Nick Griffin, leader of the fascist BNP, will appear on Question Time this Thursday.
Some people think that as a democratically elected MEP he should be held to account in the same way as any other elected politician.
However, I don't believe that society should give a platform to racist fascists. A show such as Question Time will not allow time for taking anyone to task & will just give him time to air some well rehearsed sound bites.
The broadcast is likely to feature disruption from supporters & opposition to the BNP which will give Griffin an excuse to bang on about democracy.
Whatever he may say the BNP constitution bans membership from anyone who is not white, opposes any kind of integration or anti discrimination legislation & campaigns for the removal of non white people from our country.
Sadly, the BBC's decision is unlikely to change & therefore I will be watching as I will feel a need to know what he says in order to better counter his arguments.
Others will not be able to watch for fear of having to destroy their TV.
Whatever the result of the debate, PCS will oppose all racists and fascists. It is our policy that no one can serve the public as a civil servant with the necessary impartiality if they hold those views & therefore membership of the BNP should bar someone from working for the civil service.
Join the campaign.
