Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins are both drowning. There's only time to rescue one of them.

Do you make a sandwich or finish the chapter of the book you are reading?

I'd have a Big Mac with extra fries and start on War and Peace. And try to finish it.

I would read aloud to them from the Book of the Dead, Egyptian version.   It might interest them.

I'd try to rescue any fish in the stretch of water they were drowning in...because of the clear risk of imminent pollution.

I’d tweet something about a final solution being needed to end the problem of right wing journalists in boats.

Not sure that helps. Piers isn't really right wing, reactionary sometimes, but he's not in political terms in the UK, right wing. And Katie Hopkins well she's just not a journalist.

We said it all before; most, including me (tho' I might not have posted then, could've just read the thread), would rescue a person before an animal but if poss go back for animal. One said it might be because they were conditioned to put people first. Shaker argued that animals are equal.

(Choice between Piers and Katy: whoever offered the biggest fee  ;) )
