A Daily Telegraph foreign correspondent sparked amusement after his foul tweets appeared on the newspaper’s website.
Rob Crilly, who describes himself as “Pakistan correspondent of The Telegraph”, went ballistic after his copy was apparently changed by an editor.
He tweeted Daily Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher saying: “Neville Dean has twisted my copy beyond all recognition. I want you to sack him.”
The comments were picked up by the Telegraph’s automatic Twitter feed and half an hour later he tweeted again.
“I’ve just told the editor about his foreign news editor and how her screwed me on a story. Think I’ll be sacked.”
But that was mild compared to what was to follow. “Hate being a freelancer when you’ve just gotta suck it up.”
And then he unleashed: “Neville dean is a c***”.
By this morning all the comments had been removed, but they were caught by some who again posted on Twitter.
