Just spotted this bit in The Times from Alexi Mostrous’s City Diary:

Jon Gaunt, the talk show host, yesterday compared his right to call someone a Nazi with the struggle against Hitler: “Our forefathers fought the Nazis to protect such rights. It would be ironic if the word Nazi were to defeat us when the real Nazis couldn’t.” Correct perhaps, annoying certainly.

No news on if Alexi heard this on Spectrum FM…

Spectrum FM seem to be proud that they have a man called John Gaunt, who has something to do with the UK Sun newspaper, on air. (I’m not sure of the details). A number of people have asked me how he’s going down in the Levante.

I’ve held a little, informal survey on how many people like this blithering idiot.

1 person liked him. (Bloke’s a nitwit with the intellectual curiosity of Paris Hilton’s lapdog so we can dismiss his half witted opinion – personally, I don’t think he even owns a radio)

8 people confirm my view of Mr Gaunt, and one brought me a drink, which was nice.

Nobody else had heard of Spectrum or Gaunt.

Fair enough. Personally, I prefer the easy listening music of Choice FM, as do many others. Or the BBC. Or RNE5 – an enjoyable mix of Spanish intellectuals talking about a country we actually live in, as opposed to a country most people have fled from.

How else can you account for the fact that it’s 23:55 and Spectrum FM have just announced that it’s 10 minutes to 8?
Or did the fella leave the tape on while he buggered off to the pub? That WOULD explain why I’ve heard the same song 5 times in the last 4 hours…
