This was not a debate and quite frankly a farce. If you are going to get someone like the BNP on, and let's face it we know what their policies on immigration et al are all about, we should be hearing if they have anything credible to say about other issues. It is only by pressing them on other issues that the public will see they are onetrick ponies.
A shot in the foot by the BBC.

They should have asked about the strikes. Certainly. The Immigration question was more an attack on Straw than the BNP, it was only after when he was questioned some members of the audience about ethnicity that it went back to the Griffin squirm show. The problem is that he is not often, if ever, in a format where his views are challenged and he has too answer it rather than deflect or blame political correctness for any opposition.
It was clear last night that he is a racist, and a nasty piece of work. I would have liked them not to ask about Churchill and instead the Black Solider who won the Victoria Cross(?) whom the BNP accused of being a beneficiary of a PC-State. That they only gave him the award because he was black.
He also didn't answer why one of the senior figures in the BNP though Churchill was a traitor for fighting the Nazi's.
I mean people have a point about freedom and speech. I certainly agree. I am getting tired of the BNP saying things like they did last night, chumming it up with the KKK, wishing a ethnically white Britain and people are more concerned that the BNP got a 'hard time'.
