I don't think misrepresenting the BNP is going to do anyone any good. After the debarcle that was Question Time even staunch anti-BNP supporters are coming out saying how it was rigged against the BNP.

Well.
Alleged anti-BNP supporters. There is a trend of BNP supporters and sympathisers claiming to be non-BNP supporters and being 'turned' by Question Time. In fact the same stuff happened after the Guardian did a hidden reporter story, and the same when the BBC did it.
Whenever the BNP has negative press there is a groundswell of 'support' from 'independent' voters. I think at least some of this is existing BNP voters trying to get a boot in.
I honestly do not know what people are complaining about. Did they really want the BNP not to be questions on the aspects of racism rife in the party and Nick Griffin's own history? Instead being asked questions as if it were any other Question Time?
I didn't see people complaining at the editions of QT where the expenses scandel dominated the agenda. Labour got pretty much the same treatment as Nick Griffin did! Jeering, Booing, People shouting things out. Even though it was not limited to Labour.
Incidentally I do not see where they were misrepresented? All the quotes were from Nick Griffin's own mouth. He refused to deny any individual quote apart from "Hitler went a bit too far". It seems he was presented with his own words, his own past, and his own policies and think it was bullying to be confronted with them.
