A quote from George Galloway on Jon Gaunt "... the reason I wasn't in The Clash Of The Titans was that the small, squat, squeaky, little bigot, little moron - Jon Gaunt refused to allow me to appear on The Clash Of The Titans. He wanted to spew out his bigoted bile without having to face me. He called me a gutter-snipe. Well, being called a gutter-snipe by Jon Gaunt is like being told to sit up straight by The Hunchback Of Notre Dame."
