I have to say I'm biased and I've always loathed Coren, but holy fucking shit...

Morris
Just checked his Twitter feed. It's real - in Times. But he's claiming that someone has taken some of the paragraphs and mashed them together out of context. I don't know if that's what we are seeing, above? I can't imagine what context could make those words okay.

Exactly what Eresh said.

"Even if it was just touching".

JUST TOUCHING?

"Hey Giles, we need some edgy, twitter worthy clickbait. Think rape apologism and general misogyny with a touch of wry self deprecating humour and raffish charm. You know plenty of people think women lie about rape. What do you think, are you up for it?"

What a cunt. I hope it hurts his career. Right, so THAT's what you take from the revelations of Weinstein's decades-long sex assault rampage? Cunt.

AnyFucker · 20/10/2017 23:18

Meh

Just another "not all men are like that" nice guy whimpering tosser. Fucking whinging about how men can't even compliment a woman any more

Fuck. Off.

Is this a joke? Where has this been published?

Ereshkigal · 20/10/2017 23:16

The world might fall on his head from that same tweet. How meta.

I wonder if that's what he thought about Jimmy Savile too?

Ugh, typo in title! "Have THE power to ruin a sex pest's career".

Incidentally am obviously not suggesting that Weinstein is a mere sex pest.
