John Gaunt suspended over 'Nazi' comment (now sacked)

Whatever happened to Caesar The Geezer?

Ah, man....just reminded me....remember he used to say repeatedly that if anyone had any personal problems and they didn't want to discuss them on air, to page him and he would call them for a confidential heart to heart? Well, being 13, me and my mate paged him. Sure enough, a week later my mum called me up to tell me that Caesar the Geezer (that being the name given - she'd never heard of him) was on the phone. At first I thought it was a wind up and then I panicked and told him I was getting abused by my neighbour. He had me on the phone for about 45 minutes, telling me all about his own probs growing up etc. just being the single nicest person I've ever encountered to this very day and I felt about this small:

I felt so small....you can't even see it....

:(
 
this ^^

i put it on about once a month to listen to it for 'entertainment purposes' then after five minutes turn it off again, realising why i never listen to it.

Gaunt is someone i cant listent to. His voice sends a cold chill down me. He really does hit the higher decibels that my speakers and my ear drums just cannot handle.

His voice is so annoying! Only caught one of his shows cos the taxi driver had it on -- I thought he was someone parodying him!!
 
I have been a Gaunty fan for years but he's overstepped the mark this time, our local councillor came on to give an explanation on the new rules about fostering and smoking (which I agree with 100 per cent).

I am sick of the way Gaunty speaks to people, hes got worse over the last year or so. I listen to LBC now.

He makes out like he was the people's champ in the old days. Any truth to that?

He never came across like that to me. I still like him as a person but things have gone to his head which is a shame as he covers some good topics and when he does let people get a word in he's quite good, but I think he went way over the top with this one. Shock Jock tactics are wearing a bit thin IMO. His best times were when he first joined BBC London.
 
He's far too right wing for my liking.

In fact, a sizeable majority of listeners who call that type of phone-in radio shows are rather Daily Mailesque and right wing themselves. I used to listen to them but had stop to due to raising blood pressure; even BBC London is plagued by such callers.

The only question is who is the bigger cock between him and Nick fucking Ferrari.

Gaunt used to be on BBC London as well, just before Robert Elms so used to catch the end of his show sometimes. Fairly lively phone ins.

still better than Vanessa Feltz's 'whats better, coffee or tea'

He's shit and obvious. Give me James Whale any day!
 
Ian Collins is pro-Thatcher. Not very left leaning IMO!

When it was talkradio it was decent. But then it became the audio version of the sun and turned into white van man radio.


^ Truth.

Don't like his show. I don't think he should or will, lose his job over this piece of cliched inappropriate hyperbole though.
 
They should bring back Tommy Boid. He got sacked for failing to dump a caller who said something naughty about wanting to shoot the Royal Family. Couple of days after the Queen mum popped it.
 
Gaunt is a total cock, but isn't this the moral majority dicks sensing the wind behind them and happily being indulged by bosses who used to just ignore the fucking eejits

Gaunt used to be on 'The Left'. I used to live in Coventry as did he. He helped open the Tic Toc a club/music venue and was pretty sympathetic to some of the more Left-leaning Labour Party activists branches in Coventry.
 
I reckon I would probably sell out all my principles and become a complete cunt like he has for the sort of money he is constantly carping on about having. Well, I'd sell out all my principles, anyway.

Prob more money in being a right-wing loudmouth,never actually listened to his radio stuff,the shit he writes for the Sun is more than enough to put anyone off.Gaunt and the rather good Mathew Norman of the Independent have been feuding for the last few months,seems to have started when Norman wrote in his column that basically Gary Glitter shouldn't be hung,drawn and quartered when he was sent back to this country a few weeks ago,Guant rechristened him "Norman the nonce's mate" in one of his pisspoor columns for the Sun,very grown up :rolleyes:
