It doesn't take some nazi nobhead spouting shite on Question time to make the most reasonable person anywhere figure out that immigration is what any of the political parties must focus on .

That has completely played into Griffin's hands with his subsequent complaints about multi-cultural London not being reflective of the rest of the country.

I didn't watch the programme but was it an all black audience?
The BNP are not particularly interested in reasoned debate whenever I encounter them. Maybe their meetings are different. Are they?
The Panel and the Chairman were absolute rubbish, and I include the american historian who was lamentable - I don't need a history lesson! Most of the audience weren't much better, either.
They berated Griffin - thus giving him the opportunity to play the victim (which he knew would happen and he lapped it up) - without extracting from him what the public wanted or needed to hear, what are his and the BNP's true policies, not just on race but other issues, too.
If we are ever going to get to the bottom of the real BNP - assuming we want to - on reflection, it would be better if he was interviewed by 3 panellists who would not mindlessly boo, heckle or shout him down every time he went to speak but actually extract what he is all about.
On Thursday night, the Chairman, the Panel and the audience were so incredibly psyched-up that they probably played into his hands; they all overheated. He will, I am sure, regard "Question Time" as a step upwards; a coup.
When it came to an inter-parties issue, on immigration, they all floundered because their focus was entirely on rubbishing Griffin.
The public wanted to know what Griffin and the BNP stands for [yes, we all know about 1 or 2 policies they have] and to debate them with him so as to decimate them both; the Panel failed - simple.
Will we ever get to know? Proably not. Will their popularity increase? Probably, unless the vacuum left by mainstream parties on race and immigration isn't filled by them and a solution found...

However, I think it's worth bearing in mind persuasion is often better than, well, castigation (thinking of Flyman here, who deserves a bit of respect I reckon).
Still, there's been too much neo-Nazism on my TV this past week and it's beginning to get on my nerves.

All parties have a policy on immigration.
But i dont think political parties need a policy on race do they?
Apart from the BNP.

So you think we live in a democracy. 75% of the population want a vote on the EU, but unlike other EU countries, we are denied. 79% of the British public want an end to immigration, yet immigration is increasing. Britain is governed along communist lines, we have dictators ruleing our country and the right wing parties support base will continue to increase for these reasons. We are not a racist country, yet our main parties which refuse to deal with these issues are implying, because they have not got the policies the people want, but the right wing parties do...
