First up, there\u2019s Jeremy Kyle, a man who made his name by shouting at working-class people on daytime TV \u2013 a show, you may remember, that was once described by a judge as \u201chuman bear-baiting\u201d<\/a> and later pulled from production following the suicide of a guest<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next, there\u2019s Ash Gould, brother of sports and politics broadcaster Jonny Gould. And finally, hosting the whole thing is Mark Wogan, the son of the late, great Irish TV and radio legend Terry Wogan. Nepotism is alive and well.<\/p>\n The running order was classic TalkTV angry nonsense stuff. They spent most of the 23 minutes on air complaining about apps, security trays at airports, fancy food in restaurants, and having to pay for shopping bags (seriously, what year is this?).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n So, naturally, we were always going to end up on cycle lanes at some point.<\/p>\n Segueing seamlessly from complaining about escalators in tube stations, and the suggestion that commuters could pay to use the \u2018fast side\u2019 to bypass those standing more easily, Wogan Jnr came up the idea that motorists should also be able to do the same thing: pay extra to use an additional fast lane.<\/p>\n \u201cAll those bike lanes that Sadiq Khan put in, we could use those!\u201d he said, eliciting a long and audible groan from Mr Kyle at the mere mention of cycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n \u201cOr celebrity lanes\u2026 if you are famous, you can go in the bike lane in your car. And just wave at people and be pleased to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n That jokey transport policy suggestion (or at least I hope he was joking), obviously led to some classic blokey chat about Holly Willoughby, Philip Schofield, and the Queen\u2019s funeral. Which probably means it wouldn\u2019t be the best idea.<\/p>\n >\u00a0“Do you pay road tax?” GB News host admits he jumps red lights while cycling<\/a><\/p>\n Anyway, believe it or not, some of TalkTV\u2019s listeners weren\u2019t overly enamoured at the suggestion that cycle lanes \u2013 whether the work of Boris Johnson or Sadiq Khan \u2013 had \u201cruined\u201d London.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Netherlands and other European countries have embraced cycle lanes and are not ruined,\u201d said fleetfut in the comments.<\/p>\n \u201cMost people who drive in London WANT to, but they don’t need to,\u201d added David, while Collins claimed: \u201cCycle lanes are the least of London\u2019s problems\u201d (probably best for all of us not to unpick that statement).<\/p>\n![\"Jeremy](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/screenshot-656.png\" "\\"Jeremy")
