The BNP – Is it right to give them airtime?

Let us not kid ourselves that Nick Griffin and his band of merry men, (and women of course), do not have some weird and racially bigoted ideology underpinning their ethos and existence. So, are the BBC wrong in allowing any right wing numpty airtime tonight? Lovers of freedom of speech will say, it’s Ok give them a voice, because freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy.

Others will say that such is the vile and subtle influence of such extremist groups that they promulgate hatred and violence by the mere fact that they are given a voice. We, here at The Chronicles, feel the BBC might see mileage in placing both Griffin And Anjem with their respective cronies on an island to see how they got on.

Also in a coup which out manoeuvres the past of this group the BNP are now trying to associate themselves with the values of the British armed services. If ever I have heard bollocks, this really does take the biscuit? Absolute desperation. Griffin therefore cannot be taken seriously. Perhaps all right wing organisations should be closed down. That would make our job of dealing with hate crime a little easier. Racial murders might reduce. Racial assaults might also reduce. And perhaps a better dress sense will come in also.
