Actually what the hell was she doing on the show? She's not a politician, she's a historian.
Nick Griffin on Question Time Page 22

That you think the media are left-leaning shows that you are right wing. Griffin did the same thing with his 'ultra-leftist' comment last night. It only looks that far left if you are starting way over to the right.
It's been shown several times that the BBC tend to be very slightly biased against the party in power, whoever they are. Hence both the Tories and now Labour complaining about them.
I do agree that they should have kept it to the normal style though, I think Dimbleby did a fairly poor job last night, he was too obviously biased against Griffin - fair enough but usually he'd mkae the point that questions should be directed to the whole panel, not individuals. Griffin should have been treated exactly the same as any other guest who has been on QT. He's perfectly capable of making an arse of himelf without anyone else's help.

She's a damn sight smarter than a lot of the duffers they've had on there over the years. And I thought it was Question Time's one intelligent move, making Griffin sit next to an articulate black woman. Her treatment of him seemed far more effective than the Dudly Do Gooders in the audience.

A playwright, I think, and general rent-a-gob. But non-politicians are often on Question Time, and usually make the best guests (something of a damning indictment on party politics in this country).
How about celebrity wrestling with; George Galloway, Nick Griffin and Gentle Ben?
I bet Nick Griffin was really handsome when he was young.
A little bit phwoor, shades of Hugh Grant and Morrisey.

Perhaps that's why he's not online as much anymore? He's working behind the scenes on the BNP's 2010 general election strategy.
There's been lots of debate here – but can anyone suggest at what point you do try to stop them? What's the line they have to cross?
He's denied the holocaust (because the Nazis have such a bad press these days), his media Chief has called Winston Churchill a 'c**t' for not fighting alongside the Nazis, and he wants to repatriate non-whites of however many generation and regardless of mixed heritage. All words so far – although you can argue it raises tensions in the community and can/ is / will cause racial attacks? So…at what point do we stop complaining about people fighting to keep him out of Broadcasting House? When do we stop talking about his right to hate? Isn't fighting fascist the most apt way to remember the fallen of WW2?

Look, the bottom line is he was elected to the European parliament. And, unfortunately, an awful lot of people share his views. Trying to censor him just turns him into a martyr. let him speak and show the world what a tool he is.
And I always think it amusing that the anti-facists outside never raise a peep about the likes of Muslim extremists, who hold just as distasteful views as Griffin and his moronic cronies.

What do you mean by try to stop them?
Ask me again when some fascist kicks the shit out of you in the street.
So you have no answer now then?
