To think Jeremy Vine is becoming a bit of a dick

[grumpymacgrumpface]

I used to quite like Jeremy Vine but just recently he seems to have fallen victim to foot in mouth disease. A couple of months ago he suggested that the perpetrator of what had been classed as a terrorist offence might actually just have been "a nutter". Clearly this kind of terminology is offensive to anyone suffering from a mental illness but as I'm not one of the professionally offended I just took it as an unfortunate choice of words. Then on Tuesday he did a feature about people who move out of their houses leaving a mess for the new occupants, saying that these are "middle class people" - obviously suggesting that this kind of behaviour was only to be expected from the working classes who clearly live like sewer rats. I didn't hear the whole programme in either case so don't know if anyone picked him up on it but am I alone in thinking the powers that be should be having a word?

Re Jeremys

Agree about Jeremy.
The Rainbow one always unsettled me somehow.
Paxman has left his wife for a woman who is as old as his marriage was.
Corbyn I do like but I always think of him as Corbyn. He needs to change his first name! John would suit him.

Jeremy Irons is also a total dick. His 'Who do you think you are?' episode was comedy gold.He was determined to find he had Irish ancestry as he thought they were all spiritual and poetic and romantic like him - cue an hour of digging further back into his past

JI: And so finally this ancestor must have been Irish?
Expert: No, not at all, not a drop, 100% English
JI: Face like kicked puppy

At times you felt you could hear the camera crew laughing at him.

They should give Vine's show to Claudia Winkleman. I love her!

So we're pretty much saying that the majority of Jeremy's ARE dicks? Perhaps we should share these findings on the baby names thread

He's horrendous, I refer to him as Jeremy Vile. He has a real problem with anyone who lives in a council house erc.
Always look forward to when Vanessa stands in for him.

I always found him a dick.

And the people who call in are 80% dicks with dated, middle class, pro-empire, daily mail, socially conservative worldviews where the world was better 'when we were kids...'

I can't bear him either, he's been a sick for years, and only dicks are allowed on his show ( this was proven when he did a show on something I knew a lot about - friends with sensible opinions and good debating skills weren't allowed on, only stupid people with one sided, sensational views on the subject got on the show). I have to tune off radio 2 when he's on, he gives me Tourette's.

He does seem to be monumentally stupid

His show often has that Hopkins on as an "expert"

He also does the "voice" when talking about something sad. Drives me mad

He looks a dickhead in those ripped jeans!! Why doesn't he grow up the childish stick insect.

Why dont you contact the show and give your feedback - constructively of course .

Old thread but he's still a monumental plonker!
