Young ‘final warning’ on vulgar quips

-

THERESA May has put writer Toby Young on a “final warning” over his sick joke of being aroused by starving African children.

The Prime Minister backed Young’s appointmen­t to the board of the new Office for Students.

But she admitted she was “not at all impressed” by his lewd Twitter posts.

In one he replied offensivel­y to a woman who told of getting through boxes of Kleenex as she cried over footage of deprived kids.

Mrs May told the BBC’s Andrew Marr the dad-offour had been “exceedingl­y good” for free schools.

But she added: “If he was to continue to talk in that way he would no longer be in public office.”
