Radio 1 DJ and noted jurist Greg James has given his verdict

Oh, Honest Alistair Campbell is on the case! We can be certain that his assessment is 180° to reality.

Alastair Campbell with his finger on the pulse as ever.

Thanks for this. From a number one fan to someone who barely listens anymore. I'd have never believed it.

Yes i got the come dine with me reference, it's an overused joke.

I'm not a fan of Greg but I think the "enjoy the money" comment was an in joke, come dine with me.
Sadly I think he's hanging on to beat Moyles 8yrs on breakfast. should have been Jordan by now.

Also the irony of him telling Jordan to "enjoy the money", whilst being paid half a million by the BBC to interview celebs and play silly games. And he's turning 40 in December so wonder how much longer he has at R1.

It's weird he says "we all have to try to understand the world as it changes" - it's quite bizarre if you think of the meaning behind that. It's not that we need to understand what's always been there and be more accepting. It's not some rationale for why we should accept men as women. It's just some outside force has decided this is the way it is, so we blindly accept it, because it's the thing to believe now.

I prefer Classic FM - except for when I click for the ads first thing.

I always think using the word 'fuck' in an argument shows the speaker/writer knows perfectly well that they have no argument.
Greg James either doesn't have a clue or just thinks he'll say this because it's the thing to say - just thought about that and both those stances = I haven't a clue.

Lol. Compare JKR's ever-precise, thoughtful language to "get a new Dobby". He sounds like an absolute numbskull.

He was definitely referring to JKR. The end of the chapter says "Get a new Dobby. Sorry, I mean hobby." 🙄

Oh my god could he project any harder. That might be what HE'D do in that situation. In the case of JK she has applied some reason to the question and is trying to protect vulnerable people - just not the vulnerable people he finds interesting or worthy of help.

Just to clarify - I'm not saying he writes "like an older person" and that's bad. I'm saying he seems to think older people can't accept new ideas and that that applies to him, not that he's right.

Never heard of him, what an idiot. I am the same age as him, he writes like he's much older. At 39 it is not bloody difficult to accept new ideas, or it shouldn't be! Sounds like he's trying to take a pop at older women to me. If he is talking about himself that's just sad. I don't feel that my teenage years were conservative and one-dimensional either!

I know R1 were annoyed at Jordan leaving but all his colleagues posted lovely messages and whilst he claims this was "banter" I do think it was a sly dig as Jordan & Chris both ex-R1 hosting breakfast show same time as Greg. (And I do think the Sun are exaggerating with the use of the word "fued")

@DrAmanitaPhalloides what did he say about Jordan North??
I used to listen to Greg when he had the afternoon show but haven't really listened to Radio 1 for a long time now.

I used to move between Greg and Scott in the mornings, but will just stay with Scott now. For me it's the fact he thinks we haven't questioned ourselves. The arrogance of it. Yes, we have Greg, for fucking years, and yes, it really, really does matter.

Tbf I think alot of his radio show is due to the team behind the scenes. The podcasts he's done like the cricket and motor racing he has several co-presenters and a huge team behind the scenes. I heard him on the Off Menu podcast, and he soundly like a grump. His tv career never took off despite several attempts. The team on the radio show come up with much of the silliness. And given that R1 is for a "young" audience not sure how much longer he's got a slot, but also I don't a single young person who listens to any radio let alone at breakfast time as they're rolling out of bed for college. Also his response to Jordan North leaving was snooty. Glad Jordan is doing well. The book IS doing well, so the national treasure that is Greg probably expects his knighthood soon.

He calls himself a national treasure?? 😂

I really dislike him. Heard him be snotty about people who are worried and talk about climate change, on his breakfast show before. Great example to set to kids that it’s ‘boring’ to give a shit about the climate emergency. Luxury beliefs all around with him, it seems like.

His views on trans rights aside, the book just doesn't work. Rambles on without actually saying much and comes across as trying too hard to be funny. Mostly, he sounds arrogant, smug and out of touch, which isn't at all what I'd have said from listening to his radio show. It's a shame.

Same here. This is such a shame. I really like him from his radio show and got the book already and just started it. Gone off him now.

I saw him outside a TV studio once but bypassed him to get a photo with someone from Shooting Stars 😅 needless to say I will never be buying his book or listening to his radio show
