Last night, Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP appeared on question time. Now before I proceed I must stress that I in any way DO NOT support the BNP. They are a racist fascist bunch of lunatics.
But I do think the BBC were right to allow mr Griffin to appear on question time and here is why.
Question time is an impartial programme and it cannot go choosing who it shows. If this country has democratically elected a fascist then so be it but in order to protect the impartial of the nature of the programme then the BNP must have the right to appear on the show, the same as if an extreme left wing party were electected.
Now that is my stance. The programme has been aired and what is done is done. Now stop arguing.
