Apparently, Nick Griffin has been invited to go on Question Time, and this has caused our English friends some grief.
I find the man loathesome and am appalled by everything he stands for. That he has been invited on this august British program shows that democracy is alive and kicking. Let's not forget that he is an elected member of the European Parliament, just because we find his views distasteful, does not mean that he should be should be denied a forum in which to state them. Quite to the contrary, we should be proud that we live in a country mature enough not to stifle free speech. At makes a nice contrast to the Britain envisioned by Griffin and his thugs, freedom of speech is unlikely to be high on their list of priorities.
The B.N.P. is full of ignorant, bigoted, oafs. The more coverage they are given the more of a chance they will get to demonstrate this, and many of those who voted for them will come to this conclusion. It also doesn't allow them to complain of discrimination by the media.
You know what they say. Give 'em enough rope....
