The BNP are Nazis. Griffin is a holocaust denier and admirer of Hitler and the SS. If they were in power there would be no debates on television, there would be no BBC, there would be no dissent. We would probablty all be in prison or dead.

Why on earth should a public service give any airtime to this filth? They should report it when they make the news obviously, I'm not asking for Thatcher's restrictions on Sinn Fein. But to give them a place on a discussion panel? With normal politicians, who i may not like but they're unlikely to encourage their followers to kick my head in for not liking them? Fuck no. It's a fucking disgusting decidion but, hey, the ratings will go up. No politician should have agreed to appear with him and shame on all the other guests. I won't be watching him. Cunt.

sorry Ronnie - sounds like I was lecturing you! Not really in response to anyone in particular - just what i think.

The other nazi scumbag which should have no airtime (actually, he's a lot worse than Griffin), is arch-hateful bastard himself- Louis Farrakhan

God help anyone who is either non-muslim, homosexual, white, pagan, jewish, christian or combinations thereof etc.

A real threat to the whole world!

No probs, Moje. I think we both want the same thing (the BNP to diminish in influence, they or their equivalent will never disappear altogether, sadly), we just disagree over whether this will contribute to it or not.

I completely agree Mojo. I am perfectly happy with denying free speech to fascists who believe that one race is inherently, genetically, morally superior to another and who would enforce sanctions and enslave other races, in the name of white power. The BBC should have a corresponding duty to protect the people who would be victims of BNP white power policies which would outweigh any free speech argument. Hate-speech isn't 'free' if it results in race violence and the end of Griffin's argument is the gas chambers.

It is a disgrace that the BBC have done this to satisfy their journaistic egos and the 'obligations' of the charter etc. Fuck the charter. Griffin won't say anything remotely controversial about race on Thursday night.

He will definitely talk about who can't afford their heating bills, the deaths of soldiers in Afgahnistan/Iraq, the terrible state of the NHS, the MPs expenses scandals. He will be searching for cheers and will probably get them. His aim is to make people go away thinking 'he isn't so different to us'. It is arrogance of journalists to think they will expose him once and for all. BBC needed some courage here but they've shown themselves to be pieces of cowardly shit.
