Channel 4’s twitter account tweets insults for charity
Followers of Channel 4’s twitter account may be somewhat surprised today as its tweets included telling Piers Morgan to ‘go f**** himself’.
Not to fear though – this isn’t the work of a rebellious social media manager but is in fact a new incentive to raise money for the charity Stand Up to Cancer.
Channel 4, who are hosting Stand Up To Cancer tonight, released a donation menu on their twitter page earlier today. In exchange for donations to the charity, the account will perform a range of tasks for you with insulting Piers Morgan so far being the most visible online.
Dear @PiersMorgan. Unfortunately our lawyers wouldn’t allow us to say you’re the single biggest wanker in the history of human civilisation. But you’re in the top 1. #SU2CRewards

Dear @PiersMorgan. The only thing that Brexit Leavers and Remainers agree on is that you’re a massive bellend. #SU2CRewards,

At the highest end of the scale – parting with £1000 will buy you a personal training session with Jason Fox.
