Absolutely and tonight was far, far worse than ever, what a complete let down and I actually think Nicky boy came out of it quite well, ok he was clearly a nervous wreck making his big time tv debut (sure they'll hope it was nerves because if not he is hopeless, I could have answered his holocaust and KKK questions better) and made himself look very foolish a couple of times but on the whole I bet they are grateful the political lightweights that made up the rest of the panel were so desperate to prove they were anti racist by scoring cheap points they didn't bother to go after the BNP organisation and it's policies. I wonder why it was when the subject of civil partnership came up the conservative Muslim lady wasn't questioned? Bullying has never gone down well in this country and I can see the BNP getting an upsurge of support over the next couple of weeks, similar to the conference bounce mainstream parties used to get before the expences fiasco.
One last thing, I heard Nicky getting interviewed after the programme and he was asked if he shook everyones hand as per show protocol, he said why would I want to shake Jack Straw's hand its got blood all over it, shame he never said that during Question Time imo.
