ok.co.uk:

This Morning viewers have taken to Twitter to voice their opinions on Matthew Wright's outburst in which he labelled the Queen's Platinum Jubilee as a "disgrace".

The former host of The Wright Stuff, 56, has sparked outrage among many royal fans as he broadcast his controversial opinions during Thursday's episode of the ITV breakfast show.

Included in the Jubilee celebrations is Saturday's Party At The Palace, an open-air concert outside Buckingham Palace. But Matthew has said at a time when the country is "haemorrhaging money" the events should be "scaled down". "What a load of utter nonsense," he argued, before adding: "We were talking earlier and it's wonderful and the spectacle I get, but at a time when we are haemorrhaging money as a country." He continued: "If you were some kind of celebrity, who's spending loads...

millions on parties when you're sort of bankrupt, people would be outraged and this is a disgrace but that's what we're doing as a nation." Host Dermot O'Leary questioned: "What do you think we should be doing?" Matthew responded: "I think it could all be scaled down just a bit." Fellow guest Gyles Brandreth argued that although he understood where Matthew was coming from this was "brand Britain" and it was a "global event".
