doesn't he do a live phone in on Saturday Kitchen Live?
I see some of you James Martin fans have kids and families. I'd have a read of his column in the Daily Mail this week before you let your loved ones anywhere near a road. It seems he'd like to see them lying injured in a ditch. YAY JAMES 🙂
just posted on his facebook fanclub page 🙂
Pete complaining to the bbc wont do a thing, as this article is made outside of his bbc work
fwiw my mum reads the daily mail too, i try explain to her but she doesnt listen
Cripes. No point going crazy, a witch-hunt will only lower peoples opinion of cyclists further!
ps does anyone remember the episode of 2DTV where someone is looking for the editor of the daily mail and eventually finds him- a huge steaming turd sitting at a desk
you think that just cyclists think running bikes off the road is a bad idea?
Presumably if the incident really did happen it's only a matter of time before the cyclists involved hear about it and they can go and kick his head in... I mean report it.
he was the big food fight quiz show the other night against HFW. He was an utter utter cock trying to be all anti-environment to wind HFW up. HFW's face summed it up nicely (utter contempt for the fat lad).
I disagree Juan. He brings the corporation in to disrepute by association. Complain and say you will stop watching his TV programme.
So ignoring the fact that the story is probably made up, a cyclist acts like a tit by banging on a car drivers roof, so the driver retaliates later on by blasting his horn as he drives passed in his silent car, scaring the crap out of the aforementioned tit? What's the problem? If I was driving an electric car and some 'One Less Car' douchebag got arsy with me, then I think this would be a pretty damn funny way to get back at him.
His the pillock that spent a mint to buy his way into the Mile Milga?!? and failed. What a tablet.
walleater- you obviously havent read the story properly...
Walleater - why do you imagine he might get a bang on his roof? Only one likely reason - he's cut someone up.
Plus he's talking about a totally different cyclist on a different day. He's furthering the idea that all cyclists are the same person, and that they don't deserve respect or reasonable safety.
Your (trolling?) argument makes you as big a cock as him.
walleater [s]has[/s] is a far bigger cock
lyons - Memberwalleater- you obviously havent read the story properly...
Why on earth would I want to read a Daily Mail story? The copy / paste thing at the start of this thread reads like some bullshit / wind up story and judging by the hounds on here, it's been received in the way it was hoped 😉
Walleater, you'd better PRAY that you're not riding in front of him wearing your Spiderman costume, or the jowly chubber will be beeping your ass good.
I think Mr Wiggins sums him up rather nicely

63 amp Plugs exist. 15, 16, 32, 125, single and 3 phase as well. Is that close enough?
What are we on about anyway? Who cares. 🙂
THis is up there with the [url= http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/matthew_parris/article3097464.ece ]Mathew Paris piano wire article[/url] that was investigated by press complaints commission. It wasn't upheld, but he was forced to apologise after ground swell of complaints.
I think complaints should be made about this article too.
[url= http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/process.html ]Press complaints commission[/url]
The difference here is that he is actually bragging about something he did, which I reckon is an offence, so comlaints to the Police as well?
I'm going to and I hope other will too.
hah, yeah but you still cant get 62 amp plugs etc...
I'd suggest the Press Complaints Commission route suggested by Feenster. He's clearly broken their code of conduct by intimidating those cyclists:
4 Harassment
i) Journalists must not engage in *intimidation*, harassment or persistent pursuit
So complain about intimidation, breaking the law, and encouraging others to break the law.
done
You actually properly have to read that Wiki page to appreciate the full effect. Marvellous!
Unmoderated comments on his blog on his personal web site [url] http://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/pcc.asp?xpath=&xpathid=&lang=eng [/url] if you can get past the god-awful flash and pictures.
Hi James,I've seen Saturday Kitchen a few times and can't help but notice that your eyes are glued to the autocue.
It would be nice if you weren't so wooden and expressed some feeling in your face rather than staring straight into the camera.
Also, I recently read one of your car reviews and I must say that your talent really does not lie in writing. In fact, it seems as if you don't have any real talent.
Why are you famous?
Tea -> Keyboard
[i]He's clearly broken their code of conduct by intimidating those cyclists[/i]
I cannot be arsed to read the PCC code in full, but even when selectively quoting it out of context it should be obvious that the PCC will not find any breach of 4(1) on the basis of that silly article.
Journalists probably do sometimes intimidate people. They shouldn't. But having a car horn beeped at you simply doesn't count. The PCC will throw out any complaints based on 4(1), rightly. Then you'll all complain, because 4(1) doesn't say "Journalists must not be asshats", that's just what you want it to say.
🙂
ctc have just said on twitter that they urge the people who he said he ran off the road to contact them.
Just been onto the PCC now. Not so much annoyed but I'd love to see him publicly eat his words. T0sser.
[i]Unmoderated comments on his blog on his personal web site[/i]
That's handy, you can even post using his name 🙂
If you'd like a cheap laugh, look around for the documentary (it must be on Dave some time) where he tried to do the Mille Miglia in Italy. He spanked out the best part of a million quid just for the car to break down terminally on the first day.
He also comes over as a total ar5ehole in that documentary.
Struggling to see his blog. Is his site experienceing technical difficulties?
BigDummy - just a suggestion, I didn't read it in full either, seems like intimidation to me though.
Surely the point of going down the PCC route is that, with enough volume of complaints, he'll be forced to apologise, regardless of whether they uphold the complaint?
Seems to be working ok, his mum's just posted..
Assuming you can get the flash site to load, it's in the bottom left corner.
That may work Chris, I take your point.
cheers chrisb46 heres my post
Well James, I must say until you wrote something about trying to make cyclists crash id never even heard of you, now ive seen your web page and realised you are the 'not respected like the other cooks on there' one of saturday kitchen.
I must say I really like the soft focus shot of you at the top of the page, with your serious stare and slight designer stubble.
But lets face it, youre a bit flabby right? face is pretty jowly you know obesity is a major cause of impotence, I think some cycling would be good for you de-clog the arteries,lower the old cholestrol, get the lil man standing to attention at command again.
Instead of scraping out your D-list celeb existence writing for a paper affectionately know as the daily hate mail (and with articles like yours we can see the bigotry shine through) as a 4th rate copy of jeremy clarckson meets gordon ramsey.
His blog is an open invitation to have some fun. Completely unmoderated, doesn't require registration, lots of real people who are actually real fans of the bell-end.
Wikipedia article has been cleaned up, unfortunately.
Ever heard of "there's no such thing as bad publicity"?
Isn't this just a large ploy in a book sales pitch (TV cooks - is he actually a chef? - usually have various books out trotting out tedious recipes no-one wishes to cook for vast sums because they're paper backs.
I tell you, you'd need to do some cycling after eating his food: it's all butter, double cream and an extra serving of lard on the side....
his site has crashed, all flash and no content now 😆
it's gone viral people 🙂
Let's get him fired like Russell Brand.
We just need to get the Daily Mail on our side.
Oh.
Daily Mail have closed and hidden comments on the article
Bradley Wiggins and Robbie McEwen have now posted angry (and sweary) tweets about him now. Cripes.
so he deliberately ran cyclists off the road, observed the effect then drove off. is that not a driving offence?
