Dan Walker had the perfect response to Piers Morgan’s trolling of Meghan Markle and it burned, it really burned

You’ll probably be aware that Piers Morgan isn’t the biggest fan of Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry. In fact, it sometimes appears that he takes every opportunity to criticise the – Google, Google – Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

And he was at it again today on his medium of choice, Twitter.

Imagine being two staggeringly privileged royal multi-millionaires going to Africa to make a documentary that supposedly 'shines a light' on poverty, violence against women/girls & racial inequality – then in fact making it all about their own terrible struggle? I mean, FFS. pic.twitter.com/YCm9qAgzAd

It looks like it was one barb too many for Morgan’s Breakfast telly rival, Dan Walker, who couldn’t help but respond with a tweet that surely spoke on behalf of a large part (the whole?) of the nation.

Imagine being given a TV show & a newspaper column & using them both to pick on a woman who didn’t want to go out for a second drink with you 🤔 https://t.co/fPZ3Z5Rhth

If the success of a burn can be measured in the vitriol of the response it provokes, this was close to 10/10.

Imagine being the dullest, most excruciatingly virtue-signalling, tediously opinion-devoid, toe-curlingly snivelling sycophant on TV?
ps For the record, I never asked Meghan for a drink, she asked me. https://t.co/v0b1Be7rFR

And it didn’t end there.

Imagine losing the plot (and the argument) to the “dullest, most excruciatingly virtue-signalling, tediously opinion-devoid, toe-curlingly snivelling sycophant on TV”👍🏻😂#TearsForPiers https://t.co/AKiXcShwnw

Mate, the only thing I lose when jousting with you is the will to live. https://t.co/5uefXefyBt

I’m disappointed with you. We are 4 tweets in and you haven’t compared twitter followers yet 😂
Enjoy the rest of your Monday 👋🏻 https://t.co/0NLwrp3tuk

Now you mention it, I currently have 6.2 million more followers than you, which makes me 11 times as popular.
Not sure how you can enjoy your Monday after that, but good luck! https://t.co/rBZlOdZyW2

You around for a drink later? 😬 https://t.co/wEec9jxgGz

Sure. If you can afford to fly to Beverly Hills. https://t.co/cOwAGm0Odb

Perhaps Doc Scott got it right.

You’re both awful.
