And why is every Jeremy on Telly a complete c*nt? So far mentioned:

  • “electric cars tyres pollute far more than petrol cars as whole” (WTAF?)
  • “we only make 0.9% of all carbon pollution” (who do we out source to, dumbass?)
  • “we havent the space for wind turbines and solar panels dont work” (come and lick my terminals you conflatious idiot! Never mind the fact we could sell the electric on every house, if we had enough solar, to France and Germany)
  • “wE caNT sToRe EleCTriC” (I mean holy crap, batteries, gravity, heat storage in sand, its not that these dont exist - they push for perfection before they even consider adoption and physics will never allow perfection - lets just get the f*ck on with fixing this problem)

    To be fair, that is the whole point of the show, it has to manufacture consent somehow. It’s what he is paid for (whether he knows it not) and he has his tv time to do it.

    What would be the point of the show if he didn’t use it to push capital’s shitty addenda’s into the minds of the viewer? Why else would they be paying him. It sure isn’t entertainment or to inform.

      Absolutely. The Daily Mail owns 20% of ITN, who are the parent company of Vine’s show. Who has a stake in the Mail? The petrochemical and oil industry.

      They’ve often banged on about “just live with it” or “learn to live with it” when talking about climate or health. Yeah because crops “learn to” carry on growing when the ground is a parched bleedin’ 65C
