UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP has come out in support of embattled Talksport presenter and Sun columnist Jon Gaunt.
Mr. Gaunt was suspended by Talksport because of remarks made during a live conversation on placing foster children with families that smoke.Mr. Farage said: "We do not condone Mr. Gaunt's rather colourful language and some of the terms he used, things for which he has already apologised. However, it is an emotive subject and we fully support his stance on this matter.
"It seems unbelievable that children, badly in need of care and affection, can be denied this chance just because the people offering to give them a home happen to smoke."We hope that Mr. Gaunt is quickly reinstated so that he can continue to pursue important issues such as this."
Josh O'Nyons is a former UKIP member.
