I think the Radio 1 interview a few weeks back did a better job of exposing their lunacy. Werthead Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 01:06:19 AM
During that one, a BNP member walked straight into the trap of saying that "Ashley Cole should go back where he came from," (erm, the East End of London?), which regardless of anything else made him sound like an absolute fricking moron.

The Question Time interlude did an interesting job of making Griffin look completely out of his depth when faced with serious politicians and journalists, but didn't engage properly with the issues and just degenerated into a slanging match at times. If the goal was to give him enough rope to hang himself, it didn't quite succeed, although it came close a few times.

That said, the bit where he claimed that the BNP had abandoned its policty of anti-semitism so they could support Israel and bash some Muslims instead (cue the probable Israeli reaction of, "Erm, thanks but not thanks,";) in a newfound sense of Islamaphobic brotherhood was genuinely hilarious.
