I was teaching debating to high school kids at a workshop in Hong Kong over the past week or so and he was a guest on behalf of the British Council, alongside Nigel Evans. I'll concede that 'Poundy' doesn't look that much like David Suchet, he's a larger man with fairer skin and hair; I really only posted these two pictures because of the eery similarities. However, when I met him, I almost immediately thought: "He looks like the guy off Poirot!".
The lecherous gazing is merely one part of Poundy that doesn't accord with his Catholic family man image. He also seemed to enjoy the conversational company of numerous nubile young female participants of the workshop. I won't say anything further, because I genuinely think that despite his flaws in personality, he is a good MP.
