Giles is really getting dragged in the comments of the Top Jaw IG feed - lots saying heâs a tosser, and also then some about him mocking Dawn Fosterâs death and using an alt acc to send himself anti-Semitic abuse. Because the internet never forgets. #lol
Rob Rinder seems to be enjoying himself with the hotels.
I think more and more that this fella is a sociopath. Plenty of people were smacked by their parents growing up (which is wrong), but they mostly don't use that experience to excuse their horrible sociopathic behaviour as adults. He's trying to jump on the child abuse bandwagon while claiming not to.
Sociopath is too soft a word. He's scum.

Pointing the finger in every direction to excuse his anger problems. He should look in the mirror.
I don't doubt that he was abused as a child - his tit behaviour is testament to that. But, as an adult himself, how he behaves is his responsibility. He is no doubt damaging his own children, and here the buck also stops with him (and his wife).
He desperately needs therapy, but I don't know if his ego would allow him to access it. He might be a lost cause, dying a lonely and bitter alcoholic, estranged from his family. I wonder if Esther will ever leave him.

I agree with Giles that smacking children is wrong, and that it doesnât make sense that as a society we expect citizens not to be violent, but sanction parents being violent to their children. However, it seems deeply hypocritical that Giles is the one making this point - a man who used social media to mock and celebrate the death of a 33 year old woman he perceived to have slighted him, and also recently accepted a police caution for verbally abusing his neighbour over a parking dispute while she was trying to put her disabled child to bed. Both of those incidents, neither of which he has apologised for, are as morally unacceptable as smacking children and him being smacked as a child is no excuse for behaving like that. Even if he doesnât wack his children, Giles is still a rank hypocrite with an anger problem that makes him increasingly unemployable. So he isnât in a position to criticize anyone else.
There are very many of us who grew up in the days when the occasional smack was an acceptable part of child rearing, and we didn't grow up into vile, bitter, violent poison dwarves like Giles.
Itâs a textbook DARVO tactic of narcissists to deny, attack, reverse, victim and offender. Even though in the article about smacking being wrong, Giles denies that heâs a victim of abuse, he is clearly positioning himself as one and thus attempting to tacitly excuse his own abuse of other people.
Well spotted. Reminds me of Bono's favoured footwear, black platform shoes (and not just when he's in character or on stage):Nike Air Max are a classic short person trick to add a couple of inches to your height. The air bubble supposedly adds an extra 1.5 inches, which would mean that Giles was nearly 5 foot 9 in them. His little legs in his jeans are hilarious though!
5 reasons why Giles is a bigger twit than Bono ( a man whose name, spelt backwards, is literally O Nob ):
(1) Bono has never, that we are aware of, grotesquely slurred and slandered an elderly journalist who mildly challenged him on social media
(2) Bono has never, that we are aware of, insulted the memory of a talented young journalist who died young of cancer
(3) Bono has never, that we are aware of, found himself the subject of a police investigation due to a silly row with a neighbour over parking
(4) For all that people criticise Bono for all kinds of reasons, he didn't benefit from nepotism (his dad was a post office clerk)
(5) Bono while he has written some great tracks, is also responsible for atrocities such as:
"The air is heavy/heavy as a truck" and "Miami. My mammy". But even those outrages against taste are better than Giles's best ever article.
So, well done lil Giles, against strong competition, you win the twatty short guy Olympics by a country mile.
Smacking children is very wrong and should be illegal, and getting hit as a child left me with severe issues. Psychological abuse is bad too though. Writing articles about how you wish you hadnât had a son and are obsessed with your son not getting fat is abusive. Growing up with an angry parent who is so unable to control his rage he gets a police caution, and so off the rails he sends himself antisemitic comments, is not healthy and his kids are not going to come out unscathed even if he never raises his hand to them
Do you think that Tiny twit can rein in his temper with the children or Esther?
My father hit me only once but dealing with his foul explosive temper and vicious words over 40+ years left me with serious psychological issues. I'm willing to bet that Giles is even worse behind closed doors - most abusers are.
My dad was a dark, angry, Victorian style dad. I was a good kid and did well at school etc., and still he criticised every single thing I did. I got a first at a very good University and his exact words to me were âyou need to fail, you wonât learn anything until you failâ. There was no love and no pride. But I grew up wanting a kind, gentle, funny dad, like some of my friendsâ dads. Like the Siddiqui dad on Gogglebox. I hate my father, he has also put my lovely gentle mum though absolute hell, and I wonât mourn him when he eventually dies - and by the way, that day canât come soon enough.
Giles: this is you.

Iâm dying at Bonoâs black platforms
Gilesâ latest Times column is about how grieving parents whose children have died preventable deaths should accept it in a âdignifiedâ manner rather than engaging in âhystericalâ activism. Itâs going down like the proverbial lead balloon on Mumsnet on a thread posted by an allergy parent called: âAIBU to be furious at the scorn Giles Coren shows towards grieving parents?â (Canât post link).
His column has also upset bereaved activist parents who are campaigning for legal reform on Twitter too:
Giles just canât help himself, can he? What an absolute knobber.

My experience with my dad was the same. He died when I was 16, I didn't cry, and I didn't enter the church at the funeral, as I didn't want to sit through all the praise for him. Dark, angry and Victorian is a good description!
I can't imagine that Giles is secretly a lovely parent behind closed doors.
I donât think Giles Coren should use social media to comment on anyoneâs death. This glib and flippant post is how he chose is how he chose to respond to the tragic death of a 20 year old cricketer. People in the comments are asking if he is drunk!

âI bet the ump is glad he gave that lbw now. Lovely action. We canât do with losing lovely left arm round boysâ

That's a bizarre and tbh shocking reaction. He's definitely missing something in the empathy/ human department. Whether that was taken away from him at boarding school I don't know but it must be awful having him as a father/ husband/ neighbour/ any part of your life.
