It is a great pity that Mr. James Whale is no longer broadcasting on Talksport radio. His programme is not the first one at Talksport radio presented by a eurosceptic to end in the last 18 months (Mike Dicken who hosted a late night programme at weekends tragically lost his life in a car accident in the West Country in December 2006).

Since leaving Talksport radio last month Mr. Whale has started a programme on Bid TV (the shopping channel available by satellite and through the set-top 'Freeview' box).

Eurosceptic Mr. Whale often broadcast long interviews with UKIP leader Mr. Nigel Farage MEP and Talksport radio listeners are often just the sort of audience who are likely to agree with Mr. Farage on the subject of the EU.

There is also this newspaper letter from a former MP for one the Leeds constituencies about Mr. Whale's time broadcasting to radio listeners in Yorkshire's largest city:
