Gerry Adams HAS appeared on question time - in 1997
- albeit 'muted' with an actor speaking his words - like that made much difference!
That was in the days before he was an acceptable member of 'the establishment' - you know, when he was the organiser of the murder of innocent people.
My, how times change - the B*stard should be rotting in jail!

Seems like griffin may be 'whingeing' himself off 'Question time':

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6386936/BNP-leader-Nick-Griffin-accuses-police-of-abandoning-his-security-at-BBC.html#

Basically, the police have told him his security is his problem!! LOL

Popular chap isn't he? (NOT)

Bl**dy N**head P**tts

Hope he shows himself and his party up so even those without a braincell can see what idiots they are!

HEHEHE Love to go though his family tree - im sure he is not as 'pure' as he thinks .... mind you with a mentality like that, I wouldn't at all be suprised to find some in breeding!

It wasn't so long ago that McGuinness appeared on question time, and he actually DID the murders that Adams organised.

So in that light, maybe having a racist, facist bigot like Griffin isn't quite so bad. It will be interesting to hear the arguments against him and how he handles it. Remember, it's only in the last few days his party have been told they are breaking the law by not allowing membership on account of race/colour....aww shame eh?

That's why I think Lenny Henry will ask him for membership LOL

I've a feeling that Nick Griffin will come across as very urbane and reasonable. The Devil always hides his cloven hooves, horns, and tail when he's out in public. That's why he's so dangerous.

Confirmation on the news that Griffin WILL appear on Question Time tonight. Angry demonstrations outside the BBC, and some got into the building. I think they've been thrown out now, but doesn't bode well for tonight. The road is blocked by demonstrators right now.

They haven't mentioned Lenny Henry today, so I'm not sure he's going to be there after all.

I wonder if he'll meet him Julie lol. Bet he'd have something to say...

He IS in the building, he was sneaked in through the back door. I would suggest we just all switch off, but I know me, and I know curiosity will get the better of me LOL.

Just saw a clip on the news ... No Lenny, shame he's very bright and quick, I am sure he would have made mincemeat out of him.

Just watching it on BBC news channel, there's about 500 (looks more to me) protestors outside the BBC now...

OMG, As he walked in to the BBC, he said he knew this would be a big event, there are a lot of Labour Party-financed groups out there....what a *******

Have we all decided on the verdict before the trial?

Maddiecow

Maddiecow Report 22 Oct 2009 20:12

Think the panellists now are Jack Straw, Baroness Warsi, Chris Huhne, Nick Griffin and Bonnie Greer.

Demonstrators outside the BBC are now moving en-masse toward the shopping centre...nobody is sure why at the moment.

Dermot...yes!

edit... Speaking for myself...

I don't need to see and hear him to make the decision...I only need to go on experience and an ability to read the 'small print'

Dermot, this isn't a trial. How I feel about Nick Griffin is based on what I have seen of the BNP and it's views so far, and it's not favourable.

I'm not overkeen on Baroness Warsi, she has a tendency to see racism where there isn't any, but should make interesting (and tense) viewing.

and just in case anyone has missed it , this has a run down on those participating tonight

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/question_time/8315226.stm

"In 1998 he (Griffin) was convicted of violating section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986, relating to incitement to racial hatred, for his editorship of issue 12 of The Rune, published in 1996. He had written: "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the Earth was flat... the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria."

What more does anyone need to know about this man? !
