Jeremy Vine

[TomatoPotato]

You got what you wanted. I hope you’re happy now.

What!? Are you serious?

WTF! I honestly despair if this is the level of intelligence in this country.

Jeremy Vine was publicly named. Katie Hopkins said it was him, as did many posters on here on posts I saw (now deleted.) He was being harassed in the street! Damn right he should want his name cleared.

Did KH really name him? You'd think that celebrities would be a bit wary now of naming other people without evidence, given that they can get sued. Remember Sally Bercow?

I could think of many other reasons why I dislike Vine(his tax avoidance ways)

But not this

Oh yes poor old HE, he might be a sex pest and bothering very young men barely out of boyhood but he seems like such a nice likeable man so lets just gloss over all that.

For a very brief period of time and now he can't stop banging on about it.

My favourite niche phone in topic ever on JV show was “have you ever been trapped in your attic because the ladder fell down?” And he got some callers who had it happen to them.

I don't get why people sympathise with HE, he was in a senior position, one of the highest earners at the BBC, married with children and he imploded it using dating apps to have extra relationships involving giving significant sums of money and sending potentially unpleasant (according to BBC) messages. I can't see how what's happened this week in the press is anything other than 100% as a result of his actions alone.

I find him (JV) extremely irritating but I don't think he's done anything wrong in this instance. There was much speculation about the highly paid bbc star, it was turning into a feeding frenzy.

My first thought was "at least all those men who were falsely accused can rest easy now". The speculation and accusations were disgusting.

I was sat in a waiting room yesterday where they had the radio on. As 12pm rolled round the Jeremy Vine show came on and the first thing he said was Good afternoon, Jeremy Vine here, sooo Huw Edwards is revealed to be the presenter behind all the recent allegations. He was obviously just getting it out there again. Made me chuckle tbh

Nothing at all, but it seemed to me that he went on about it at extraordinary length. Compare his output on the subject with, say, Gary Linnaker's.

She did. She posted a video online naming the presenter as being Jeremy Vine. I think she's now deleted it. She is an absolute idiot, you think she'd have learned after losing her house the last time she defamed someone and they sued her.

Mumsnet:

Also Mumsnet:

Maybe he doth protest too much ?

Mud sticks. Even though HE has now been named as the BBC presenter in this case, there will be loads of people thinking "Hmm, so it wasn't JV this time, but there's no smoke without fire, is there?"

For all his faults and annoyances, I really like Jeremy as a presenter - on the telly and the radio. There is absolutely nothing whatsoever to suggest that he's guilty of any kind of impropriety of the kind that this case is about - no more than any other man in the country (famous or not) could/could not be.

Whether he goes ahead and actually does sue, I don't blame him one little bit for repeatedly protesting his innocence and threatening to sue. As we've (almost certainly) seen with HE, it's not even 'just' his personal reputation at stake, but his very successful, very well-paid career and family's livelihood too. Why would he want to run any risk whatsoever of losing any of that just as a result of groundless vicious rumour?

Compare his output on the subject with, say, Gary Linnaker's.

For right or wrong, news/political/serious journalists are always held to much higher standards than those in sport or entertainment. Millions of men throughout the country would have fervently 'stood by' him, even if he had been guilty of what HE did, whereas I don't think many would if Jeremy had done it.

I also think GL is in the unique position of being considered completely untouchable by the BBC bosses, unless somebody caught him on camera actually committing a murder or something. There must be a reason why, in amidst a lot of very handsomely-paid BBC 'talent', GL is on three times as much as the next person.

He has a platform to do so. It's not really something Gary linekar could discuss on match of the day!

Did he 'just' spend 35K of family money on said porn? Hardly 'normal', especially when there's reams of free porn out there. Would people that don't mind their partner looking at porn be ok with them paying to have customised porn and live cam sessions? Isn't that cheating?

You don't pay £35k for photos you pay that to keep them quiet
