What Julie burchill's son had to say about her. Just brought it here as the other thread suddenly became "gossip" and "speculation" once links about her started flowing.

Burchills entire career is built on monstrous behaviour, it's what she's for. Sometimes, however, we are asked to choose the least worst. Which, very marginally, and in this case, appears to be her. Very slim margin though.

Well, Burchill has been sacked by The Telegraph now.

Her poor son. The woman is disgraceful. Hopefully she will just go away.

Poor sons, sadly.

She abandoned one to his dad and left them. Remarried, lost custody of another who was also raised by his dad and that one later committed suicide at 29 I believe. All online to read , so no speculation here.

She doesn't think she owes her children any apology too.

Not sure why I'd bother to casually choose one evil over another here just because she said something you agree with. I've only just heard about them and read up on who they are on the back of this thread and the other deleted one. How about neither?

Why does this need to be a popularity contest? It's like Arlene Foster vs Christian Jessen all over again.

Ooooh, we don't like X so we're going to support Y. Never mind what Y does or says, we like them better.

Thank you! ☝

Some of you are taking a throwaway thread about a Twitter burn way too seriously

I think you were unlucky in your timing @Pagwatch - no way you could have know it was about to explode live on your thread.
