    Anyone see Question Time?

    imho Nick Griffin came across as the tosser that he is.

    I agree.  He came across as a pathetic tin foil hat wearer.  The panel was a lot stronger challenging him than I thought they would be.  Especially Bonnie Greer, she totally took the piss out of him.

    The only worry is any publicity is good publicity and there may be many tin-foil-hat-wearers out there that are now more aware of him and will vote for him.

    I'm a little concerned over what a friend wrote as his FB status:

    "BNP...to think, all it takes is common sense to defeat such a party! next thing on the agenda...evolutionists!! Tongue"

     Shocked

    Hassan, I think its more likely that the tin foil hat wearers were already supporters of the BNP or some other fringe party, and the people who were using the BNP as a protest vote at the last Euro elections will now regret having voted for such a weasel.

    Tell him to bring it on.  Evolutionists have evidence, not like Griffin and his weasel words.

    Blah, Griffin came across as a douche and made a complete knob of himself.

    There's nothing much you can say about him really is there, waste of time watching the programe, it was pathetic, he couldn't even stand by his own words.
    Actualy he's not even worth discussing.

    If you're in the UK you can watch it on BBC iplayer.  It'll be up on You Tube soon enough too, I expect.

    I was surprised at how unprepared he seemed to be. The others acted like complete bullies tho, and 'Baro-fucking-net' Farsi, stupid cow. Her implication seemed to be  (as the most 'high profile muslim in the uk') that Islam doesnt have a problem with homosexuality. Right, ok.

     I don't like Griffin or the BNP, but I also abhor those hypocritical, spineless motherfuckers that make up the mainstream politics and how they jump at an oppo to sounds as disgusted as the public actually are with them. Puffing out their chests in indignation like they haven't been scamming  and lying to the eloctorate for decades and draggimg us into wars that cost far more lives than a bunch of racist yobs could ever dream of. They're not fooling anyone, the BNP are not the problem with this country, just an insignificant pantomime.

    Ha Ha.

    "According to my Publicity Calculator that estimates the net economic worth of free publicity - we have in the last 24 hours had about a Billion pounds worth of free publicity.

    The 4 hours of constant BBC News 24 footage was superb.

    Four hours of the SWP, UAF and students milling around a London streets shouting a lot.

    Brilliant.

    Not only was it inane - it was free publicity.

    Thanks for that.

    Hopefully next week they will spend four hours filming another group of students shouting ?BNP? for four hours.

    No doubt we shall see a few police officers attacked after dark by the SWP and AFA, so the publicity will continue until Saturday at least.

    That should take it to about ?. 2 billion in free publicity.

    Brand ?BNP? has just been imbedded in the consciousness of the masses.

    Thanks!"

    It's the incompetence of the mainstream political parties that gives a platform to BNP. Their appeal lies simply in their willingness to talk about issues that some people are concerned about, issues which are never raised by the mainstream politicians.

     Wrong audience.They must of spent several weeks vetting them to make sure they stayed on message.If the audience had represented more of a cross section of Briitsh society I am sure the debate would have been different.Whilst I am no fan of Griffin I do believe he serves a purpose in that he forces mainstream politicans to actually talk about immigration.In the past anyone bringing up this subject has been dismissed as a racist.Immigration does need a full debate as its the real driving force behind organisations such as the EDL.

     Whilst Griffin didn't exactly cover himself in glory Warsi was dire,completely out of her depth and speaking in sound bites.
