Dawn Foster has died

Makes me both sad and angry that the Guardian dumped her nakedly because she went after a lizard politician who happens to have a bunch of mates in the liberal chattering class. You think of all the opinion columnists they’ve supported for years and years who have absolutely nothing to say. Who supported the Iraq War, and are still there breezily giving you their thoughts about foreign policy.

Yup, it’s similar with Juliet Jacques. I can’t remember whether her contract was terminated or if it just became untenable for her at the guardian, but they much preferred to keep on dabbling in transphobia and commissioning the same old familiar faces rather than have an incisive and intelligent trans writer writing for them.

And how hard they’re gonna work to make sure no one with her background never gets anywhere near her level again

Seems an injustice that Giles gets to still be around but Dawn doesn’t. But at least this reveals what a deeply unhappy person he must be. So there’s that.

i can’t get my head around the thought process. like, he must be so sure that not only is he in the right but that people are going to agree with him? obviously there’ll be no repercussions, there never is, but it has to go beyond simply knowing he can get away with saying whatever he wants.

As noted in the other thread, Coren is just vile/complacent enough to say publicly what a lot of his peers have been saying privately.

Even Darren Grimes managed to post quite a nice tribute so it’s astounding that Coren is even less self aware than expected

He’s one of those troll cunts like Piers Morgan and Clarkson who have made it part of his ‘brand’. He’s by far the worst of them though.
