By Martin Robinson PUBLISHED: 10:39 EST, 31 May 2012 | UPDATED: 02:53 EST, 1 June 2012 Anger: Live on air Mr Paxman said Greece could be vomited out of the Euro like a bad kebab, to the anger of a guest Jeremy Paxman has compared Greece's potential exit from the Euro to that of 'a bad kebab' being 'vomited out.' The Newsnight presenter was given a tongue-lashing by a Greek guest and criticised on Twitter after his comments, made on the show last night, were branded 'offensive' and 'disrespectful' to the country and its people. The abrasive BBC journalist was describing Greece's political and financial problems when he used the 'bad kebab' analogy to explain what the rest of the Eurozone may want to do with them.
