1300 signatures on a petition and being pushed by a disability news service.
I don’t watch his show, but doesn’t feel like this will have any consequence for him on that basis.
Jeremy vine might be once of the few BBC presenters left who takes in every caller, every opinion no matter what they believe and gives that person a voice
The ‘disability community’ acts like this towards any person that questions them or raises contrary views. If you have any sort of disagreement with them, you’re literally Hitler. I think people have seen through this nonsense and are bored of it. If you can’t handle moderate disagreement, don’t watch Vine.
It’s a talk show. It’s predicated on getting viewers to call in from both sides of a debate, he’s not there to challenge the viewer’s perspectives any more than what’s necessary to get a conversation flowing. Job done.
Vines an idiot… I don’t understand the draw.. but regardless of how dire he is, why do these groups always default to cancel culture?
Why is it always about petitioning to take people off air??
That show platforms some serious far right scum and I don’t think it’ll be missed, I mean Carol Malone makes Thatcher look moderate by comparison.
Doesn’t he face calls for his show to be axed weekly? It’s not very good and it’s there to bait people into engaging. If it’s working, as it seems to be, they have no reason to stop making it.
His show feels sponsored by reform at this point, when he’s not recording himself being a twit on a cycle
Can we please avoid making far reaching judgements based on minimal information?
This show came on once when i had the tele on in the background. I honestly have no idea how this on of tv and who watches it. Its like watching people have a conversation after 10 pints, confidently talking bullshit about topics they have no clue about. Think it was something about the younger generations employment statistic. “When i was younger Id just take my CV to all the local butchers and corner shops”. All being over 60 and haven’t worked a proper job in 30 years.
Who even watches Jeremy Vine? Genuinely one of the most boring people to ever exist.
The UK has a massive welfare problem. Get these “ adhd “ disabled into work. And protect people who need it.
It’s televisual rage bait. I swear it’s only constructive purpose is to encourage people to go and do something else instead
Would be far more constructive to show Milkshake for the rest of the morning

He’s such an obvious Reform supporter.
His passive aggressive behaviour to any left wing view and his grin from ear to ear of a right wing panelist / call is shocking behaviour.
It should be banned for being shite and another reform mouthpiece. Considering how good the wright stuff was, it’s a shadow of what it used to be
Isn’t it good for a talk show to have guests from both ends of the spectrum? For every ‘far right’ regular, there will be someone with ultra liberal views – Marina Purkiss comes to mind immediately
A show ran by gobshites, staffed by gobshites and watched by gobshites…..
Another reason not to have terrestrial TV!
