Apparantly. Not sure what time (show is from 12 till 2), get stuck in (in a polite and constrctive manner) if you can. 🙂
This is Jeremy Vine, not the 15 second looping video website isn't it?
All becomes clear.
That would involve giving the excuse of a human the pleasure of my time.
Same as Drac.
I would never deliberately tune in to Vine and his odious,shockjock shite.
Good to hear that Ben Hamilton Baillie did the defence. His schemes are some of most effective imo.
His show is the audio equivalent of reading the daily mail.
audio equivalent of reading the daily mail
true - but this a topic close to me so i'll endure for a bit longer
And there was me thinking it would be a great opportunity for cyclists to have a voice on a massive national peak time radio platform.
Perspective's a funny thing, hey.
No - it is reasonable to think that as cyclist provision make up one of the many component parts that shared spaces need to cater for. Its really an urban design led approach, developed from dutch models that generate safer streets, greater user awareness and responsibility and also make some really nice urban spaces.
However the R2 show was mostly about someone falling over something..... 🙄
Well, that's what confuses me about comments like the Vine Show being the Daily Mail of radio - I only heard a few minutes of it, but they had some bloke on the phone saying "I think it's dangerous, drivers are confused and don't know where to go", and Vine was saying "well - that's the point."
Each to their own and all that, but I've heard a few of his shows and I don't know of another presenter who does so much to cover both sides of an argument. The discussion points are contentious, sure, but there wouldn't be much to discuss if they were something everyone agreed on, but it's never, never a Mailesque whitewash job, not from what I've heard.
His show is a hideous mishmash of the daily mail, white van man and artificial BBC balance.
So you have shit stiring topics straight from the Mail, man on the street ignorance and prejudice from the callers and minority views which are clearly batshit insane given equal precedence to sensible views due to the BBCs fear of being seen as biased.
But AFAIK Vine is a cyclist and comutes by bike so when they debate cycling he does stick up for the cycling viewpoint.
The Jeremy Vine Show is really just a poor spoof of "Down The Line" with Gary Bellamy.
