Griffin restrained as BNP activists salivate over Question Time appearance

When interviewed by Adam Boulton for Sky News yesterday, Nick Griffin was keen to play down the importance of his appearance on BBC Question Time this Thursday*:

“I don’t think it’ll be a particularly important event. Question Time is about various political personalities. It shouldn’t be about sniping against each other, it should be about answering the questions of the day but either way it’s not going to change the world.”

Good to see the left arm knows what the right is doing at the BNP, whose website barely mentions … oh, wait a minute …

BNP Question Time countdown timerLeaving aside the fact that Jack Straw looks poised to assault Griffin with a countdown timer, this isn’t exactly downplaying things. And then there’s a series of “Question Time participant profiles”.

The BNP are virtually weeing themselves with excitement.

* Amusing contradictions aside, the tone adopted by Griffin for this interview will probably be consistent with that for this Thursday.

    Looks like he’s got an SNP badge on his lapel! Applied for tickets for Thurs but I’ll probably be vetted out!
