At about 11 mins he shoots her bleating claims of islamophobia down in flames Ghastly woman she refused to answer his question as to what justified the 7/7 bombers.

Reference another thread - Gaunty referred to himself as a "Fat English Bloke"

Yes, i listened to it at lunchtime, he certainly made her look pretty stupid

I used to love it when he was on TalkSport Mon - Fri .........mornings used to fly by. I heard an old workmate on to him once

I used to listen to Jon EVERY morning when he was on the show that made him infamous..Local 3 Counties radio..He was truly a great presenter or DJ as he referred to himself on that show..

He completely lost the plot on that crap Talk***** station where he turned into an annoying Mobile phone and Nintendo salesman..
Really lost respect for him when he bottled out of a fight against another great presenter at the time... George Galloway..
George offered him out to 3 rounds in a boxing ring (on live radio) after Jon insulted him....
Jon bottled it and was a no show..(money raised would have gone to charity)
Never tuned in again after that.

I used to listen to him on Talksport, always interesting but he would suddenly turn on a caller for no apparent reason calling them bigots, facists etc, or cutting them off short before they could expand on their point. Forever blowing his own trumpet.
Like to see him back though, cant stand the morning presenters now

Up here we used to have James Whale on Radio Aire...hilarious on his late night phone-in show, then he got famous and on to the telly, which scuppered things.

Baroness Afshar? Never heard of the woman, to be honest ... but it seems like she fancies herself as some kind of female version of that other misguided old campaigner - the late [unlamented] Lord Longford.

There are some very odd people being given power and influence in our country.

Thin end of the wedge...
