Piers Morgan has come under fire from the American Gun Lobbyists. His shoot from the hip style has earned him critics from people who think arming school teachers is a sane and rational policy. In fact...
American Gun Lobbyists Want Piers Morgan deported...
@Diversion50: ...as he's the only known pier in the western world they'd like to see demolished by a Kalashnikov.
@matt_seccull: ......'We don't want him back!' Says Cameron. 'On behalf of the British people I beg you to shoot him.'
@BadScentsHumour: ...He's stuck between a rock and a hard place as yanks shoot him down & Brits hope it's literal.
Ladbrookes start a book and urge the U.S to...
@ShakesCuthbert: ...fire him in this direction and take bets on where the splash will be.
@Charisma_Effect: ... Britain replies, 'we'd rather you shoot him than send him back'.

@FemmeDomestique: ... Theresa May contacts her American counterpart to remind them not to get the dates wrong.

William: You are now an Official of the English, erm... Scottish, er, British Empire... (To an aide) He did win didn't he?! Good. (To Andy) If we weren't famous can you imagine what our other halves would look like?

And now the Caption Contest. Morrissey's autobiography has been released and is no doubt selling like Russian ammunition in a Syrian Arms Trade convention. Here he is looking unusually jolly.

More News Punch soon.
