I do feel this Daddy’s-fame-rinser deserves his own thread. Recently he’s:

- tweeted how happy he was that a fellow journalist has died at a fairly young age & that she should go ‘off to hell’
- then deleted and reposted the tweet removing the reference to hell and replacing it with laughter
- he lied about why he’s gleeful she’s dead (he said she mocked his family, she did not, in fact, she only ever tweeted about him twice)
- posted an article in the times where he talks INCREDIBLY inappropriately about his three year old daughter and his holiday with her being the ‘sexiest’ he’s ever had (vomit)
- admitted to setting up a random Twitter account to tweet horrific anti Semitic abuse at his official account

If this was anyone else there would be uproar. But no,this third rate writer has a thrice weekly column in the Times!

Can anyone else not stand this odious little man?!
 
I’m so glad you started this thread @AlwightDallin, from the little I know of him I’ve always thought he seemed like a prick, but his tweets about Dawn Foster were genuinely shocking, he’s a vile, sick man. Dawn Foster was by all accounts a really good person and a fantastic journalist, but because he had some petty grudge against her he decided to tweet this just days after she passed away. (I’ve put the tweets behind a spoiler because they really are just horrible and twisted).

the original version he deleted

He has serious problems - seem to remember he goes off at the deep end whenever anyone mentions his father/nepotism/how his father was actually talented. He had some falling out with one of his father's friends about it I think? The venom which comes out of him is appalling and disgraceful, he should have been sacked several times over by now. Dawn Foster was uniquely and independently talented and devoted to exposing the hideous inequalities in our society. Nobody deserves to be talked about like that, least of all her. I feel for his kids. Why is his wife still with him?

To sink to laughing at the death of a 33 year old because she once said you got your job because of your family connections is a new level of bitterness.

Giles obviously has some serious issues he needs to see a therapist for rather than taking to twitter.

What an odious lowlife he is. And the arrogance to feel like he can just splatter all of this invective publically with no serious consequences for him. The stinking privilege.
 
Really weird Tweets. If they were all recent, I’d say I was worried about his mental state and wondering if he was having some sort of breakdown. But he’s been doing this for years.

He was in my localish paper (at the time) years ago because he got into a Twitter spat with some literal children who used a derogatory term. Instead of just reporting them to the head or blocking them, he said he was going to rape their father.
