Our Chief Medical Officer. Undoubtedly a very well educated, intelligent man who plays a vital role in the nations battle with COVID. Most commonly seen standing alongside Boris, but is not of political interest, just happens to be the man the Prime Minister turns to for key advice. But... Chris Whitty is a very wooden character (no wife, no kids) who has now been hauled in front of the tv cameras, in prime time commercial breaks, to deliver the ‘stay home’ message. It’s no wonder so many ignore this instruction when it is delivered in a drab manner by a drab man. Why not get the message on our screens by proper respected celebrities such as Ant and Dec, Ken Barlow off Coronation Street, Neil Redfern or the Shake n Vac woman. Any other suggestions?
I personally think I'd listen to him more than those listed (other than Redders obviously) just because he is more wooden and serious.
With great respect, I couldn't disagree more. It would amount to being complicitous in the continuing dumbing-down of this nation. People need to use their intelligence and respect that this guy has great learning and experience, and basically knows better than us. Not because of who he is, but because of his achievements and his experience. His personal life is of no relevance here. He is imparting a message we need to listen to.
I’m sure you would equally remember Hattie Jaques completely starkers although for completely different reasons
Chris whitty has the perfect face for the spectre of doom, i can,t recall him ever saying anything positive, that seems like Patrick vallances job, whitty is cannon to vallances ball...lol
He's like the Grim Reaper without the scythe. Seriously though, I read that his dad was killed by terrorists in Greece hence a bit of sympathy required.
He’s a scary looking fella. That’s why I do the complete opposite of everything he says. Beer at mine, anyone?
