Why does this fucker get so much TV time. He's a proper weirdo but for as long as I remember regularly gets slots on TV to air his opinions.
Just comes across as a bit of a privlidged prick that can't relate to regular people.

Not my cup of tea either on the face of it, but my wife knows him personally (in his capacity as chancellor of Chester Uni) and says he is charming and funny in real life. So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

He's always seemed decent enough to me. Notwithstanding his taste in jumpers

I quite enjoy florid use of language - makes it more interesting. I've been reading 'Mythos' by Stephen Fry, and can't help but read it in his grandiose style - quite entertaining.

Secretly hoping this was forewarning of an impending sex scandal he was involved in fingerbanging various young women in nightclubs during the nineties.
Always thought he was a twat but quite liked him on 'Just a Minute' on radio 2 - he was quite funny on that in fairness and usually showed up the 'comedians' who joined the panel.

Other than that, what's he done to you? Or has sentencing been passed already?

The fact that you can't see past the political views of anyone in any sphere is quite sad really.

Kind of grown on me actually.
Has a surprising knowledge of a lot of things like music and B horror films etc.
Prefer him on a quiz or panel show to some stupid arse like Danny Dyer or some reality show no mark.

I've always had a sexual fantasy about me and him getting it on with Susie Dent following a particularly impressive domineering showing on Countdown culminating in me turning the conundrum 'ICONFARTE' into 'Fornicate' before the things even finished turning over whilst sucking my pen seductively.
I'd have to brush up on how to whimsically, eruditely and knowingly verbosely enquire if she fancied a thumb up her arse doggy style to not come across poorly educated or uncouth but Giles doesn't seem to be on Countdown much these days and I'm shit at the numbers round so would unlikely happen anyway.

He used to be my MP. I've never met him, but it's nice to hear that a number of Oatcake contributors have very positive things to say about him.

Mate I’m actually think we should start an Oatcake Crowdfunding Campaign to get you on an intense numeracy course and make this happen!

Would certainly make the Countdown viewers drop their fig rolls Surely Whiteley has to be in there somewhere or an inflatable Whiteley at least due to him being dead I just remembered.

Mine too... but whilst I can tolerate him on TV I don't believe he did much of a job for Chester or its citizens, though none of his successors have achieved much either imo.
