But thats my point. All this "we must suppress" business isn't good for harmony. As has already been stated, when an Islamic extremist can walk down the streets shouting "death to infidels" etc, then why can't the opposite view be heard. Afterall, everyone has an opinion on immigration and NG is exploiting it - right or wrong. How can we expect the masses to make informed decisions when everything is driven underground?

Bet the Beeb are loving this - ratings will go through the roof!

I fought for this country so that everyone can have there right to say what they think, whether I agree or not.

That also goes for anyone wanting to ware a t-shirt saying B*ll*cks to Bl**r!

There's been some interesting points raised on here but really this is more about the mechanics of QT than the content. Is this edition going to descend into a slanging match or will it be the platform for constructive, if heated, debate?

I don't think Griffin will get a word out
He will be booed and shouted down the minute they go to him

I will be partaking in the drinking game

TWO FINGERS

Can't we just wait to see what he has to say? Undoubtedly he'll be hounded down and I suspect when pressured (if the audience has the nouse) on any other policy other than immigration, he'll be totally embarrassed - the BNP has no other policies ffs! Bring on intelligent questions as, despite the fact that Griffin is an 'intelligent man', his party has no real substance (did anybody see his response to the 'Generals' jibe as 'black humour' - he was lost!. He will be hoist by his own petard here!

Hain's accusation that the BNP are an 'illegal party' just further shows his own party's lack of touch.

It does reflect, however, the growing discontent among Brits and the current trend of 'just let em in'. Is there a solution?

This is reminiscent of the police allowing suspects their 'air time' to appeal for the victim - and then to be caught out. Griffin will lose much more than he hopes to gain by his appearance tonight provided he isn't given the platform of silence provided by some morons in the audience - it will only give grist to his dubious mill

I agree that this will not end up being a constructive debate but a slagging/booing/hissing tennis match between the panel & the audience

The whole issue has been dealt in a shambolic way by the BBC, great PR for the BNP though, I think a lot of the major issue's which really DO need to be tackled but will be overshadowed by a tit-for-tat attempt by some hard liners

Just watching the childish/imature banner holders on the media, will be interesting to see how this develops.

Look on the bright side, if Baroness Warsi speaks at any length they'll all be driven to suicide. I watched her last performance on QT and listening to her is like having needles inserted into your head.

Did you notice the one about Iraq? Apparently loads of Iraqi civvies have been killed/made homeless/ wounded. Is it just me or was that Labours little scheme?

Fcuk me if your gonna turn up to a protest bring the right placard!!

'QT' will could have been pre-recorded this afternoon, as I understand it. If there is any chance of Public Disorder in and around the BBC TV Centre, then the whole shebang will have been relocated to a secret location, including the audience, so as has been stated yesterday by a BBC spokesperson.

I'm not sure that I want to watch it tonight, as as I usually do. If it decends into a School Yard 'Hiss, Suck Ya-boo...' then I'm off down the pub before it closes..... couldn't be arrsed....!!

AND!

Don't you think his PR team will be logged in to the comments from Arrse - considering they think they purport to represent the British squaddie?

And if they are, I shall be watching with interest Mr Griffin!

I reckon the tw@t will be the one that walks away looking good. Remember, he's not stupid, well stupid but very well educated.

The BBC are loving this, and all the racist chav cnuts who had never heard of Griffin now have a hero

I don't think he will. The audience will have been selected and, as a recorded show, any trouble will be dealt with to give a seamless programme. I do think they wil give him a "polite" grilling. I live in hopes of an interesting, informative programme.

Yes agree'd, the Cambridge educated leader is not to be under-estimated, his aim is to highlight why Britain is broken, the mainstraim parties have ignored & let down many up & down the country

"I will watch as i always do, last time it got heated as i remember was when mrs becket got heckled over the expenses row"

NB: I wonder how many walk out in disgust

I was thinking of the QT when Margeret Beckitt was on and the expence row happened everytime she started to talk they shouted her down

BBC traffic now reporting the road closed outside the BBC due to the "protest"

This is a first for Question Time and is a somewhat historic and unique TV moment. David Dimbleby will be fully aware of that and will keep a tight rein on both the panel and audience. Nick Griffin is mainly used to preaching to a person of lower intellect than himself, and political lightweights and bullshitters rarely get through an hour in front of Dimbleby, the audience and their fellow panellists without being exposed as under-briefed, or just plain stupid. I'm looking forward to his response to the questions selected from the public, provided that they are well balanced and not just racially themed as we already know Griffin's views on non whites etc.

Don't think he will get a word in, leftie BBC will have a partisan crowd, some of the panel will flounce out in dignified outrage etc rather than have a serious debate with the bloke and show him and his party up.

Don't know any of the BNPs policies apart from the obvious ones the journos mention, so don't know how much depth Nick Griffin will have.

Plus his brother Peter is much funnier.

Exatamundo! Let him dig his own hole!

Can I drive the 'dignified outrage' bus? I've got the quals, the work ticket and just need the keys. Where should I drop 'em off?
