1 hour of non-stop badger-baiting.
Here the BBC was doing the right thing for once in allowing Nick Griffon to appear. Whilst simultaneously doing the wrong thing by populating the audience with the usual left wing liberal guardianistas, and then allowing said audience to do nothing but hammer 1 topic over and over again.
We had a chance to expose them as 1 trick racist ponies, with no actual policies. Instead it turned into a program all about Nick, all about bashing Nick. They couldn't even discuss the topic rationally, when do that when you can kick Nick. And that is exactly what the BNP would have been looking for.
Total failure of a programme.

It's funny how equality means they have to let anti-equality groups on *NM*

I think it's a good call from the BBC, and I do intend to watch it.

At which point did it show he was anywhere near capable of being a serious politician

At which point do you think any rational human being thought he was a serious politician?

I think the Radio 1 interview a few weeks back did a better job of exposing their lunacy.

It will be interesting to see any polls done, to see the actual impact.
