Jeremy Vine says he was 'fired on from all directions' by Alex Belfield & 'disgusted' with YouTube

The BBC broadcaster Jeremy Vine says that YouTube "don't care" about abusive videos posted on the platform by convicted Nottingham stalker Alex Belfield. In an interview on BBC Two, Mr Vine said that several videos about him uploaded by Belfield were still on the platform.

The BBC Radio 2 and Channel 5 presenter was one of the victims of Belfield's stalking, which included his home address being published online and Belfield supporters being encouraged to call into his radio show. Belfield was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this month, with a sentence of 5 years and 26 weeks being handed down.

Belfield, 42, of Mapperley, was told that he will serve half of that time on all of the four charges he was convicted of. Two of the charges Belfield was convicted of were for "simple stalking".
