The BNP do represent a small amount of the UK but I was under the impression that the audience (as when I was in it) reflects the make up of the panel, not the country. I had to fill in a questionairre before I was selected for the show.
Unless things radically change I can't this show being productive at all. The people who hate the BNP will hate them more and the people that defend the BNP will just entrench their positions.
A valuable opportunity IMO.

Well this has been a long spell now where Griffin has not had to say much. It's mostly calling the Labour Immigration policy failed.
It's been a success in that it's the first time Nick Griffin has been questioned about his views and history in a real enviroment where he doesn't have fellow racists cheering him or weak news presenters allowing him to run down the clock.
It should hopefully show that he really is the person people say he is.

Admin or not I'd get a lifetime ban from Cable Forum due to the language used if I was to post what I really think about that slimey piece of 'spit'

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
I did read somewhere (Grauniad?) that Griffin did debate Oxford University students and one of the student's was grudgingly impressed. I think that would be more interested.

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
Did I just hear Griffin say "skin colour is irrelevant"?!
Seriously, what a stupid, ignorant and evil *insert choice of 4 letter word here*.

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
Typical bbc not as impartial as they try to make out.
Starting to think Griffin is not that bad really.

Absolutely. But hearing it from Griffin's mouth is just laughable.

So basically you'll hate him regardless.
Its opinions like that that make a mockery of a serious debate.

Making one's mind up about a person's opinion on one statement certainly does make a mockery of a debate. Kettle/pot/black.
I don't hate anyone - but all the rubbish and back-peddaling he's come out with tonight frankly makes his performance tonight laughable. Claming "skin colour is irrelevant" is a noble action except when your political career has been based on racism.

why ,maybe he's seen the error of his ways and if he was asked questions petaining to modern britain i.e how do you feel about the labour government allowing 1000's of immigrants into a country that can't possibly support them ,then maybe he would be allowed to give a coherant answer

He's made a career out of policies based on race. If he really has 'changed his mind' then I expct to see radical changes in their ideals and a complete and unopposed change in their policy on accepting non-whites to their ranks. I expect to see senior members of the BNP to be all kinds of colours too.
Not sure how long I should wait for it though.

Serious debate? When has question time ever been a serious debate? It's just cheap point scoring.
Arguing about who's side dead people would be on is not a productive debate.

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
Well a bit disappointing, but its a start.
At least there wasn't protests from the audience and he was allowed to speak mostly. That went better that I thought.
