[kj] OT: BNP on Question Time

[Peter Moltesen]

I watched it with great interest

I have no problem with the Beeb's decision to allow Nick Griffin on the
panel

Freedom of speech and all that

 

What are people scared of ?

Surely its better to let people like that have their say and let themselves
be shown

in their true light through (hopefully) reasoned debate.

 

I thought that a valid point was made that a significant contributory factor
to the BNP's 

'rise' was the inability of the 'main' political parties to deal with
immigration issues.      

 

I certainly don't think the programme was an early Christmas present to the
BNP

I thought Griffin made himself look like a bit of a tool, in fact. His hand
was shaking 

And he was sweating like a stuck pig for the whole programme. He didn't half

come out with some rubbish  - his 'non violent' KKK mate (eh?????), his
miraculous

'U' turn on holocaust denial (erm, excuse me if I remain not entirely
convinced)

 

I thought Bonnie Greer's approach to Griffin was the best - with humour,
sitting right 

next to him and showing him up like a silly little boy who didn't really
know what he was

talking about.   

 

Hopefully after watching it, those who voted BNP out of frustration (or
ignorance) might 

now think a bit more carefully before the next time

Anybody see this? I saw most of it until the baby started wailing. I hate to
say this, but I can't help feeling that if Nick Griffin wasn't a racist
c*nt, he might actually be a nice guy. 
 
Don't lynch me. My wife's British Indian so trust me, I'm not going soft on
the BNP. I think Jack Straw did a pretty good job and that Moslem Tory was
on fire sometimes. Jeezus I might vote Tory.
 
(I promise I won't try and create any more political threads after this).
 
Do UK Gatherers feel inclined to vote BNP now you've been exposed to the BNP
in a mainstream acceptable setting like QT?
