have any other policies? I thought it was merely 'let's send all immigrants (and those who look like immigrants - or who have stupid foreign sounding names etc) home and everything will be hunkey dorey', no?
They also want to put homosexuals 'back in the closet', whatever that means (though it doesn't sound especially nice). This is a softening of their previous position which was to simply recriminalise it. I'm sure, though, that if they had their way it'd be the concentration camps for me.
Not a happy bunny about this fiasco:
1) Putting the fucker on Question Time and letting the audience have their way with him (not to mention the other panellists) allows Griffin to plausibly claim that he was set up and picked on unfairly.
2) I had to put up with a fascist bastard on my telly for half of yesterday evening, and I'm all out of flyspray.
3) Now everybody's talking about the BNfuckingP, including me.
Strangely, the only time I got angry last night was when the Deputy Director General of the BBC was being interviewed, telling us in impeccably condescending tones how important free speech is, like he was a Professor of Political Philosophy rather than an overpromoted civil servant who clearly doesn't understand what he's just been playing with.
