British radio presenter fired for calling a councillor a "Nazi"
British bureaucrats are very Gestapo-like but you must not say so:
"Jon Gaunt was dismissed following an internal investigation into the remarks he made during a discussion about Redbridge council's blanket ban on smokers becoming foster parents. During the interview, Cllr Michael Stark tried to justify the policy, which will come into force in January 2010, saying that the welfare of young children should be put ahead of the needs of foster families.
However, Mr Gaunt, who was in care as a child, accused his guest of being "a Nazi" and "an ignorant pig". Mr Gaunt was forced to make an on-air apology to Cllr Stark at the end of the show earlier this month, and was suspended pending a full investigation. However, the station said in a statement that they had terminated Mr Gaunt's contract.

The petty and not so petty authoritarianism of British bureaucrats (particularly local bureaucrats and councils) is portrayed almost daily on POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WATCH

Have no fear. Soon, Sharia Law will rule Britain and this nation of socialist pansy's can perhaps return to being the "normal" place it used to be. Just wait until they find out how politically correct the radical muslims will be! (LOL)
Ad hominem attacks have no place in public discourse, whether wielded by the right or the left.
The guy should have accused the Cllr of having "fascist policies" based on "ignorance and willful blindness" rather than attacking the man himself.
In America, if they disqualified smokers from being foster parents, there would be about 1 foster parent for every 100,000 foster kids.
Must be nice to have such a bountiful crop of foster parents to choose from!
You are assuming the politically correct care about reality. They do not!
