Would like to hear more from the playwright lass, she seems to have Griffin wrapped up. Some past history there I think. He succumbs to her every time
because they're both playing the game, she knows the turn out and how to perform with him in this format whereas jack straw is foaming at the mouth with indignation and it doesnt come across well. dissapointed as I thought Straw would have been the one on the panel to take him on but he's looked a total arse. Btw, get me some scissors I want to rid Dimbleby of that fkin tie Geo Jack Straw's problem was that he seemed to feel it was his responsibility to take him on and he had a nightmare. The person with the most potential to damage the BNP tonight was Nick Griffin. All he needs is a platform to show how confused, contrary and foolish his thinking has become and the credibility of his party is damaged. Instead the rest of the panel and Dimbleby behaved in an unneccessarily hostile, borderline rude manner and Nick Griffin didn't come out of it all that badly. His politics might be shameful to most of us but in a democracy he has every right to appear on Question Time and be treated as an equal, tonight he wasn't. not so sure about being an equal but agree the mob handedness made me uncomfortable. edit: (You'd think I'd be used to it being on this forum) Geo |

After the comment about Straw's father the only way he could have made a comeback was if he'd called up his german counterpart during QT and put him on loudspeaker to confirm Griffin wouldn't be prosecuted and got him to properly explain his holocaust comments.

Amazingly enough I've been in a pub in Camden all night - after the football finished then switched the TV over to Question Time.
Griffen did seem to be a bit overly het-up about things a lot but I though the other political guests really failed to land any significant blows on him. Only Bonnie Greer really came across well.
But OMFG Dimbleby's tie.

The only thing he did during QT was confirm himself as a racist, holocaust-denying, homophobic bigot. Why should the rest of the panel not gang up on him? It was actually refreshing to see all the different parties agreeing with each other and finding a common ground (until they started trying to score points off each other again). Nice to see Griffin bringing the country together against him. |

I found Question time failed on so many levels last night.
They just didn't seem to allow Griffin to answer the questions without being interrupted or heckled by other members of the panel / audience. The whole show seemed to be attack on the BNP and dig up shit from his/BNP's past, the objective was not to make it about the BNP's past or views on stuff not asked by the audience but simply to find out their views on current issues (as Dimbledumb tried to point out a few times but failed).
We all know BNP are utter scum but they he will have gained sympathy and more votes from this sham debate.
