Nick Griffin, chairman of the BNP, responds regarding the debate on “Question Time“:
Apparently many people, even non-BNP supporters, are upset over the whole tone of the program: a public lynching of Nick Griffin. Upon my posting this, here’s the most recent YouTube comment on this video:
I don’t agree with much of what Nick Griffin says, like I don’t agree with much of what the communist party says, but I would fight to the death for both sides to be heard fairly in a free and democratic society. Last night proved that there is very little freedom left in this country for ordinary, hard working folk (of all races) yes islamic extremists are free to spout their hatred wherever and however they wish.
Update: BBC smear campaign backfires. New poll suggests support for BNP has risen since Question Time.

Personally, I think the BBC’s biased handling of the event may backfire. Apparently both after and immediately before the event the BNP experienced a spike in applications for membership, even by some prominent people.

Notice he endorsed withdrawing British troops from Afghanistan and used talking points identical to those an American non-interventionist would us.
