[kj] OT: BNP on Question Time

[Rob Horan]

yes Griffin must have wondered whether he should have gone on or not as
he was inevitably going to be shown up - it also exposed his lack of
political skills...hopefully it may reduce the numbskull votes he gets
these days.....one of his supporters raised the most valid point of the
evening to Jack Straw, asking him did he not agree that the Labour
Party's lack of immigration policy is contributing to BNP voting....
 
Bonni Greer was in complete control and he was no match for her......

I wasn't going to watch, 'cos I figured it would be tedious, but then
did.... and it was a hoot.  Griffin is obviously intelligent (in a
rather narrow way), but he mostly looked like a complete prick.  If
politics was always so entertaining, people would be way more engaged
with it.
 
Top moments:
 
1. Griffin trying to weasel his way out of talking about denying the
holocaust because "British law prevents me from explaining why I changed
my mind".  That alone was pretty funny (and lame), but then Jack Straw
said that he was justice minister, and would guarantee that Griffin
wouldn't face prosecution.  So Griffin tried to say that French and
German courts would have him for it, and Straw pointed out that they
(the British courts) had refused extradition requests for this in the
past.  So Griffin then had to explain how British radio intercepts had
convinced him.... which was about as lame as could be.
 
2. Griffin saying that David Duke was a member of "a non-violent Klan".
Cue laughter all round.
 
3. Griffin explaining how he had had to say extreme things to his party
in order to convert them into the nice cuddly BNP that now exists.  I'm
paraphrasing; the original was funnier and more damning.
 
4. Pretty much everything Bonnie Greer said.  She was the only panellist
who looked wholly at ease (IMHO) and she wiped the floor with NG every
time she opened her mouth.  Whereas the others treated him quite
aggressively (albeit politely), she was totally friendly but utterly
disdainful and almost amused by what a fool he was.  I thought that that
was way more effective.
 
Griffin also looked very nervous, which was funny.  I guess it's a bit
different having some smart people to debate with... compared to what
he's used to.
 
A bad day for the BNP, I'd say.

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?
