Most odious person in the media

For starters . . . .

Vanessa Feltz
Hazel Blears
Peter Tatchel
Gordon Brown
. . . and that Chakrabati lad who always pops up defending the 'rights' of wayward swarthy types.

I used to like Chris Moyles but not anymore - can't bear him.... although I am super sad and listen to 5 live in the morning

Nicky tosspot Campbell is getting on my nerves now though

Did you hear him this morning talking to Stevie Wonder. Nicky Campbell really does need a bit of a kicking

Yep - thats right when I switched the radio off -he is a knob of the highest order.

I did a stint on the radio while I was in uni. After our first show we got bolloked for taking liquid into the studio - nobody had actually told us that you couldn't take fluids into the studio and they were particularly non plussed that it was 8 empty Newcastle Brown bottles - I don't know why I used to drink that rubbish!

The second show we turned up too early and so sat in the bar for 3 hours 'warming up' We were not allowed on the air as we had warmed up a little too much - Well I actually started my warm up when my lectures ended that day at 2pm - I went on the beer with one of my mates around leeds and then headed to Bradford to do the show at 7pm (the wrong time)

And so a promising radio career died for me anyway. The guy who did the hosting is now a fully fledged producer (works with Bruce dickenson from Iron Maiden and won a sony award or two) but I don't talk to him anymore as he turned into a complete w@@nker once he got in with all the media types.

I love this, couldn't have put it better myself...

Chris Moyles is an unfunny, fat, oafish *****. Forget sacking, I'd happily see my licence fee being used to purchase a cricket bat with which to beat him around his smug face.

He is a bully of the most dangerous type - one with an audience of easily-led morons, who equate celebrity with wisdom and absorb his every utterance as gospel.

The sooner he and his ilk are dispensed with, the better.


If there's one I really hate to see it's a wimp who was bullied at school trying to make up for it when they get older...coming over all smug and condascending of everyone else...always in the right on everything and not taking other peoples views or tastes into account...so yeah sack moyles.

I'm hardly the number 1 Chris Moyles fan but this comment is pretty unfair and the contributor ends up coming across even more naive and narrow-minded than Moyles sometimes does.

I occasionally listen to his show when I’m staying at home during the week since the missus has the radio set to wake her at 6:30. He does say stupid things and can be a twat and the article tries to take advantage of one of those occasions, where he used the word ‘gay’ to express his disapproval at something. I have no idea what half these comments are based on, he regularly slates nobody celebs and openly expresses his opinions about typical trash chart music and TV, against the general guidelines of the beeb, which is don’t say anything to displease the masses.

If the general people who listen to his show follow his every utterance then that’s their problem, not his. As for the comments about being a wimp and condescending, I refer to my first sentence! Actually, this is a fairly typical blinkered and mulish view from a guardian reader who pretend to be more liberal than most, and stick up for people's liberties but are so stuck up their own arse and ideal of what everyone should act like be they become more extreme wing than anyone else.

P.S. Not all guardian readers are like this. This is not a jab at any guardian readers here. Please don’t hate me.

My o/h listens to Moyles at ear-splitting volume in the mornings which has led to a few crossed words. I find him difficult to stand, but TBH, he's not really aimed at me.

I did think he came over as very arrogant at first, but I'm starting to think he's cleverer than he's given credit for - almost a parody of himself. I wouldn't listen by choice, though, as he has nothing to say on any subject that interests me - but that's hardly a surprise as I'm not his target audience.

Another thing I notice is that compared with the olden days when I used to isten to radio 1, he hardly plays any music - it has turned into more a chat thing. Full marks to him for redesigning the format, but I prefer speech radio on other channels.

I am in love with Shami Chakrabati, but cannot stand

And as for Hazel Blears (and most politicians) - beneath contempt.
