    What the fookity fook?

    It annoys me how much lying and threatening they do, as if they are the big I AM. They make me so angry. Surely them threatening to go to your job because you're gay and leak that and other personal info is illegal?

    Well done to the guy that did the vid, I would've lost it and called them all the names under the sun.

    He should be more concerned with the criminal amounts of money these stage psychics charge rather than her abilities ...

    I read his article in the Guardian and she has previous form for this sort of intimidatory behaviour, usually concerned with legal threats.

    I think not a one of them is too bright, engaging in such a nonsense squabble.

    Particularly enjoyed:

    "...that Muslimer."

    "You're a fairly gay little man."

    But it doesn't get much better than a man over 60 saying, "I've a right mind to pick you and put you in the bin."

    Brilliant.

    Nice. Who even uses 'gay' an an insult anymore?

    Although he says it as recorded in 2014, but the timestamp on the video says 2012....

    But what does she do? What is the point of the show if its not true.

    Its different to someone like Derren Brown or his ilk, whose premise is that he is going to psychologically or otherwise determine information from you. Or in fact the comedy psychics who parody psychics and do it very well. That is entertainment with a clear premise and purpose.

    She isnt.

    Well at least Acorah the Aura Explorer and his Sidekick Sam have a sense of humour!

    To think that people - probably right now - are filling a venue to fall for her crap. I think they ought to be shown this video before they go in, if they are daft enough to continue, they deserve to be conned.

    Unfortunately there are 'true believer's on just about any old bullshit you can think of - and no matter what evidence they are shown they will simply do what the Creationists do.

    Anyone saw her Facebook page? She posted this -

    "Sally Morgan Enterprises would like to apologise for any offence caused by the material. Since April 2014, Mark Tilbrook has targeted Sally Morgan’s live performances; handing out leaflets to audience members. On several occasions theatre staff have had to call the police in order to get him removed.

    Given the abuse Sally has endured over the past three years, which have included severe death threats and incidences of stalking; Sally was left fearing for her own safety once again.

    Due to the continual presence of Mark Tilbrook and John Morgan’s ever-growing concern for Sally, he reacted angrily and out of character.

    Sally was not aware of the comments made in this video. She is very upset by the events, does not condone any of the behaviour and can only assume that this was the cause of persistent hounding that lead to this altercation.

    Although the Psychic Awareness month hosted by Good Thinking Society has come to light in recent weeks, the original leaflet given out by Mark Tilbrook contained different information which both Sally and SME felt made targeted references to her and not psychics in general, hence why legal advice has been taken."

    What a load of bollocks. When did she get death threats? People were criticising her but her page quickly deleted any negative comments about her. Hundreds of people are telling her not to say sorry and that her husband done what any man should have done to protect his wife.

    Wow. I have no words. :(

    These sorts annoy the hell out of me.

    I was flicking through the channels a while back and a programme about them was coming to an end. She had just finished a stage show where she exploited those in grief and her husband who I think is or was her manager was hurrying her out of the venue to their waiting chauffeur driven Merc. He turned to the camera and said something along the lines of "thats another one finished, only a few more and we are off on holiday"

    That just about summed it all up. Disgusting way to make money.

    The Morgan trio are truly disgusting people.

    I don't believe for one moment that John Morgan was acting out of character. He ranted using homophobic and racist terms, and it seems very much to me that it's a part of his normal vocabulary.

    Like most other people trapped red handed, she's only (half-heartedly) apologising because they got caught out.

    I hope this does the entire team immense damage.

    Doesn't surprise me. Their idiotic defensiveness just shows how the whole family are making a fortune off the back of Sally's fraudulent and non-existent "psychic" abilities.

    Personally I think people should be banned from making money by claiming to be a psychic or medium. They get around current legislation by saying it's done for "entertainment" purposes because of course there's no proof that they can do anything which they claim to be able to. And you could argue that they wouldn't be making any money if people didn't pay to attend their shows, which people do of their own free will. However, I think it is at best dishonest if people attend these shows with the expectation that their departed loved ones may be somehow able to communicate with them and "psychics" like Sally Morgan make up a load of cold-reading cobblers instead.

    Couldn't agree more. It's awful - people who go to this type of thing are usually vulnerable people who are grieving and desperate to get a message from their deceased loved ones.

    It's such a shame.

    I scoured through a number of comments on that status (about 300) and I didn't see ANY detractors on Sally.. zip, nil, nothing. Some selective editing me thinks

    Funny that bit, because he seemed pretty well used to dropping comments about the guys sexuality, like being gay was some sort of stigma. And thinking he was riotously funny for doing it, only tells me it's totally in character for him to be that way. Grrr.

    The "theatre staff had to call police on several occasions" translates in my head as "Sally refused to go on stage until they did this". :p:D

    It's full of sycophantic nonsense such as "so sorry you have to go through this Sally!!!"

    Go through what? Have a harmless guy handing out leaflets challenging her bullshit, or having her racist, homophobic idiot of a husband exposed for being, well, racist, homophobic and an idiot?
