Sorry I have no idea who credit the thread title with

Well impossible to entirely summarise the entire last thread.
Giles Coren mocked the death of a young journalist, Dawn Foster. This was rightly greeted with horror by many people. He clung on to his BBC Amazing Hotels programme, but recently announced he was sadly having to step aside as he had another project coming up
Apparently he is working on a musical.

So he’s writing a musical?

But he doesn’t like music.

This should be good then. He thinks it’s easy to write a musical and the public will lap up any old crap he puts out. Even though he doesn’t listen to music himself. The arrogant prick.

Why has he suddenly decided to write a musical? It makes no sense.

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

Perhaps he's got to because he's on Taskmaster. I cannot think of another plausible reason.

But...why would he be invited on to Taskmaster?

Thanks for the new thread @Jellybean

I’m glad to have somewhere to witch about this terrible little man.

Thanks for the new thread @Jellybean

I knew all of us on this Tattle thread were united in the agreement that GC is a weapons-grade wanker, but until he was sacked sorry, decided to quit, the Amazing Hotels gig I didn’t realise it was a truth that was universally acknowledged. Giles Coren was trending on Twitter for the last two days and he was really getting dragged.

Also this media newsletter rehashes the sofa shagger article Giles wrote for Esquire to hilarious effect:

Rise and (partial) fall of a sofa shagger

The BBC deserves no credit for parting company with Giles Coren. It was too little, too late.

It is truly astonishing how he still has a job at The Times. He must know where a few bodies are buried.

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

I read the article he wrote about holidaying with his daughter, while gagging. Who describes spending time with their toddler as 'romantic'? Describes slathering sunscreen on their 'entire body' with such glee? Talks with such joy about pushing the beds together so they can snuggle?

I'm all for dads having loving relationships with their kids - but he makes it sound sordid and gross.

And I'm not even going to mention the low level racism in the piece.

What a horrid, odious little man.

Or they don't want him to treat them like he treated that guy in those tweets posted just earlier in this thread!

The Times employs many terrible pundits. To be fair they are not the only ones.

While India Knights dad is running the show, Giles is presumably safe - Andrew Knight was mates with Giles’ dad. But Andrew is in his 80s now so who knows after that

Making a direct threat like that could've landed him in trouble with the police. Kind of wishing it had tbh...

At the very, very least the accusations against Nick Cohen are finally being taken seriously at The Guardian and his column is suspended pending investigations.

I always think Giles is so vile that his days must be numbered, but perhaps he is like Trump and could murder someone in the middle of Times Square and still keep his columns at The Times.

Remind anyone of a diminutive man who is dear to all of our hearts?

A very funny Twitter post about Giles Coren:



“looking like baked SPAM” #lol

 

[StatusWoe]

Haha no one likes him, do they?

In fairness, I also look and feel like baked spam today, so maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

Way WAY too early, please can we remember ‘baked spam’ for the last page of the thread

In fairness, I also look and feel like baked spam today, so maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

I thought it would be helpful to put a photo of baked SPAM:

I think Giles Coren (on Twitter at least) has become a sort of short hand for a nepotism baby who is also a turbo bleep and a compulsive wanker.
