Question Time – Question is ‘Should THEY be on?’
Nick Griffin MEP
Tonight on BBC1 a controversial episode of the topical political show Question Time will be aired. Controversial? Yes – its the first time that a representative from the British National Party appears on the show. There has been much written already about this, even court injunctions sought to try and stop the BNP having a voice on the show.
Nick Griffin, the Member of European Parliament, and leader of the BNP will appear tonight alongside Labour’s Jack Straw MP, Conservative Baroness Warsi, LibDem Chris Huhne MP, playwright Bonnie Greer and host David Dimbleby.
Whilst we all know the BNP have racist views and don’t seem the nicest bunch of people around. They are at least bringing certain topics to the table to discuss – but these topics aren’t getting talked about due to the racism card that people can’t see past.
A lot of people at the European Elections voted for UKIP and the BNP because they are fed up of our continual handing out of benefits to people coming half way across the world to come and sponge off our over-generous benefits system. We have an island to live on and it is getting far too cramped and the inner city areas cannot cope. Britain has always welcomed people from other countries to come and live here and be part of Britain.
What people are objecting to is the main parties ignoring these issues. We need to look at these issues and start addressing them or more and more people will start looking to the extremist groups for answers if the mainstream guys don’t offer them the support and protection that they want.
