John Gaunt’s Muslim Brother: The Islam A Slammer Cab Ride
SUN columnist Jon Gaunt is in a taxi. He hears over the radio that two “filthy child rapists” have had their sentences doubled. “’Four years is STILL no deterrent for child rape,’ I shouted at the radio.”
The driver is a Muslim, says Gaunty. He turns off the radio. He says in a “quiet” voice: “I can’t see why they don’t bring in flogging.”
Says Guanty: “He wasn’t a religious zealot and he wasn’t calling for Sharia law.” Nor was he demanding all Jews be killed, that Abu Hamza be freed or that tabloid journalists stop looking at Muslims as Muslims and not just as citizens of the UK.
“He was just a decent hard-working man like me who wants his wife and daughters protected and rapists and paedophiles punished.”
Gaunty concludes: “My Muslim brother is right.” But did he get a tip?

Using a left-wing protected species to Trojan in right-wing reforms is a noble tradition - as a dedicated corporatist libertarian (which is mostly centre left, with a hint of right), I do it in debates all the time (eg. Gay men need to buy fast moving consumer goods - it’s part of their identity!!!), but that is the lamest Trojan I’ve ever read. That’s a blatant human shield - every white person down the pub says paedos should get flogged, but I’ll just mention the one Muslim taxi driver I had a chat with.

I just think Gaunt is a complete prick - if anybody knows him could they tell him from me.

Teddy Boy - you are wrong. It is not “Gaunt is a complete prick”, rather Gaunty is a prick. Just ask any Muslim
