Constantly with this. “Mayyyyyybe we were wrong to blame him?” Two women on their panel openly defending him and his failures, selecting calls that defend him and mark him up as a saint or hero. Boris Johnson should be in prison.

    Very unfairly treated. If things were fair he’d be locked up for his crimes.

    Channel 5’s producers and talent are the most Tory of all our main five channels here in the UK by a wide margin. Daily programming is a mix of:

    • Fuck the poor lol
    • What if a rich person swapped lives with a poor person and it turns out they’re just misunderstood (we’ll breeze past explaining any exploitation involved in obtaining their wealth)
    • Oh those poor landlords having to evict tenants
    • Everybody on welfare is a fraud
    • Talking heads brown nosing the royals
    • Remember your childhood? Let’s get some talking heads to talk about the toys, chocolates, and music from when those immigrants weren’t around
    • Here’s why immigrants are taking all the jobs and draining the welfare system
    • Let’s follow cops testing out their new drones and endangering the public with pointless high speed chases through built up areas and arresting people for being out at night
    • Isn’t the south just lovely and white? You’ll get killed if you ever go north.
    • Your neighbours are out to kill you
    • Are we being too hard on the smol bean government who killed people during lockdown?

      Oh Vine has wanked over the desire to see coppers go all Sweeney again. He’s said it on his show several times.

    I cannot articulate how visceral my hatred for Jeremy Vine is. I was subjected to his radio 2 program for years in my old job. He is the epitome of the enlightened centrist who might as well be a fascist with all the white washing he does for the far right.

    I would happily watch him get eaten by rats.

      Same here. Plus he ran a bit this morning after all about how expensive BBC programs are and how they should do cuts… he makes £500k a year off the for a bleedin radio show. Doesnt even play much music.
