re: #41 BadCollie

I disagree. The BNP are NOT democratic in that only whites are permitted to join.

By giving the odious Griffin a platform on ‘Question Time’, the message being sent is that the BNP are just political party like any other — Griffin’s appearance frames white-supremacism as a normal and acceptable part of British political life. This. Is. Wrong.

My sentiments agree with you. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do myself in a country where the BNP were considered legitimate: I’d be scared more than anything - who else shares their views, or considered voting for them?

The longer the BNP is around, the more the UK is at stake.

I don’t approve of violence and breaking the law. But some political movements are vile and problematic enough that prudent people have to take that option seriously. I don’t think breaking into the BBC is mature at all. But I also think the BBC should be stripped of nearly all its funding for this disgrace, and its defenders should be looked at with as much suspicion and anger as possible, even though the BBC may have legally had to give the BNP that time.
