Nick Griffin on Question Time
I didn't see the full show, but they were showing all the highlights on GMTV this morning. It raises some interesting questions. Did the BBC really do him a favor by letting him appear, and (inevitably) get stampeded and ridiculed by the audience and guests? Maybe they have: He can now claim (with some justification) to be "Poor Nick Griffin", victim of evil leftist PC bullies who are determined not to give him a fair hearing.
(P.S. As this is a somewhat US-dominated group, I should probably explain that Nick Griffin is a British far-right politician, who many people claim is a racist and a neo-Nazi, and that Question Time is a topical debate show on the BBC which typically features leading politicians. A lot of people think that by allowing Griffin to appear on the show, the BBC has given him a lot of credibility that he doesn't deserve.)
