Hey

just wpndered if anyone was watching and what they thought? should the BBC have allowed Nick Griffin on? what were your opinions?

Hi, yeah I am! Thought it got off to a good start with everyone making NG look a bit of a twat (he is!!!) but I must admit he has got a couple of errrm 'part political' adverts in....

It is wonderful how at the beginning of the prog a group of intelligent educated people showed NG up to be the racist and fascist he is.

As for letting him on the show, well, I would rather he didn't exist actually, but he does. Here's what I don't understand - he can be an MEP - clearly legal, yet gov doesn't want him on the tv? (nor do I incidentally but I soooooo believe in free speech!) I think the gov needs to make up it's mind - is BNP legal or not? As NG has a seat on European parliament I don't really think he can be banned from the BBC. I am uncomfortable with censorship and I am uncomfortable with a fascist on QT so I just don't know!

I've Sky+'d it to watch tomorrow when DD is in nursery, so I can scream obscenities at the TV with impunity!

thought the body language of the british museum lady was very telling. She had her back half turned to him the whole time, even when she was talking to him she wouldn't look at him, she just looked repulsed. Don't blame her I think I'd feel the same. I do think it was a clever choice of panel to outwit him and make him look bad. But that for people already teetering on the brink of voting BNP he may have won some over if they're already that way inclined.

I think the nation's reaction to the whole thing is something we should all be proud of tho. That there was such outrage just about him going on one programme.

all day yesterday people were going on about free speech and free choice...

he doesn't beleive in free choice or free speech... he beleives in that for white people....
I find him repulsive and have no interest in what he has to say, I used my free choice to not watch him.

I didn't watch it - it was plain to see what sort of things he was saying through friends' statuses on FB. How sad is that? I personally can't believe the amount of hype and publicity he's gained through this, mostly due to the BBC going on and on about it. I made a conscious decision not to watch it, because I knew he'd make me angry. I don't agree with anything he says, so he certainly isn't going to get more than the 2 minutes of my time it's taken to write this!

Gutted, I fell asleep before it started!!
