Another report about Mr. James Whale returning to television can be found in posting 19 to the following thread:

James Whale fired by TalkSport

Something of a retrograde step it would seem. You never know, he might now get a chance to reach the people his radio show never did. (although i doubt it is exactly the right kind of platform to do that)

Perhaps Mr. Whale may get another radio programme on another radio station (local or national) at some point in the future. I think he writes a column for the Daily Sport/Sunday and, presumably, will carry on doing so.

It is very disappointing that Mr. James Whale is no longer on Talksport - he regularly broadcast very long interviews with UKIP leader Mr. Nigel Farage MEP on Talksport (some lasting several hours) and his own anti-EU/pro-sovereignty views (reflecting those of millions of people) were clearly expressed.

The Talksport radio audience (many C2 category listeners) was just the one which UKIP needs to reach. A UKIP MEP being interviewed on Talksport radio does the UKIP and anti-EU cause more good than one being seen on BBC 1 Television Question Time for instance. Because C2 category voters (who are strongly eurosceptic and who can often determine who wins a marginal Parliamentary seat or council ward) are much more likely to listen to Talksport radio than watch Dimbleby's Question Time.

The departure of Mr. James Whale from Talksport radio means that two anti-EU presenters have left the station in less than 18 months. In December 2006, Mr. Mike Dicken, another anti-EU presenter at Talksport radio with a late-night programme slot, tragically lost his life in a car accident in the West Country.

Charlie Wolf (anti-EU and vocal about it) was also booted off LBC not so long ago. Just a coincidence I am sure.

Why hasn't George Galloway - who has a show on TalkSport - been sacked?

You don't have to wait long listening to his show to hear his bias!

Britannist

Galloway is a europhile.

Fortunately, he failed to win a seat on the London Assembly in last week's elections. In fact, he never even came close to winning.

Britannist

There have already been calls to bring back Charlie Wolff to Talksport radio (a station he has worked for before) to fill the slot left vacant by the departure from Talksport of the popular eurosceptic broadcaster James Whale.

What a pity we will no longer be able to hear Mr. Whale on Talksport telling the truth about the EU (i.e. that EU membership harms our country) and climate change (i.e. that there has been no global warming since 1998 and that climate change has been going on since the day the world was created).

...And he then advised his listeners to vote Conservative!

Does that not make Farage look like the Tory dupe he really is? What a dick!
