TalkSport presenter Jon Gaunt has been suspended by the UTV-owned station after he called a London councillor a "Nazi" during a live debate.It seems harsh, and I agree with Jon Gaunt on the issue he was discussing, a London council's ban on letting children be adopted by smokers, but if he wanted to insult the Nazis he should have used a less offensive comparison.

Maybe he should have settled for 'communist', as Nazi comments always end badly.
"Maybe he should have settled for 'communist"
Yeah, but they'd probably take it as a compliment.
