Jack Straw wouldn't even speak with one of his constituents in his office because she wore a niqab but he is happy to be in the company of fascist Nick Griffin in front of millions? And the others on the panel?
Why did the head of the BBC, a man personally responsible for refusing to broadcast a community announcement appeal to raise money for the victims of Israeli destruction of Gaza, a decision he presumably does not consider to be censorship but permits the BNP a public platform which is against the BBC own standards? There is plenty of editorial control in the BBC for things they want controlled and for the head of the BBC to say that not to have the BNP on 'Question Time' is disingenuous. It amounts to promotion of fascism and racism on the public dime and time. Also antifascists have been meticulously vetted from the audience, while BNP members and supporters were in attendance.
The point wasn't Griffin, Maggie, but the new face of multi-racial Cameroonian Toryism: The anti-fascist was carefully excluded to enable this to happen.
If you get the chance, watch closely the performance of the young female Asian Tory panelist - whose performance the Tory press and "spontaneous" contributors to the comment sections on press websites has widely celebrated - and some of the audience figures picked out by that old establishment hood Dimbleby.
Someone should have a good look at who funds and backs the production company responsible for Question Time. It is almost certainly of relevance to recall how the spooks stacked Question Time audiences during the debate on British membership of the EEC in the early 1970s.
