I thought the same.
I was really worried that Nick Griffin would dodge questions or attempt to refrain the questions. He wasn't able to and really had a bad night. The fact that he was quoted on the show and asked to explain his quotes was good. Especially when he failed, expect on one quotation, to tell the audience which of them were outragious lies. He kept quiet on that. Did not deal with the Holocaust issue well, nor the question on ethnicity.
He got approval for the issue of how some Women are treated in Islam. Other than it he did a lot poorer than expected. It was refresging to see him out of his comfort zone and actualy having to answer questions and explain himself.
His weakest moments were actually when his own quotes and views were said back to him!
I don't agree that it was all against him. Jack Straw got a lot of immigrtion flack.
Obviously the BNP fans will defend him, agreeing with his views etc etc but there was nothing in this performance that would improve peoples views of he BNP.
