The people will decide...

Nick Griffin represents the BNP on BBC's 'Question Time' tonight. Controversial he and his party may be, but how many people will be watching this programme tonight? I forecast the viewing figures will be very high and if they are, what does that tell you? It can only mean one of three things, I think;

1). The people agree with him.

2). The people disagree with him.

3). It's 50/50 and for once the people are taking note!

But lets not forget that 2 million people voted 2 of his MP's into Europe. Yes 2 MEP's!

And for those of you who think I am being racist by even daring to mention this I say, get real, this is a debate initiated by the BBC....not me!! However, as usual this is an opportunity for you to have your say...

Ron, I don't think "racist" has got anything to do with it, his party is addressing  a concern that most people with any "common dog" will be concerned about.......Immigration. That said I don't like Nick Griffin and I certainly don't buy in to the fascist aspect of the party BUT until another party starts listening to people's concerns and doesn't just start shouting "rascist" as a knee-jerk reaction, their following will increase.

Regards.

Some 8 million people tuned in to watch this programme last night, that is 4 times the normal figure! Doesn't that tell you something? Doesn't it tell you that we are unhappy with the policies of this Government and other parties? This may well turn out to be a protest vote but what it will do is play right into the hands of UKIP and I am all for that! Frankly, I think Nick Griffin did seem quite inexperienced but he was not given a fair chance to speak, always being shouted down when it was his turn, yet the audience was quiet when others had something to say! Regardless of BNP views I think David Dimbleby gave Nick Griffin a hard time, an unfair hard time at that, and in view of the fact that it was supposed to be an opportunity to allow fairness, I think the BBC (David Dimbleby in particular) was wrong, very wrong!!

I don't know too much about Griffin or the BNP, but I do know that the price you pay for freedom of speech is that everyone gets to have their say, no matter how controversial or hateful.  And I agree with Jason, the high no. of people that tuned in is probably due to the controversy.
