Sounds a bit strong. So what exactly did he say that landed him in such trouble?
I mean, I called him a bald Scottish c*** and fantasised about a quite gory way he might want to die. But HE STARTED IT. I am basically the Ben Stokes of Twitter. Except shit at cricket. And no tats.

Ah, right.
Surely 'bald cunt' would suffice Coren?

Do you think it was the Scottish that brought me down. In an insult, as many adjectives as possibly are best.

So it's OK for realDonaldTrump to almost start a nuclear war via Twitter, but it isn't OK to stand up for yourself??

Apparently so

Coren does have an admirably pithy way of dealing with the occasional critic who gets in touch.
Your father had a brilliant sense of humour.
For some reason the production team on #AmazingHotels make you act like a 5 year old.
At least, I presume they do.— Andrew Drewzz #FBPE (@Adrewzz) February 27, 2018
You didn’t know my father. You don’t know me. You don’t know anything. Fuck off. Shut up. Then die.

There’s always an upside, though.
