Nick Griffen on Question Time

Nick Griffin , the British National Party leader, looked rattled as he was confronted and jeered by politicians and audience members on Question Time last night. David Dimbleby, the Question Time presenter, challenged Nick Griffin over his enthusiasm for the Ku Klux Klan in 2000. The BNP leader Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time caused great controversy and was preceded by protests outside the BBC with scenes of crowds bursting through police lines in protest.
The row over Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time also echoes the controversy that greeted the first invitation for Jean-Marie Le Pen to debate on French TV. the big debate is whether this apearance will have helped the BNP or if it will have shown them up for being a racist fascist party.
