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.

Well put. He'll either do as you say and talk about uncontroversial stuff, or be shouted down, argued against, made to look a fool, in which case he can whine about a hand-picked audience chosen by the Marxist BBC blah blah blah...poor little Nazis...we're the victims etc etc etc

According to Today there is a clock on the BNP website counting down to tonight. This has done nothing but make them feel good. They were full of internal fighting in the last two years, many wanted Griffin gone and now he's done what he said he would - got them into establishment politics, all with the help of the BBC. Well done. If I was a Nazi this would be a proud day for me.

Maybe this is a red herring but the BBC is funded by taxes, and long may that remain the case, but so is my job. if I was found to be using the public library photocopier to produce BNP newsletters don't you think I should have action taken against me? I certainly do. I'm not saying that action should be taken against anyone, just that public funds should not be used to peddle race hate.
