Would Chimamanda choose Piers Morgan as her supporter? Very unlikely.

Beware those who call themselves your friends. If it’s Piers Morgan who professes to be your friend, then be doubly careful. This week, the Nigerian best-selling author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - known for her TED Talk on feminisim, which Beyonce sampled in ***Flawless -entitled It Is Obscene, and posted it on her website about the way young people behave on social media ‘who are choking on sanctimony and lacking in compassion’.

The essay is in response to this criticism, attacking what she feels are kneejerk reactions to complex issues. Chimamanda writes: ‘We have a generation of young people on social media so terrified of having the wrong opinions that they have robbed themselves of the opportunity to think and to learn and to grow' and 'I have spoken to young people who tell me they are terrified to tweet anything, that they read and re-read their tweets because they fear they will be attacked by their own.

Not for the first time Piers Morgan has a very specific agenda. Upholding free speech for him is in the name of attacking the so-called woke brigade, which is really just anyone calling for equality. The irony and hypocrisy of Piers Morgan’s support of her words is that he frequently incites the very violence online that she critiques.
