JAStewart Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 They have to plant a black dude in the crowd to ask him a question. It would be priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I suspect, given that he's entirely unused to debating publicly with anyone who disagrees with him, he's likely to have some problems. It's a good move by the BBC. Extreme parties like the BNP gain voters partly because they never have to expose themselves to the constant scrutiny that the main parties face. A labour politician, for instance, finds that there are journalists working flat out to spot inconsistencies in what he is saying, or flaws in his argument, or any other slip ups. They also have to deal with regular, aggressive interviews, in which the interviewer is desparately trying to catch them out. The BNP have only had a small taste of that treatment so far. Put on a big stage they will quickly discover how easy it is to fall over. Particularly when you're talking b ollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibber Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, but politicians don't really say much in interviews because of this and can be well evasive. I hope NG doesn't come across as refreshingly honest or 'delightfully un-PC'. Hopefully he's going to wet himself or come out or something.

Para Handy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 They have to plant a black dude in the crowd to ask him a question. It would be priceless. Why not a black person on the panel Or blacking him up and turn him into a Black and White Minstrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibber Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 No it should be a black dude. The blackiest, dudiest, jive talkingest afroest person they can find. Then watch NG's face fall into incomprehension as he has to address his biggest stereotype fear imaginable with respect and seriousness.

Mattie Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Who better than Baroness Scotland? Currently she is embroiled in a domestic situation regarding employing an illegal immigrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hark at us...... I hope there will be a cross section of folk, otherwise it would be biased, and from what I have seen in the past, tis all it needs... Will NG have a earpiece to get the right answers, bit like a pub quiz senario on Eastenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Inky Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Will NG have a earpiece to get the right answers...No need: as far as Mr Griffin is concerned, the right answer to every question is "I hate black people.". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Get Tommy Sheridan on Question Time alongside Nick Griffin? That would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAStewart Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Good idea, they have the same answer coming to both of them: "You're both wrong." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 "A statement on the Unite Against Fascism website said: "We are calling a demonstration outside Question Time at the BBC's Wood Lane centre to show our opposition to Griffin and the shameful decision to grant him a platform." I usually find them worse than the people they are demonstrating against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHyperChondriac Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 BBC News announced today: BNP leader Nick Griffin has agreed to ask his party to amend its constitution so it does not discriminate on grounds of race or religion, a court heard. The UK's equalities watchdog had argued the BNP broke the Race Relations Act by restricting members to "indigenous Caucasian" people.
