Questions for the BNP tonight

Sunny Hundal's got a list. Has David Dimbleby?

Sunny Hundal, of Liberal Conspiracy, has a fantastic list of questions Nick Griffin should be asked tonight on Question Time.

The real question is: will David Dimbleby ask any of them?

Note: I will be live-blogging Question Time tonight from 10.35pm here on the NS Dissident Voice blog.

Had the BNP been in power at the time when Ian Huntley abused and murdered those two little girls, what would have happened to him? would he have been hanged or would he be as he is today living a life of luxury at the taxpayers expense

All of these question lists are too complicated. Just one is needed.

What is your party's definition of someone who is British?

All very well but the site of liberals with their credentials unzipped and hanging out, and blind to any form of debate is never edifying. The man does make (a very few) interesting points – points that don’t get made elsewhere – for example that unfettered immigration disproportionately affects ethnic minorities. Whilst it’s true that many minority groups are disadvantaged economically and much of that has to do with the sort of prejudice his kind produce, it’s still an issue that needs ventilation. I’ve never seen anyone on the left mention that. Worthwhile issues are not to be debated. How are we going to get true progressives and the radical left a voice if we shout down anything out of the mainstream?

About time, the pro-EU lobbyists have stopped all rational debate on the legality of Britains membership of the European Superstate.

We're a small tea shop in Brighton - read about our recent experience of Nick Griffin and whether we think he should be on Question Time: www.metrodeco.wordpress.com

I am 64, met my Polish Dad 4 years back for first time, and his Polish wife. He's now 96. He a member of Chicohemnie ('silent and unseen), she a 17 yr old runner and nurse in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising (she said the German army even the SS saluted them as they went off not to the usual gas chambers/ditches in forest but to POW camps). Went to States after the war - I asked her why - the Brits she said were clearly unhappy about Poles staying. For a man with the Virtutati Militari (their VC) who had a price on his head from the Gestapo and the whatever-became-the-KGB (some sort of record) what does that say?

I get angry we have Labour Ministers who even will share a platform, there has been a tradition in the party of not doing so. Jack, it would have been fine for you to be introduced, but when the Beast was introduced you should have upped and off the platform and gone into the audience at the very least. And that would have been the message, that the BNP is not legitimate, and is the heir-of-nazism.

Anyway, the Equalities Commission is doing its job, the BNP have already been seen to turn away black and Asian people at a meeting in Barking. The BNP can be stopped, use the law from now on, think of what it will do to their election campaign - injunctions, court challenges. Please please bring it on!

No he should never have been allowed on, but it would have taken a court decision that the party was in breach of the equalities and thus electoral law of the land to enable the BBC to do that. Advance that day.
