Everyone is entitled to change their mind about views and opinions that they had in the past, but you need to have good arguments for doing so.
Personally I think he could have been given a much harder ride to account his and his party's view. For example the views on disability that Rizzyking put forward in a previous post. The panel, given the short period of time they had, were focussing on his views regarding immigration and race, but they could have gone to task with other BNP policies which perhaps a lot of the audience are not aware off.
I don't think Griffin or the BNP benefited from his appearance yesterday, its a shame it wasn't a longer show, maybe with Paxman or Andrew Marr presenting it.

I fully agree. Even when given his "get out of jail free card," he still refused to answer the question about changing his mind. Which really begs the question, has he actually changed his mind (don't worry I am under no illusions as to whether he really has or not)?
