Apparently, a council in London (possibly the now infamous Haringey) placed a blanket ban on smokers who wish to become Foster parents, leaving vulnerable children in the no man's land of local authority care.
As someone who grew up for a while in local authority care- Gaunt ran the story on his show and when a representative of the above council finally came on and faced the music Gaunt labelled him/her a "fascist".
The poor mite was obviously quite upset. We now live in times where it's now the done thing for all and sundry to be sacked if they so much as express a personal opinion. That's the reason why media is full of piss weak wimpy grey yes men like that spineless **** Jeremy Vine.
