Kyle, you're a DISGRACE!!!

[Baggie]

I have just watched the show on ITV2 with guests Chantelle, Matt & Mark and i was disgusted at Jeremy's attitude towards Mark because he'd been to jail for fighting without even knowing any details. He INSTANTLY looked down on him as a lesser person because of it.

I am a perfectly respectable 28 year old man, who's had a very good upbringing on a nice estate in a respectable area. I'm a salesman by trade, but unfortunately got made redundant 8 weeks ago.

When i was 17 years old on a night out at a local pub, 3, 21 year old lads who used to go to my school, totally unexpectedly cornered me between a wall and the DJ's van on the carpark and my so called mates ran off whereas i was put in a position where i didn't have that option. In that split second i had to make a decision, wither and get kicked in by 3 guys, or stick up for myself and probably get kicked in by 3 guys, so i chose to stick up for myself and as it happened they came off a lot worse than i did.

They didn't like the fact that 3 of them(21yrs) started on 1 17 yr old and lost so they decided to go to the Police, i got arrested and charged with 1 section18 wounding, and 2 section47 ABH's. Of course, rightly so, i pleaded NOT GUILTY on self-defense. Our Fantastic British Justice system(sarcasm) found me Guilty of an unprovoked attack on 3 men and gave me 3.5 years in prison, PATHETIC.

I've had to live with this affecting my life in every way ever since, which is hell, and i'm disgusted to tune into a show hosted by a guy thats supposed to know about life, and he insults me by his single minded prejudice attitude, when i'm just as respectable and responsible as he is, if not MORE(relating to Jeremy Kyle's fairly recent antics)!!!

I would appreciate a response to this, and not a standard company email either, i would like a response that includes an apology for the attitude that has caused me insult and also i would like know how/if Jeremy will be changing attitude to this kind of situation. As i've always said, "It's not like I burgled, mugged, raped or any of those things, absolutely ANYONE can get into a fight, as my story proves.

this man is not a disgrace.

I think the guests that come on are interviewed quite extensively by a research team before even reaching the stage. A lot of the oh what a shock noises made by Jeremy are put in to emphasize problems which is rather a lot of showmanship, perhaps the tell - tale clues to this are the leading questions that are used at times, such as "tell us what happened on such a day at such a place" when information is not voluntarily given out.
I would assume therefore, had Mark said to his research team that he had been in a fight as a victim due to being bullied by 3 older people, there is a rather large probability that Jeremy would not have rained down on him quite as harshly. 3.5 years for a 17 year old fighting does seem rather severe.  Was this a first offense?
