I watched Question Time and was fairly pleased with what I saw, although I still believe that he should not have been invited.
The only way to expose Nick Griffin's views was to confront him, which was what happened.
He tried to imply that his party is not what we think it is by splitting hairs and evading the question.
He tried to deny being a holocaust denier, then tried to deny that he was denying being a holocaust denier and ended up looking shifty and foolish.
He denies being a nazi and a racist by making up his own definition of those words. Make no mistake, by the definitions in my dictionary, he is both.
He was not too happy as he wanted to be treated as a normal politician, which as a racist and a fascist, he is not. He claims that he was subjected to a lynch mob.
I find this very offensive. If he wants to know what a lynch mob is I suggest that he asks his friends in the Ku Klux Klan.

You will probably all see that the BNP is running a concerted 'letter writing' campaign complaining about Griffin's 'treatment'on QT. Yes, he was subjected to scrutiny about BNP policies. Yes, he was unable to answer a direct question. Yes, he contradicted himself in a clear effort to lie. No, he wasn't shouted down. Most decent people, however, are repulsed by the BNP and Griffin saw at first hand that revulsion. I hope that he continues to see it 24/7.
