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

[Melinda]

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.

Sell your principles for a jag-wah?!

 

[Awesome Wells]

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

sue the cunt, surely calling someone in print a 'nonce's mate' has to be libellous!

Gaunt's Gary Glitter campaign caught the eye of the Moral Maze producers on R4 a few months back.

They invited him on and his behaviour on the show was reprehensible- self righteous, ranting loon he was.

Michael Portillo picked him up on his use of provocative language and its likelihood to incite mob violence, and also the fact Gaunt brings is own children into every argument.

Out argued, Gaunt replied something like "When I want advice about protecting my daughters from sexual deviants, it wont be from someone like you."

His whole 'call me Gaunty'- man of the people act, his refusal to listen anyone who doesnt agree with him, his reductive reasoning, his scrapping of the barrel to appeal to the very lowest of common denominator.
I loathe him and his jag-wah.

I thought it was to do with Norman ripping the piss out of Gunt for naming Rolf Harris in his List of top 10 Brits.

Just for the record, here's Jon's list of Great Brits:

The Queen
Barbara Windsor
Cliff Richard
Henry Cooper
Bruce Forsyth
Joanna Lumley
Alan Sugar
Richard Branson
Lorraine Kelly
Rolf Harris

'shove a pineapple sideways up his arse'.

Found it.

I agree, as much as I love endless football talk, it was a better station during the talkradio days - Tommy Boyd's show was legendary stuff and they had a female agony aunt type on during the day.

Didn't know Collins was a thatcherite, he's always seemed ok to me. I've definitely heard other leftys on there though.

I used to listen to "The Human Zoo" with Tommy Boyd, where he'd take calls unscreened for an hour or so. Fantastic radio it was.

 

[The Octagon]

I've been listening to Talksport more recently, just because I find some of the presenters fascinating and repulsive in equal measure (ok, probably more repulsive than fascinating, but you get my point).

I'm just waiting for someone with some actual sense to call in and tear them apart, but from what I've heard the presenter would shout them down and then cut them off.

 

[Sadken]

Christ, Gaunt and his fucking jag-wah. Does anyone else get the feeling that he might be slightly insecure at heart?

Does anyone know where the list is? That is hilarious. Lorraine fucking Kelly....where's the nurses, Gaunty? Where's the troops?!

 

[Flashman]

Hawksbee and Jacobs seem okay, Adrian Durham is a leftie but alongside him Ian Wright is a Tory, most footballers always were/are (although Clough threatened to beat his players up if they voted for Thatch IIRC lol). You've obviously got yer man Gallaway.

MacKenzie hasn't been involved since '05.

Jon Gaunt is a cunt.

Bring back Boyd and The Human Zoo.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

It's in his new book, 'Great Britain, not rubbish Britain!', according to Norman.

He outs Gaunty's list here.

"Jon Gaunt for PM!" declares Anthea Turner. "This book should be compulsive reading for anyone seeking British citizenship!"

Update : Sacked!

[Andrew Hertford]

How the mighty do fall. To think he used to present the morning show on GLR!

Is there actually anywhere lower than talksport for him to fall to next?

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

If my smile gets any wider I think the top of my head might fall off.

 

[ajk]

I lol'd.

[Awesome Wells]

So Frodo really did make it to Mordor!

 

[Fedayn]

No doubt The Sun will portray him as a fearless speaker etc etc etc

 

[Gingerman]

He can unload his bile,vent his spleen etc in the Sun.

 

[Melinda]

Been a good couple of days all round!

This quote from the Evening Standard about Rod Lucas the TalkSport fash radio DJ made me laugh too!

I thought this was a free country? ...

But BNP is not actually a banned organisation and all this talk of people 'exposed' is frankly ridiculous.
As for TalkSport, at the rate they are going they won't have any decent presenters left.

Talksport have a little schedule juggling to do.

more's the pity.

 

[sumimasen]

WILD AL KELLY! Have not heard that name in over 10 years, he was brilliantly rude! Wish I could find some of his stuff online..

 

[Kev the Gooner]

In your own words Gaunty Bye bye, bye, bye.

What does it say in the Radio Times now? Who show is it?

Just for the record, I listen to Talksport all day.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Just for the record, I listen to Talksport all day.

Unfortunately, having a van and being a plumber type, so do I. It's part of the job description, you see.

Hopefully Collins will get the gig. I enjoy his meandering whimsical style. I used to like it when it was Collins and Parry about 4 years ago. Parry being the professional idiot/troll and Collins his straight man.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Glad to see the brownshirted demagogue has been sent packing.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Ha! I just heard an apology on Talksport that included the words "After an internal investigation, Jon Gaunt's contract has been terminated"

Hallelujah!

 

[nino_savatte]

Yes!
