This is a picture of the head of the British National Party on the Andrew Marr political show on BBC1 TV sunday morning. I thought it was quite a shock to see him (Nick Griffin) on the screen as a short time ago I seem to remember they were banned. Even Irish Politicians like Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness were banned one time, as the powers that be considered that these types getting their message out was both unsavoury and unhelpful to the greater good.
Now we have the BNP bright as a pin on sunday morning, racists and fascists slotted in between respectable items with Labour and Conservative. But isnt this giving them, the BNP, a veneer of repectability..to be beamed in this way into our homes over the cornflakes.
There was nothing new in any of it, nothing at all. They have all the obvious race issue questions off pat with ready made pre mixed answers. If you see him on another show next week he will still give those same ready made pre mixed answers. He has a list no doubt in his pocket..how to answer question A or B or C etc etc.
They have increased their vote in recent times...roughly from 800,000 before to 1million in the recent election. So are they on the rise? Should we be giving them air coverage because as shure as eggs is eggs, their vote will increase on account of it.
