Of course we need to know if he is friendly with the KKK! He is an elected representative in the European Parliament, a leader of a party with aspirations to get members into the British Parliament. Going to meet the KKK and being friendly with it's leader is important.

Not really, if I met\spoke to a militant and then I have a position of "power" what I said\did doesnt matter as long as I dont reflect the feelings of that other person\party, JMO obviously.

They always have someone from the world of culture on the show. This time the politicians were overrepresented as it's usually 3 politicians and 2 from the world of culture/sport/business/religion/other social organisation. She was the best on the show so I am glad she was on.

He was poorly prepared for the show & as were his explanations.

Freedom of Speech does not equate to a free platform. I have freedom speech but couldn't be on Question Time because of my insignificance and lack of interesting things to say.

We all have the right to to freedom of speech & a free platform, as us mere mortals are insignificant your right QT is out of the question but speakers corner isnt, also 900,000 people that voted for the BNP want him as their mouth piece
