Yes, but as I said, now he's shown millions he ain't 'concerned with skin colour at all' what kind of voter's he gonna attract now?

I feel some 'BNP activists' will be disgusted by that.

There's already dissent I believe. He's already a 'sell out' to some.

Could be the start of the end IMO.

Disagree. These days even the most idiotic fascist understands the need for media savvy. We all know Griffin runs a racist party. People whose political beliefs are shaped by their racism know this too and are unlikely to defect to the LibDems because their leader exercises discretion on national TV. The BNP have the racist vote locked-in already. The danger is when they start appealing to a broader audience, and acting like a moderate on telly is a great way of doing that.

Griffin has given speeches in which he told his followers that they had to tone down the racism "in public". They understand the game he's playing. I only hope everyone else does.

I didn't see him as a moderate. I saw him as 'lost'.
If what you are saying is to be held, then his appearance actually makes no difference anyway.
The curious would have found nothing to perk their interests, and the faithful will let him sing 'the world's a bil ole melting pot' and it'll make no great shakes either, being in on the scam.
Honestly each and ever one of us have the power to elect this lot right now if we so choose (the real scary bit) and we're flapping about Question bloody Time!!
Anyway, maybe the BBC can't be arsed with the liability of it all for the future.
