if the programme is cancelled we are getting in the way of free speech I strongly oppose the BNP and their beliefs but they should be able to put across their party's policies beliefs like every other party If i've misunderstood whats going off then i apoligise but therers talk on the the news about cancelling question time because of the protests
Be a shame if the behaviour of people who should know better means freedom of speech isn't allowed tonight.
The odious little ****'s already inside. It'll happen. Wood Lane's full of crusty grebo climate protestor types. And double that number of press photographers trying to get summat started. He came in the back door, apparently - one for all you innuendo fans. Let's hope he doesn't try and get some decent snap while he's in there - no chance. That'll learn him.
We live in a democratic country, so pricks like him can have their say. anyone with half a brain will see how much of a ****** he is.
Don't underestimate these people Griffin will be well prepared. He'll quote plenty of statistics and get plenty of mileage out of other organisations such as the BPA.
Who else is on the panel Nost of the Labour Tory and Lib Dem MP's will be too busy points scoring to make him hang himself We need an intelligent independent person - someone like Mark Thomas or Ian Hislop to set him up Its hard to deny him a chance to speak just because he is an objectionable racist or you run into problems with other groups that the majority doesnt agree with Just hope he shows his true colours
RE: Who else is on the panel Justice Secretary Jack Straw, Tory peer Baroness Warsi, Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne and writer Bonnie Greer.
Thanks and grrr No one I have confidence in giving him a run around. Where's Ken Livinstone when you need him
but they want to simply trample... ...on ordinary people. they are racist, and racism has no place in a modern progressive society. rememeber, their party membership criteria is suspect to say the least. not sure if actually illegal. do we give the oxygen of publicity to paedophile groups? mass murderers? should they be allowed on question time? wonder if they'll start going on about australians, those being the largest migrant group to come into the uk, very often illegally. ie holiday visa, stay and work.
RE: but they want to simply trample... do we give the oxygen of publicity to paedophile groups? mass murderers? should they be allowed on question time. Of course not but he is an MEP. His success is down to the establishment not confronting him in open debate.
