To ask if you like Jeremy Vine?

Do you have any evidence of that ? I would have said a conservative. Traditional .

Indeed! They may as well just get Mike Parry and Owen Jones on together and stand back with a Harry Hill-style "Fiiiiiiight!!!!"

On the C5 show, I always wonder how many callers they actually get, as it's the same people calling in, day in day out. Do those people have a special hotline, or does nobody else much ever call in?!

Even on the silly topics, they still take the time to call in with their opinions. Fair enough, you want to have your say on how we should clamp down on knife crime; but if it's something ridiculous like "Would YOU share a toothbrush?!" - just why bother?!

See I hate it when tina stands in for him, for me, it's like she doesn't really know what to say..she doesn't spark a debate and is boring.
I like JVs show and he seems alright(came across ok on strictly too)

Yes, he made his wife and then 10-year-old daughter significant shareholders in the limited company he put his media earnings through in order to keep his tax bill down. At the time he did it there was a big tax advantage to company directors/shareholders taking payouts via company dividends rather than through PAYE (although Chancellors from George Osborne onwards have now pretty much removed this). It was perfectly legal and likely on the advice of an accountant but I'd never take lectures on pay and taxation, particularly public sector, from the man.

He’s better than Storm Huntley, but he’s turned that ch5 prog into a dreadful right wing shitshow since he took over

Odious man. I have to change station when 8 hear his voice. He is deliberately provocative for no reason other than causing friction. It doesn’t improve a debate but seriously degrades it. Utter wanker in my opinion.

Not keen on him, but some of the panelist’s and people phoning in are pretty entertaining…🙄

He's known as "Mr Goady" in my house.

I really like him. Seems a decent bloke to me

An odious person who seems to think he has the pulse of the nation whereas I don't know anyone who likes him.
Once heard him describe himself as a journalist whereas he does little more than present a radio version of the JK show. Find a topic, two people with opposing views, a few phone-ins plus throw in a few (deliberately) misinformed opinions for good measure.
Not keen on several of the R2 presenters nowadays but none have me reaching for the "off" button as quickly as him.

I don’t like him. DH and I are both cyclists and motorists and he makes cyclists look like wankers. I recall he got a woman motorist jailed after she kicked off and he filmed it following a near miss. Knowing what I do of him, I suspect he purposely wound her up.

Can’t stand the man.
He’s awful.

I have never seen the channel 5 stuff but I like his radio 2 slot 🙊

No he's a leftie of the highest order.

Alex Bellend is one of the few people who is a bigger knob than JV!

What's the recipe today Jim?

A few weeks ago, he was on the radio doing a discussion about birthmarks. He had two guests on with port wine stains. One was a young person and the other sounded like an older man who was talking about the awful treatment he’d had because if it and how he’d had a nervous breakdown. The younger guest was talking about embracing it etc and Jeremy had the cheek to sum up that perhaps the younger generation were more resilient and better at coping etc. The reality is because it was radio how the hell are we supposed to know how aggressive those port wine stains were? Some are easier to ‘embrace’ than others. You can have really light ones or really disfiguring ones that go lumpy and thick. I really felt for the guy. I thought Jeremy was dismissive and flippant

He's a nasty fucker, can't stand him. He's horrible about people who claim benefits and repeats untruths about them, amongst many other things.

I'm not sure how he can keep a straight face when discussing tax evasion and tax avoidance when he set up a company in his daughters name to limit his liability.

In a way I agree but the sanctimony, oh the sanctimony. Also cyclist (and I've cycled about 40 miles today) are not saints...especially pensioners on bloody electric bikes...I was forced off the path by a woman wizzing along trying to keep up with her husband...came from behind with no warning...she definitely didn't like what I called her!

Proven when the credit crunch hit. The BBC got Martin Lewis straight on his show, and given the news bulletins that day 're the fact the bank of England had tightened mortgage lending so that many people would struggle to get a mortgage or remortgage, it was shocking that Vine kept trying to talk about buy to let mortgages. Martin told him repeatedly they were no longer available and was trying to get important info out to people, only to be interrupted for a further 2 times by the idiot trying to talk about buy to let!

Also who the hell stops behind a lorry which has stopped because the driver realized they had gone down the wrong turn. The sanctimony when he said he wouldn't report the driver. Report for what, you stopped your bike in a blind spot in the middle of the road (clearly deliberately)

Posh twat

I appreciate him trying to highlight dangerous driving practices on behalf of cyclists

Yes this. I can’t listen to him as he’ll misunderstand or miss out something so obvious.
