ScottishToryBoy: A lot of fuss over nothing?

I think I’m probably one of the few bloggers that hasn’t yet written about Nick Griffin appearing on Question Time tonight, so I thought I’d break the duck now.

Based on some of the rantings stuff I have read, you would think we were approaching some sort of apocalypse as opposed to an elected representative being given a platform on Question Time. It is mostly those in the New Labour camp that have the biggest gripe with the leader of the extreme left-wing BNP appearing on TV. Young Yousuf of YappingYousuf fame seems to have gotten himself worked up into a wee tizz over this and Welsh Secretary Peter Hain wanted the BNP banned from appearing and is still handing out free legal advice.

Maybe I’m just getting cynical in my old age, but I suspect both the BBC and BNP will be fairly happy with the media coverage that this whole affair is getting. Like many I believe the views of the BNP are utterly abhorrent but down to their electoral “success” they are perfectly entitled to appear on Question Time. I note that David Dimbleby has been cleared to quiz Griffin on his denial of the Holocaust.

I should also note, I’m not going to even bother watching the show, that’s how little I actually care.
