Channel 4’s twitter account tweets insults for charity
By Staff on Friday, October 26, 2018
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.
