Question Time with Smirky Nick Griffin
I stayed up last night so I could watch the BBC's Question Time with panelists Jack Straw (Labour), playwright Bonnie Greer, Nick Griffin (BNP), Baroness Sayeed Warsi (Conservative), Chris Huhne (LibDem). Around the same time it was morning in the UK, and many had begun the day tweeting about Nick Griffin's controversial appearance. In fact, "Nick Griffin" was second in Trending Topics. For those who are unaware of the insidious group called the British National Party - they are a fascist lot who seek a return to a 'true' Britain free of nonwhites.
This was me as I watched the entire thing.
sweetparkalife: Word RT @PaulLomax The BBC won't let you say the "C" word - but they'll proudly stick one on full view for an hour on Question Time. #bbcqt
sweetparkalife: Watching Question Time with the slimy Nick Griffin on YouTube. Too bad the comments posted are incredibly foul and racist.
sweetparkalife: When asked about how he could have said the Holocaust didn't happen, Griffin said he can't explain why. Crowd lets out a sound of disgust.
sweetparkalife: I really, really want to shove Griffin's smirking face into that table.
sweetparkalife: Thank goodness for Bonnie Greer. She is a sane angel amongst a panel of politicians.
sweetparkalife: Ugh. Jack Straw fails at giving a concise answer. He's convoluted and can't follow his own train of thought on the immigration question.
sweetparkalife: Thank you, Baroness Warsi. The immigration debate should be framed in terms of resources and not race.
sweetparkalife: Hah! Panel got schooled - it's African-Caribbean, [not Afro-Carribean] thank you very much.
sweetparkalife: Nick Griffin: We are the Aborigines here. He also called the misguided immigration policies as 'genocide' against the native British.
sweetparkalife: I really want Jack Straw to shut up, he's not doing Labour any favours #bbcqt
sweetparkalife: What's this about militant homosexuals? What kind of world does Nick Griffin live in? #bbcqt
sweetparkalife: Hahah! The BBC is an ultra-left establishment that hates the English! Nick Griffin, unintended comedian.
sweetparkalife: Phew, it's over. I got to say, it was entertaining to see Nick Griffin ripped apart by the panelists. To those who say that isn't fair...
sweetparkalife: ... Nick Griffin is a hatemongerer who deals in fear to gain votes and power. His sort should never be allowed any respectability.
sweetparkalife: LOL! RT @winterlight: Same-sex kissing flashmob outside Nick Griffin's house, 31st October. Who's in? #bbcqt
sweetparkalife: I should really stop reading the comments left by BNP-sympathisers on the BBCQT articles.They're all convinced true Brits will die out soon.
sweetparkalife: One commentator on the Times site called Jack Straw & Bonnie Greer a racist for denying the existence of the white British race. FAIL.
One thing Griffin said that I hadn't tweeted: that David Duke came from a KKK that's non-violent. He had the nerve to say that whilst sitting beside an African-American (Bonnie Greer). The man is clearly delusional, but has his appearance on Question Time lent him an air of legitimacy? The press articles seem to suggest so, picking up on the many across the country who voiced their support.
The BBC's own Have Your Say QT forum became filled with pro-Nick Griffin comments. And most of the 400 callers who called the BBC on QT complained Griffin was being 'ambushed'. Griffin himself is to lodge a formal complaint against the corporation for how his appearance was handled and requests to be filmed outside of London -- a city he claims is 'ethnically cleansed'. If Nick Griffin does appear on QT a second time, I fear it will tip a large segment of the population who are frustrated with the three major parties into considering voting BNP. Not because of they agree with crazy things Griffin says, but because they will now view him as a legitimate option to voice their anger.
