Stupid boy, democracy isn't necessary anymore. Didn't you notice?

The BNP gained 2 MEPs when their constitution was one which the UK authorities have only recently declared as racist.

Can anyone explain this anomaly?

They got in when it wasn't declared racist, they were a bit late but they've shut the stable door now.

Because nobody was bothered when they could be dismissed as fringe loonies.
Now they are a percieved threat to several MP's jobs they want to do something about it.

I wonder if the questions asked will cover current affairs topics plus the usual idiot/funny final one? .... or will they just ask questions that are targeted at Griffin instead of the panel in general?
Unfortunately living outside of the UK, I cannot access the programme.

Has the EU introduced legislation to the effect that a political party may not be racist?

If it hasnâ€™t, then is it not beyond possibility that we could have a political party which is racist under UK law but not under EU law?

In which event which would have precedence?

I completely agree. As Voltaire didn't say " I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it".

At the end of the day the BNP are a legally constituted political party with 2 MEPs - the fact that people do not personally agree with them does not negate their right to take part in political debate. Otherwise where does it end? I personally think that Harriet Harman is a dangerous hypocritical hysteric and I'd really rather not listen to her peddling ignorance and bigotry on the radio and television, but you don't see me out throwing eggs around and waving mis-spelt banners.

If the BNP are so full of c**p (which I believe they are) then what's the danger of them appearing? They might even, as some have noted, shoot themselves in the foot... :D

He has even pushed a few of mine by suggesting that third world economic immigrants are housed in Notting Hill to live side by side with the 'Liberal elite' who let them into the UK in the first place.

Sorry to drag this off topic, but what an outstanding idea!

British people protesting on the streets... there is hope!

Shame BBC Centre is 6 hours drive away!

Bring British Soldiers Home from Afghanistan -----will bring the taverns back to life if naught else
Put British Workers Before the Banks ---totall misunderstanding of this one
Promote British Culture, Traditions and Heritage ----as fish and chip supper and strikes and homosexuality

Looking at this trailer http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8321566.stm I don't think Griffin had a very good time on the show today.

Really, when did they show that.

You see, normally QT is recorded at 19:30 and nothing was said at the 6 o clock news to say things would be different.

I would be interested in where you saw this Colton
