[stuarthat]

Why would you even say /ask this ?

Amazing how something dumb that Vine said on his Channel 5 show can be turned into a moan about the BBC and Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty

I’m more offended that vine, a white middle aged, public school, active Christian, male dominates the morning slot on tv, then the mid day slot on radio.

Perhaps he should step down and allow someone from a bame background have a chance.

Nah thought not. Easier for him to point out lack of diversity elsewhere.

With age comes experience and sensibility or something 😂

Anyway Vine just baits the Daily Mail readers so they call into his shows all outraged.

Must be hellish being so attuned to diversity issues, losing sleep over the fact that tobogganing is an all white sport.

Whilst I hesitate to defend the chap with the show I most detest on radio, I can’t help but feel that calling him scum and a wker is a touch...overkill ?
Is it really necessary to get yourself so worked up about somebody who presents a tv show you most likely don’t watch? His radio show IS far more likely to be heard, but I personally just turn it over or off.

I guess I just don’t get the need for such vitriol.

I commented on the other thread, his wife is white middle class public school as well. I’m guessing his kids are privately educated. Do as I say not as I do .

Quite.

I've never listened to his radio show and I've never watched his TV show.

It's pretty easy to avoid.

I mean "utter scum" seriously

^This. He’s not a criminal, he provides for his family, he pays his taxes, and he clearly entertains a lot of people. So, he’s a good man, even if I don’t like his show or his opinions much. It’s just his job to spark debate and he’s certainly achieved that.

On the specific point about the royal family’s funeral, I think it’s neither race-baiting nor particularly noteworthy. I just think it’s a bit like pointing out that at Mr Smith’s funeral a disproportionate number of people had the surname ‘Smith’.

I'm starting to think that some of the posters on PH are purely parody accounts. Jeremy Vine is 'scum' and a 'wker' really?

[Sn1ckers]

Not keen on Vine.

I find many of the subjects he discusses totally uninteresting, some wind me up.

So I turn over to Virgin.

Job done.

[Johnnybee]

He’s very good on Steve Wright in his singing the hits section.

Love the show Steve.

They do have a few good ones;

Lisa Tarbuck
Jo Whiley
Sara Cox
Craig Charles (admittedly Marmite)

[Biggus thingus]

Much prefer his brother Tim

He's a far more likeable and entertaining bloke

I agree, he is not "scum". That's reserved for far worse.

But I'd agree he is a wker, though.

And a clown.

Apologies for my earlier post, which I have now deleted.

It is indeed a shame that Vine has managed to survive the rampant tokenism in the media.
