Question Time/Thursday night (obviously!)

I think Griffin made a complete tit of himself, but I doubt any racists and homophobes would see that. I imagine that both anti-Fascists and Fascists would see their views justified.

What is really despicable is the way he smirked when he tried to justify not justifying his views on the Holocaust. Frankly well is that any better than digging up someone's grave and hiding or violating the body? I'm insulted and frankly if I had family who died in the Holocaust I'd want his head on a pike. However, unfortunately I doubt that every one watching or in the audience would see that . Some people do not see between the lines and many BNP voters/members would not have seen the broadcast (or not cared) and seen a respectable looking (hah!) man in a suit being publicly vilified.

No I don't think the BBC was biased, in fact people from UAF etc who applied to go on were not let on, leaving mostly young people or of sections of society who would be targeted by the BNP but unlikely to be experienced activists or orators to challenge Griffin.

Unfortunately the BNP would ultimately have the upper hand in these kinds of debates, simply as soon as the words 'immigration' and 'muslims' were mentioned, ringing the right bells in those susceptible. The point being the BNP should not be seen to have a monopoly on these issues and it was a shame that the BBC and the politicians present were not allowed to defend allegations that they are "pandering to the Left"....if only they would, maybe we'd have some reasoned debate in this country for once!
