I can see the same thing happening in my house.

I'll be thinking of you for those 5 minutes

I predict that the viewing figures will be higher tonight than for any Question Time show previously.

I think that a very narrow set of this party's views / proposals will be focused on, and I would not be surprised to see the discusion become mired in their legal problems with their membership requirements or devolve into shouts of 'racist!' from the audience.

****'s and giggles I will be watching it for.

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.

Couldn't agree more Tim, I can't believe the hypocrisy of these demonstrators trying to stop a legally elected person from peacefully expressing themselves or travelling to this county, just because they disagree with their views. Do they not realise that democracy and freedom of speech work both ways, not just to let them say what they want?

Now I am extremely anti-BNP, but I believe they have a right to join in on political debates now that they have been elected, I just hope that people will realise how stupid and racist their policies are and therefore put off more people from voting for them.

Does anyone here really think that if the BNP get to put their message accross to everyone in the UK that they will win the general election and we will become the next Nazis?! I can't see that happening I'm afraid.

He has a legitimate right to be there and the BBC was right to say "no" to Peter Hain's request to ban him. If the Govt want him banned, like the govt of the day did to Gerry Adams et al, then they should legislate accordingly rather than put pressure on the nation's state-funded public sector broadcaster.

Mainstream politicians tell us that the British electorate is sophisticated and will see through phoney politicians and policies. I'm sure that this will be the case here.

Let's hear what he has to say and judge for ourselves.
