Shadow work and pensions secretary Chris Grayling has criticized the ?Jeremy Kyle? generation as a generation of people with little chance of holding a job down and a high rate of criminality.
So, do you reckon Jeremy Kyle is tuning this nation into a collective of mongs, oafs, wasters, and chav birds? If so, how do we kick him and the ?Kyle culture? into touch?

The 'Jeremy Kyler's' have always existed, but in real terms this is the part of society that is on the ten-fold increase and who's influence is currently (far too) dominant. The shocking part of this for many is that, in days of yore, these people weren't parading their dysfunctional lives on primetime tv (primarily, of course, to earn their 15 minutes of fame and the respect of their peers) they kept their inbred, low-prospects ways to the terraces and sink estates wheras now of with the rise of all things 'chav' and the creation of celebrity chavs and their much-publicised fuck-ups - the Britney's, the Jade Goody's etc - plus of course the fact that much 'daytime tv' is actually custom-made for this sort - these people are seen increasingly as 'the norm', with their once-shameful antics something to be celebrated in our 'dumbed down' world....

Thus proving there has been a diminution in broadcasting standards.
I can recall the days when there was only a testcard shown throughout the morning and the majority of the afternoon on television. Ah, wonderful programming - when compared to the utter rubbish that's shown these days.
