I felt for Nick last night ....... or anyone else who would have to suffer that 'bear-pit' of abuse. The fact he has broader shoulders than most is credit to him, because had it been anyone else on the end of the abhorrent personal rants against him, they'd have flipped, burst into tears or simply walked out. It wasn't Question Time or topical debate, because 'they' simply couldn't risk it. Of the other panelists only Bonnie Greer came out of it with any credibility, and the 'banter' bordering on humour between her and Nick being the only redeeming feature of the night ...... oh and the fury of bank robber/letter bomb sender Peter Hain that he was on in the first place (snigger) As for the Anti-fascist (a misnomer if ever there was one) 'rabble' outside BBC Centre ...... well a mixture of truly vile specimens, the usual Commie suspects who are 'silent' on Islamic Millitant issues, plus the odd stone island jumper thrown in  ...... its just a pity the OB didn't use their truncheons with the same ferocity that they do policing football. We havn't heard the end of this saga ....... 
I didn't feel for him at all. He knew exactly what he was getting into and to be honest I don't think he performed that badly given the circumstances. Ie; the audience was hand picked. The fact is (and I don't vote BNP), that SOME of the policy's of the BNP very much appeal to the common man. It's just that we are not allowd to show it coz automatically we are all fully paid up members of the NF. I notice that one more than one occasion the audience started to clap one of Nicks responses then realised they were not supposed to support anything this man said and the applause became muted. Shamefull really. As for Jack Straw, why did nobody boo him (or heckle him) when he came out with the obvious BULLSHIT about people not having any faith in the Labour immigration policy. |

Boo-hoo. My heart bleeds for him. Are we supposed to feel sorry for a KKK-lovin', holocaust denying twit like Griffin? I'm no leftie, but the BNP love playing the 'victim'. I think the other panel members did a poor job of challenging him on policy. It was too much of a bear pit - from what I saw his policies sounded about as sensible as those of Screaming Lord Sutch (RIP). |

Possibly quite right. but why did non of the other members get as much stick? Jack Straw saying that he didn't believe people had no faith in Labour Immigration policy, was as ridiculous as Nick Griffin saying that the haulocaust never happened. Both statements were absolute bollox, but Jck Straw got away with his (pretty much). Why did no-one ask Jack Straw why the hi-jackers (that he promised would be deported)are still in this country ? |

I dunno - UK immigration policy over the last decade or denying the extermination of 6 million Jews? As political lies go, the genocide issue trumps the political point-scoring over a poorly administered immigration system.
A ballsy BBC decision would have been to hold QT in Stoke or Burnley. I don't think last night's programme proved much as it was held in West London with a naturally hostile audience.
It would have been more meaningful had Griffin been effectively challenged in front of an audience of people (say) whose jobs have vanished overseas and find their communities facing rapid demographic changes without well-planned public service responses (eg competition for housing, doctors, schools etc).

Good points raised there, but as I said, they were never going to allow a 'sensible' debate on current issues, in case he gave answers that 'some' of the viewing public would nod in agreement to. I agree with barra in that I'm not comfortable with Nick playing the 'victim' role yesterday. Enough liberals out there are emphasising with him already, without the 'poor me' response. Btw: The look of 'guilt' on Jack Straw's face when challenged over the death's of 800,000 Iraqi citizens was priceless! |

the hand picked audience is always the same on question time although the one the other night did have more a more ethnic audience than usual and it was a bear pit...however, he did know what he was getting in to but it just seemed abit of a sham from all angles, helped the ratings, probably raised the profile of the BNP in certain areas but also made him look a div
