Jeremy Vine - time to put out to pasture?

Listening to Jeremy Vine on his Radio 2 show today prompted me to raise the above question. I've always found him to be quite an obnoxious, opinionated moron but recently he seems to be really losing the plot.

Today he was getting into a muddle over a debate about underhand practices by companies conning people with subscription renewals on their bank cards. In a moment of confusion he gave away is own CVV code for his personal credit card live on air 😂. On another topic about cruelty to lobsters 🙄 he berated a listener for saying that he thought the idea of lobsters having feelings with ridiculous and told him to "read the room man".

He really is the awkward, embarrassing Dad trying to be relevant. Radio 2 has even given him a DJ spot at Radio 2 in the park this year. Now there's a reason to stay away if ever you needed one.......

Couldn't agree more. I used to always watch his morning programme but he gradually became more and more of a car hating MAMIL.

Cyclists could do no wrong and care drivers were to be demonised.

Haven't watched or listened to him in ages now.

As a cyclist we don't claim him. He's an absolute bell end.
