Question Time and This Week

Is it true Bonnie Greer's on it? Fuckin' hell.

Yeah, heard that at the start of the week. Don't rilly think Griffin and the boys have thought this one thru.

yeah, normally they're really on the ball

Can't believe I missed my cue to repost lolloway.jpg

Dannii "even some of the street signs are in Asian" Minogue is also recording a programme at Television Centre tonight, according to the Guardian.

Bonnie Greer, American playwright and critic: "The joker in the pack; knows how to look after herself and may be more of a handful than the others."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman: "Big hitter. Menzies Campbell would have been more daunting."

Jack Straw, justice secretary: "A very effective advocate."

Sayeeda Warsi, Tory community cohesion spokesman: "Token Asian, Muslim woman on the Conservative team. They were always likely to play a stunt like that."

"a great bunch of lads"

pretty stoked that bonnie's on the panel tbh, she's great

God, this is terrifying. I really wouldn't have made the same decision.

Audience tweeter says "Mood in studio has switched from anger to mockery and contempt"

I read "Griffin shaking and nervous as his views are mocked" and I start to feel bad for him. Fucking underdog-supporting instincts kick in! God, I'm such a softie.

YEAH GO ON NICK, SHOW 'EM SOME BULLDOG SPIRIT

"Griffin on Question Time all over. He's left. Worth watching. He gets an absolute pasting."

Look forward to seeing this now.

Speak Your Branes' top answer:

I'm afraid I can't hear you Mr Griffin, the BBC appear to have 'inadvertantly' allowed in a whole bus load of Guardian reading social workers to shout you down from the audience!

If I could get a word in above the howls of protest from idiots in the audience I would ask how he is going to tackle the out of control population problem in the UK, how to curb young idiots in too powerful cars endangering everyone else and how he'll deal with antisocial behaviour. In all cases I would expect a straighforward answer unlike the other main parties who seem happy to watch this country go down the drain happily aided by the PC brigade. The silent majority are fed up!

Wasnt the BNP for raising the speed limit? That will really curb young idiots in powerful cars!

ow to curb young idiots in too powerful cars endangering everyone else

i'm pretty certain that young adults driving cars is the worst problem this country has.

I do not agree with the racism issues, but a lot of what they stand for is fair, and logical. why do we have sopport groups for "ethnic minorities" which by definition neglect the majority? why should we have any positive discrimination at all? that is as abhorrent as the racism issues. If I was to try to launch a "Music of White Anglo Saxon" origin, I would be termed racist. (probably would not be successful!) yet we allow things like MOBO to go ahead. that is racist.

I think that guy posted the same thing on HYS before

Why is there even a latin grammys? can't they just enjoy seeing americans win them? racists.

Griffin on Talksport now

Not like Talksport to give air-time to batshit right-wingers.

Nick Griffin - Twitter stream is on overdrive

Americans: Who is this Nick Griffin chap

if you watch the clips you can see he gets a total roasting. by the end he's actually shaking and can't handle it cos basically it appears that no human being could sit there and be eviscerated with the glare of a hostile crowd on them. what the fuck can he say when a black guy in the audience loses the rag with him completely and starts asking why his parents or an indian person's parents or a pakistani person's parents should have to leave Britain?

Hasn't a fucking leg to stand on, the more they make these racists have to talk to their intended victims directly the more lily livered they'll appear.

But this will only be seen as intimidation by his sympathisers won't it? Nick Griffin didn't get a fair hearing blah blah blah...

I'm not really expecting anyone to watch QT and have the sudden revelation that he's a odious tool. Either you know this already, or you're never going to twig.

coming up the most watched QT ever

Yeah but if the net result of the programme is just that his sympathisers stay loyal then that's pretty good. I agree many people will have known what the BNP are about but personally I do think it's worth being reminded how bad they actually are. Plus like I say, it was a small risk that he might have done very well out of it and convince some people he wasn't an odious tool.

Well the BBC are so short of good comedy these days.

Mark Langford, Sky News Online
BNP leader Nick Griffin got a "rough ride" on BBC's Question Time after violent protests beforehand left three police injured.

Griffin sparked controversy by telling the audience that Britain's white population were equivalent to the "Aborigines".

Journalists sitting in the studio said that much of what the BNP leader said was "mocked" by the audience and the panelists.

Would be pretty good if Dimbleby didn't actually direct any questions to Griffin and just let him sit there and stew.

I never thought it would be possible to actually warm to Jack Straw.

Griffin just called the 1940s "the early days of British immigration", didn't he?

and a low blow about Straw's father.

I think anyone who wasn't sure now know how odious this cunt is.

haha dimbleby is ripping the pish out of him

I never thought it would be possible to actually warm to Jack Straw.

^^^ haha yes!

Sure I hate black people but they don't walk like monkeys! Like me!

"I never said they walk like monkeys, I just think it."

was his strategy basically to lie about all the stuff he has actually said???

x-post he's more odious than I thought...good call by dimbleby, what the fuck is he smiling about?

Nick Griffin actually looks a bit like Churchill doesn't he?

oh yes
