Reinstate the Gaunty one!
This blog doesn't exactly hold a brief for Jon Gaunt, as past mentions testify. His sacking from Talksport however for calling the Redbridge councillor Michael Stark a Nazi for banning smokers from fostering children is clearly an overreaction. Gaunt merely intended to call him a "health Nazi", and who could disagree that banning smokers from being able to care for children smacks of authoritarianism?
We just can't have people being sacked for speaking their minds. After all, if Gaunt can't call a health Nazi a health Nazi soon the rest of us won't be able to call Gaunt a fat, bumptious, oleaginous, simple twat. And I personally cannot imagine the horror of living in a world where that isn't possible.

Hi
Well for those who would like to try to get Gaunty back on the air, there is an online petition at:
http://www.englandmyengland.net/gaunty
Pop along and sign it and give Gaunty a few words of support, or tell TalkSport what you think!
Cheers!
Les :)
