He said 'the lagoon has been turned black'
TV and radio presenter Jeremy Vine has criticised social media companies in the wake of the jailing of a former BBC local radio presenter for stalking. Alex Belfield, 42, was last month found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court of waging a campaign against a number of figures from the broadcasting world, including Mr Vine.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Mr Vine criticised platforms such as YouTube and Twitter, saying: “We had to get lawyers to get his s*** taken down, and even then it’s hard. The companies just say no. They don’t have any moral values.”Mr Vine said stalking is common for broadcasters. He added: “Of my three best female friends at the BBC, all of them have had stalkers.
“The lagoon has been turned black.” Jurors convicted Belfield of four charges committed between 2012 and 2021. Belfield, who has 359,000 followers on his YouTube channel, The Voice Of Reason, and 43,000 on Twitter, directed his attacks via social media “in highly negative and often abusive terms”, the judge said.
