he doesn't have to - he's already on record (in court) as being a Holocaust denier

Not going to bother watching, the bloke won't get a fair chance and it will be a BNP bashing party, deservedly or not it stitchup to make the BNP look bad and cost them votes in 9 months time at the General Election. The big 3 are terrified there is a backlash coming.

just seems like great publicity for the BNP and a way for them to use political speak to garner support on a national level

I somewhat agree with Cho in that the big 3 parties wouldn't be making all this noise if they weren't worried.
Peter Hain from Labour tried to use the legal angle to get the BBC to withdraw Mr.Griffin's invitation. BBC basically told him to FOAD in nice language.

My opinion is that Lib-Lab-Con are scared that BNP might be closer to the British public's opinion than they are. They tried to pull quite a few stunts to get Mr.Griffin pulled and none of them worked.

Let the guy have his day. If he's a wolf in lamb's clothing, it'll be exposed pretty quickly as a nasty piece of work. If he has valid points that leave the other parties looking like arseholes, the public will see that too. Trying to get the guy banned from the media just makes his position stronger.


Oh yeah, and the anti-fascist demonstrators are more violent than the BNP supporters! Go figure!

as much as i disagree with pretty much everything the bnp is about an they do, the show seemed to be a complete farce.

It's true he is not going to stand a chance i spent about 4 seconds watching it and it was all vs one which worryingly made me want to support him. Underdog syndrome rather than agreeing with him.

But it looks like when he answers a question the guy in the middle just says Holocaust Denier and the studio laugh and cheer.

well as it was question time I was expecting Dimbleby to keep it as a fair political debate, but so far its just been BNP bashing, which really is only going to play into their hands as they will just say it shows that the media and the establishment are out to get them and not let them have a fair say.

Jack straw is a cock. I like the democracy in this country, he goes from defence secretary to justice secretary and has probably never had any training in either.


And yea it is a BNP basing. everyone vs 1

Putting a man who says exactly what a lot of the public want to hear infront of a load of bleeding heart liberals and against crap politicians. Of course it's a fucking christmans present for them.

Went pretty much as expected tbh
Everyone ganged up on him, although in reality how could it not have gone down like that considering their was no common ground between them really

Griffin and got ripped a new one
Griffin had bugger all to say other than rhetoric, when asked questions directly and given a podium to respond he would just laugh or wobble his head like the churchill dog

I really don't know how sane people can still vote for them with a straight face after this shambles


I don't know why the american lady was there though, she didnt contribute anything of much substance and just talked utter drivvel
The conservative lady was pretty good tho

Nice to see the audience and the panel was made up of anti-bnp people. So muh for a fair and honest BBC....

It really does make me laugh that in the west we scream and shout about civil liberties, free speech, intellectual freedom etc etc but as soon as someone with a (very) different political/social opinion wants freedom of speech its "STFU YOU NAZI!!!" and they try and slap a ban on them putting their point across.

I do not agree with that Griffin bloke, I do not agree with the BNP (actually I am pretty much 100% against them) but I get really freeking furious at the BBC and other organisations when they try and 'protect' the public from them by never granting interviews and stuff...ok this is mainly because I am a great believer in given enough rope they will just hang themselves, but you cannot expect to be taken seriously as a democratic nation if you do not allow everyone to speak freely.

Another example was that dutch bloke who said something about muslims (I know, its always with the muslims) don't know what but he actually got evicted fro the country the first time they he came over (and yet we have gary glitter?) and barely interviewed him when he finally was allowed in so no one actually got to hear what he had to say, which makes people more curious than if they'd just ignored him and let him in with no fuss the first time round. Be interesting to see how many hits on the bnp website as a result of people actually wanting to know more after last nights show.

madness.

Sky+'d it. One sided bullshit. The guy is a **** but whole program was designed to discredit him and his party it was certainly not open debate.

If you are someone who is not that into politics what you watched last night would just seem like bullying so i think it won him more voters than it lost him. And talking about Churchill some of his quote do make him seem like he would not be in any of the big 3. I did not see him get asked one question where he was given time to answer then explain before guy in the middle or the audience went off on one. I do not support the BNP but they should not have got him in there to do they they looked like the animals last night.
