers Morgan said "he didnt know how to hack a phone", but he knows a man who can!.
Cannot stand morgan, obvious why he went to America.
Thank you Steve.
I have always said that Morgan is a liar and should be held to account. Lying under oath is criminal.
You just have to watch Morgan’s performance, available on TH-cam, in the Leveson Inquiry to see that he was lying. Hardly an Oscar winning performance.
Show the huge business connection map of Murdoch's international mega media empire. It is global. That really brings it home to people.
Murdoch owns Internet providers, Mobile phone networks, News networks, Movie production, TV Networks, TV production businesses, Sports networks, etc etc.
That's just in Britain. He has this same setup in USA, Italy, Greece. Turkey, etc etc.
I always thought Piers Morgan lied, he should be sweating, pursue him!!
Lock up Piers
Private investigators, what ROLLOX. Murdoch does just what he wants, he knows he will never be held to account!.
Lock up Piers Morgan. Harry needs to sue him and leave him penniless. Don't ease up on non of them Harry, nasty people..
Brian Harvey been shouting this from the rooftops FOR YEARS.
Onya Steve. Spot on re the power of Fear. If only if only if only fear were not the wall of silence. Courage and bravery to turn and face the tiger!
And deep enough pockets. £25M is not a piffling sum to find, especially for the man in the street.
It's called a Calderbank offer and must be made/expressed as such at the time of the offer. It makes a hard choice.
Start a gofundme to sue them , half the country are sick of these charlatans manipulating the other half.
Morgan is a disgrace. Let’s not go the American way and let a criminal walk away without any recriminations, please.
Murdock is responsible for "the American way"
Piers Morgan insists to this day that he was unaware of the hacking, but that is a lie.
The printed media is the province of billionaires, conglomerates & propaganda. The new social media is also the province of billionaires, conglomerates & propaganda. And the means by which to change things is: ....the province of billionaires, conglomerates & propaganda.
This case is extremely important for all taxpayers and their beneficiaries. Someone should petition to encourage top officials to bring a case forward. There will not be another opportunity to get Murdoch
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
The people out there that still believe politics will sort their life out are going to be very, very disappointed!
Take his carreer down already!
Wouldn't the UK be a very different (and fairer) place if the legal system was entirely overhauled to allow everyone, rich or poor, fair and affordable access to the law and justice. The archaic system we have is stacked entirely towards those with means therefore there are tiers of citizenship based on access to money, and therefore power.
So, the law perceives purpose of these suits to be financial and not an attempt to expose malfeasance?
If you own the media you own the country.
How they got away with this has always completely dumbfounded me
Emily again trying to defend Morgan. Morgan issued a qualified statement. Like a 'fence' in a theft, - he didn't steal from the shop, nor did he know how to rob the shop, but he still ended up with the stolen swag, from the shop, knowing what was happening all the time.
Yes, but handling stolen goods has a higher possible criminal penalty than theft.
Bravo !!!!!!!
a partridge in a piers tree
😂
Piers Morgan lies.............
Emily Maitlis thats what actual bravery and justice looks like, wonder if you knew ...
This is the real 2 tier justice system
One Thumbs down. Piers Morgan?
The fact Piers had to read that statement, screams shady af guilt. Pleading ignorance while reading a script 🤔
I can't ookk at Morgan without thinking of MILLY DOWLER 🤮😡👿🤬
Phone hacking is a crime.It's the responsibility of the police to arrest, bring evidence ( of which there is ample evidence, not least from the very people doing it) and charges brought. It should not be up to the victims to seek justice.
Don't buy The Sun
Very few people do.
Go Steve! GOOOOO!
Piers Morgan knew how to hack a phone. He wrote about it in his book.
Wow he looks and talks different than normal . He's also spot on , lock Piers up . Lol
NGN should have paid punitive damages just as its cousin in the US
spit it out fella, sssstttttsssttttt unless its off a script, actors cannot put a sentence together
Piers Morgan lies when he’s asleep.
Time to overhaul the law. Why are the politicians not asking questions.
The problem with all the talking heads they are egotists shouting down anyone who doesn't comply to the narrative Also how can an editor not know how any story is investigated and compiled The people are the police the pertinent part of a statement by Sir Robert Peel How true this is becoming Mr Coogan I salute you 😎 🇬🇧
I really can't see the police investigating police who they know are collaborating with the press/MSM.
. . . and on that bombshell . . .
In Australia, the loser pays fees for both parties.
That's how the UK should be!
@voulafisentzidis8830 It has its own flaws.
It sometimes becomes a lawyer battle where most money wins, but it is still preferable.
@@yt.personal.identification I'm a kiwi who lived in Melbourne for 18 months in the late 70s. No country is perfect but we're a lot closer to it than the US or the UK.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I am very happy to be here
He us right AND we need major media reform because the papers lie consistently!!
Freedom of the press to misbehave egregiously is not freedom of the press
The civil justice system isn't about justice. It's about getting money from the other side which is more than your legal costs.
Leveson part ii please
Piers Morgan will be keeping the head down now😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot fathom how a reporter gets a leading story and it is never asked by an editor how that story was discovered.
It’s amazing to me that Piers can prance around on his own shows and others , having done all of these despicable things in the past as an editor.
How was he never cancelled ?
Would luv to see it, but PM would never see the inside of a prison, sadly. These individuals never get what they are due. The lies by PM & others just make you sick - deniability is just pathetic.
Piers is a protected establishment mouthpiece
No one believed Rupe's testimony
Coogan supported Corbyn unlike Emily who smeared him. Was this covered?
Annoyingly this seems to start in the middle
So much for the law should be seen to be done.😂
He admitted to Jeremy Paxman over dinner that he had done it .....I think Paxman mentioned it in the court case.
Ipso should make all the papers pay into a central fund to cover all the legal costs when blatant lying has been proven. They'd soon stop lying knowing that a full honest reckoning would be forthcoming. Something similar is needed for politicians. Getiing away with lying isnt an option for you and me. Thats the true two tier sytem that were living under.
IPSO is useless. It’s got no teeth. It is in the mogul’s pockets.
Brooks was crooked also, like Morgan, go Harry sue her also. Cameron was buddy with Brooks, he may Know?
Finally.
Morgan is a wrong un
y’all go after people and jail them for actions on social media yet let this slime get away w this. Bonkers reasoning
Why did you not speak to BRIAN HARVEY. Hmmm
