So then, this Griffin muppet...

[Viney]

...is going to be on Question Time tonight.

Tune in or turn off?

I'm quite interested as I have never heard him speak and he is meant to be a clever bloke, and there lies the problem (if indeed you percieve it to be as obviously many don't) as he is more this



Than this



I wonder what is inside? I think he might be too smart to ever let us know, like all the politicians.

i am out but will record it and watch it at weekend.

im hoping he'll be torn to shreads, but for me the worry is such a vehicle for him may result in him getting more followers and more voters.

but, its a democracy we live in, so he's entitled to air his views however abhorrent they appear to be...

As keith said, no time for his views but we can't dictate who has the right of freedom of speech and who doesn't

Will be interesting to see how it turns out





Oh, and while I'm here...

Griffin used to be a complete nazi, who wrote anti-jewish pamphlets and was a leader of the National Front. He's now trying to convince us that he's changed, but I don't buy it. He's clever enough to realise that toning down the extreme far right policies and wearing suits is going to help appeal to voters, but the ultimate aim of the BNP leadership is still to kick all non-white people out of the country.

me always watch it anyway- but will view with more interest tonight-- dont agree with everything he stands for but then I will defend the right for him to have his views in this democracy we live in

or shall we all go live in China?

will watch it for sh*ts and giggles really.

IMO i agree with some of the BNP's policies. I said SOme people not all.

If its bear baiting the BBC want, will the show be co-hosted by jeremy kyle?

I can't think of a person who could deserve it more that is currently alive.

I might tune in for 5 minutes, boo at the TV, laugh at the booing, then I'll stop before I get too angry at a guy who is, at heart, incredibly racist and facist.

The BNP is a recognised Political Party with elected members in all levels of government.

Therefore it is only right and proper that he is on Question Time.

I'm just hoping that the mask slips...

I respect his rights to be there, to enter into open debate. It is only by listening to what he says, challenging his argument that people will know his policies for what they really are.

My honest opinion, anti nazi protests etc. Do themselves no favours. Violently disrupting and shouting down legal protests, banning legitimate visits by European politicians etc play into the hands of the far right. Who are the dictators then? The ones who want to debate a subject? Or those who use violence and political oppression just because they don't like someone's views.

Maybe if something was done to help the poor white underclass, their perceived views could be changed. The nazis rose from post WW1 poverty/unemployment. It could so easily happen here
