David Vance is a **** of the order who pretends he matters. He is nothing more then a loudmouth.

How is he given so much airtime? Obviously to be a cretin and to try and divide opinion but I believe its things like this are part of the BBC govt led agenda.  I'm not saying David Cameron is saying 'Get David Vance on Radio Six Counties' but I think in the name of 'balance' they bring out a controversial mouthpiece like himself to rile and engage trade unionists and working callers into spats of small single issues and in turn satisfying an agenda that allows austerity to become acceptable.

Because he is an easy choice. He is a "rent-a-quote" who you can guarantee will spout anti-agreement right wing views on any subject you throw at him.

The bookers can either spend a lot of time trying to arrange for a range of different people to be on a show or just take the easy option of calling someone who will always agree to be on and will always give predictable, inflame the listeners type responses.
