… to ask why Giles Coren hasn’t been cancelled yet?

The vile Dawn Foster tweets ffs. But he seems Teflon coated. He will never be cancelled. Three fucking columns a week … a pissing radio show, albeit on Times Radio, which surely no one listens to. I would love to be proved wrong. Absolutely love to be.

@AlfonsoTheMango

I am beginning to wonder if *@Bryonyshcmyony* is one of Coren's aliases.
Yes, that happens a lot on Mumsnet when someone doesn't necessarily agree with the main thread posters. I've been a Tory shill, a paid poster and now Giles Coren. I'd rather like his house in London it must be said.

Shame to read this about him...I am surprised. I always enjoyed reading his restaurant reviews, and loved him in back in time for tea.. another one to add to the shit list then.....Shame...

@Bryonyshcmyony

India Knight is not a paedophile *@snakeytakey*
No but I'm sure her income supports her paedophile partner.

@Bryonyshcmyony

Your punctuation’s most precise.

Dead giveaway, G.

WalkingOnTheCracks · 22/07/2021 11:33

I mean, a good sub would put a comma in before ‘it must be said’.

I mention this because, if you go apeshit, that’s a clincher.

awaynboilyurheid · 22/07/2021 11:40

In the hotel series he was in he seemed to think he could belittle the staff and poor Monica always ended up with the much harder jobs. She came across so lovely but he came across entitled and arrogant.

@Bryonyshcmyony How is wanting a paedophile apologist cancelled 'shameful'?

Are you being deliberately obtuse yes of course you are? I am saying she is not a paedophile, which is what the PP suggested.

I know you think you are being funny, but actually you are being rather nasty.

She left out the word apologist. Now, for the love of God, give it a rest.

Oh I am sorry that you've had to tie yourself in knots over this.

I don't think of her as a paedophile apologist, and I don't think she should be cancelled, and clearly nor do The Times so..

Do feel free to spend your day finding links to prove me "wrong".

Can you explain why?

Bryonyshcmyony · 22/07/2021 12:35

In fact some of this thread is rather defamatory.

Blossomtoes · 22/07/2021 12:38

What do you call a woman who gave evidence in his defence of his paedophilia charge and continues to live with him in her house after his conviction? What would someone have to do for you to think of them as a paedophile apologist?

GreyhoundG1rl · 22/07/2021 12:42

I think it's quite worrying that anyone would try to defend India Knight's response to her husband's grotesque behaviour.

God job noone on here has done that then?

Although I can forgive you for not following the thread properly what with all the deletions and all.

So what 🤣
GreyhoundG1rl · 22/07/2021 12:49

So nothing. But you clearly can't answer the question, which tells it's own tale...

Sorry it's the Daily Fail.

Rest in Peace Dawn.

ButYouGottaHaveASkillJeff · 22/07/2021 13:01

@Bryonyshcmyony Why don't you think of her as a paedophile apologist?

Bryonyshcmyony · 22/07/2021 13:04

I think of her as a columnist and beauty writer. I'll be sure to read all your useful links and comments though
