getting a bit nasty out there.

Yeah got to agree, while I have no time for them and they won't get to power, they have just as much right. Not to mention am I the only one who thinks its going to be a cracking edition of Question Time?

These Protestors, like any other demonstration are made up of nothing but students and people who don't work.

i didn't care about the BNP being on question time until i kept hearing about it on the radio and a couple of papers. If the media just kepy schtum about it i reckon half the people who are outraged wouldn't even know about it.

Not that i'm saying the media shouldn't say anything and have opinions, it just seems in this case they've just given it huge publicity

So that could be any organisation - be it racist or religious. :D
 
I don't see what the fuss is. Let him on Question Time. Ask him nothing but questions on civil liberties, economics, judicial reform, defence, foreign policy, inner city regeneration etc and just watch him crucify himself.

Exactly.

Sadly, I fully expect most of the questions to revolve around race and immigration which he has answered a million times before and knows how to defend against with ease.
 
Our country seems to be filled with these people. To be honest I think that they deserve shooting more than the BNP members. If they want to have a peaceful protest then go ahead but to do it like that just proves that they have more teeth than brain cells.

I always have the overwhelming urge to go and talk to these people and watch as it slowly dawns on them that their opinions and actions are causing more problems than they are solving. Its one of my pet hates; people whos opinions are based on little more than say so and blind ignorance.

You cant be a hippy that lives off the dole and you cant violently demonstrate against the BNP. It doesnt compute.
 
Why is it that all the protesters seem to be white? Don't think I've seen a single person who wasn't white in the videos.

(I'd say wrongly purely on the basis that they are largely an irrelevance in terms of support - if they do it for the BNP then will they do it for all parties with a similar level of support?)

They did get around 1m votes and have two MEPs, pretty sure the Green Party has been on Question Time before too. I think they have enough support and enough legitimacy to be on Question Time. It isn't like it is going to be a regular thing. Unless of course support for the BNP soars, but somehow I doubt it.

I'd still be tempted to call them an irrelevance that gets publicity way beyond their merits but if other parties of a similar size have been or will be on Question Time then there is no real reason why they should not be allowed on the show.
 
That stupid blond on channel 4 is far worse than Nick Griffin.

Stupid **** do you understand what a democracy and freedom of speech is.

And why aren't they arresting some of these protesters under terrorist act. They are trying to change policy by causing fear (Throwing stuff and generally being aggressive louts)

Have you not lived in this country long? There are a lot of people in this country who think that they are protecting the weak and 'doing good' when all they are really doing is creating issues where there are none.

Do you think that it was a load of black people who claimed that resident evil 5 is racist. Nah, that will have been a white person somewhere who thinks that they are fighting against racism. These are the people that if there was actually racial violence would be nowhere to be seen. They go and protest and come home and feel good about themselves and how they have made the world a little better for the downtrodden black man.

Exactly what i was thinking...i mean we live in a democracy dont we??...unless we have become communist in the past few days:p...i mean i dont agree with the BNP myself but surely they should be allowed to air their views...mindboggling really.

Seriously the knob himself will hang himself when asked pertinent questions....ill be watching it myself to see how he tackles the important questions of course.

LOL@ the scenes in the BBC...police dragging these muppets out whilst being screamed at...
